Chess Pieces are craftable objects exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in A New Reign. There are eight different variants that can be crafted at a Potter's Wheel and are mostly meant for decoration. Nearly all of them are unlocked by giving their respective Sketch to the Potter's Wheel, except for the Bubble Pipe Carving and the Carved Hornucopia, which are always available. Players are able to sculpt Chess Pieces out of two Rocks and one MarbleCut Stone or Moon Shard. The chosen material determining the color of the crafted Chess Piece.

Chess Pieces can be carried by players in the chest slot, similar to Suspicious Marble, slowing down their movement speed and preventing them from several inventory actions, such as equipping a handheld item.

Depending on whether the player chooses to place 1 Marble, 1 Cut Stone or 1 Moon Shard on the wheel before sculpting, the resulting Figure will be white, black or translucent green. Varg Figures additionally require 2 Rocks and 2 Hound's Teeth to craft, while the Hound Figures require 2 Rocks and 1 Hound's Tooth.

Prototype.png Tips

  • These structures act as impenetrable walls except to certain bosses. This can be used in the Moon Caller's Staff event to block off Spiders ,Werepigs and Hounds.

Placeholder.png Trivia

  • Most Chess Pieces were added in the A Little Fixer Upper update, while the Giant Figures were introduced in an unnamed Bonus Update after the completion of A New Reign. The Bee Queen, Toadstool, Antlion, Ancient Fuelweaver, and Klaus figures were added in the May QoL update.
  • Based off of character quotes, it is implied that the Kingly Figure refers to Maxwell, the Queenly figure to Charlie, and the Pawn to all the other playable characters.
  • Maxwell's examination quote of the Pawn Figure lampshades the lack of a Clockwork Pawn enemy by stating that he doesn't know what a Pawn is.
  • The Queenly Figure used to have speech file lines referring to it having a "struggling" state, but these were later removed or commented out.
  • The Moon Shard figure type as well as the Moon Moth, Anchor, and "Moon" Figures were introduced in the Turn of Tides update.
  • Knight, Bishop, and Rook Figures made from Moon Shards will not spawn Shadow Pieces if hammered during a new moon. This is intentional.[1]
  • In the Host of Horrors beta test, an early version of Armored Bearger Chess Pieces was discovered in the Nightmare Werepig Chess Pieces files.
