Introduction
Sometimes the strategy matters in Minecraft, which is similar to some Chinese chess games.
This mod adds some Chinese chess games including Xiangqi, Weiqi, Wuziqi, Junqi, and Feixingqi.
It is recommended to play with your friends, but of course you can use them in a singleplayer game.
The boards are generated in the world as structures and you have to make pieces. You can check the recipes with JEI.
Xiangqi, Weiqi, and Wuziqi

You can find the introduction and rules here:
Junqi

You can find the introduction and rules here:
Feixingqi (Flight Chess)

The mod does not provide pieces for Feixingqi because you can use vanilla blocks as pieces. For example, redstone blocks, gold blocks, diamond blocks, and emerald blocks.
The mod provides a dice block. You can roll a dice in two ways:
- Right click to place the block.
- Press Q to throw it as item entity. It converts to a block after it stops moving.

Server lagging with Chinese Chess – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Chinese Chess consumes the most tick time.
