Touhou Little Maid Shogi

Touhou Little Maid Shogi is an add-on for Touhou Little Maid that adds a Japanese shogi board where players can challenge their maids to a complete game of shogi.

Features

• Play Japanese shogi against your maid
• Dedicated shogi board with animated maid interaction
• Piece promotion, check, checkmate, repetition, and move-limit rules
• AI moves powered by an embedded pure-Java engine based on Sunfish4
• Multiplayer and dedicated-server support

Platform Support

Shogi matches are available on any client platform capable of running Minecraft 1.21.1 with Java 21.

AI search runs locally on the player’s client in a background worker. Dedicated servers only maintain game state and do not perform engine searches, keeping the additional server workload low.

The evaluation and opening-book resources remain inside the mod JAR and are loaded directly into memory. No engine resources are extracted to the game’s config directory.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• NeoForge 21.1.215 or newer
• Touhou Little Maid 1.4.1 or newer
• Java 21

The embedded Java shogi engine includes an implementation ported from the open-source Sunfish4 engine.
