Where is the checkerboard pattern living these days?

So a few older tutorials I have been following have people dragging the Checkerboard from the Material palette onto an object. I thought maybe the checkerboard just was no more since the material system changed, but I recently saw a Houdini 17+ tutorial where someone did the same thing. My material palette has no Checkerboard pattern on it. Where can I find it? Is it something I have to opunhide?

Yup, dragged it on and confirmed that the material path was showing.
I'm sure this is something dumb and obvious–for instance, is there an equivalent of hitting 6 in Maya? I made sure that show materials is turned on, and if I modify the base color it works, it just doesn't accept anything from the pattern.

That's great, thanks! More complicated than it apparently used to be, but I'm assuming that had to do with them retooling how shaders/materials are handled.
The place I saw this done, where he just drags it off the palette, is at 5:09 at:
