The Minecraft Chess Set or Minecraft Chess Set: Overworld Heroes vs. Hostile Mobs is a Minecraft-themed Template:W set based on the Minecraft:Mobestiary.<ref name="video">Template:Cite</ref>
Description
The set comes wrapped in a thin plastic layer, with a thin cutout decorating the main box. Opening the box reveals an assembly manual, along with four plastic-wrapped quadrants of the board that need to be placed together before playing. Underneath, two plastic containers encasing the black and white pieces (seperated by another plastic sheet), respectively, are put. Two small plastic bags with two metalic Minecraft logos each to be embedded in the chess frame are also put.<ref name="vid">Template:Cite </ref>

Black pieces have an "Minecraft:obsidian"-like finish with a Minecraft:redstone inspired base, and are based off of Minecraft:monsters.<ref name="noble"/> While the pieces are made to resemble stone, they are made of a plastic like material.<ref name="vid"/> A pixelated insignia representing the piece type shows on a pieces base, being orange for white pieces and red for black.<ref name="shop">Template:Cite</ref>
