• # NewBedwars

A modern, fully configurable Bedwars plugin built from the ground up for Paper 1. 17+. You get the classic Bedwars experience (teams, beds, generators, shops) plus a proper in-game setup system, YAML-driven GUIs, multi-arena support, and deep gamerule control. No extra plugins needed.

Whether you're running a small survival server and just want to add a Bedwars minigame, or building a full-blown Bedwars network, NewBedwars gives you the tools to build polished arenas without a headache.

> This is a beta release. Core gameplay is stable and feature-complete. Please report any issues via the GitHub issue tracker.

## Why this exists

A lot of free Bedwars plugins make you pick one: simple but bare-bones, or powerful but bloated with dependencies and a config file the size of a novel. NewBedwars tries to skip that trade-off. You set up an arena entirely in-game through a guided setup flow, so there's no hand-editing YAML just to place a bed or a generator. Everything from the shop GUI to the scoreboard is defined in YAML you can reshape without touching a single line of Java. PlaceholderAPI and WorldEdit are supported if you have them, but you don't need either one. Install the jar, start the server, and you've got a fully working Bedwars setup.

## Highlights

Gameplay - Multi-arena support, so you can run as many arenas as you want at once, each in its own world - Configurable team count, colors, and player limits per arena - Quick Void: instant death below a configurable Y level - Per-team build protection zones so the opposing side can't place blocks where they shouldn't - Rejoin system, so players can reconnect to a game if they get disconnected - Party system: group up with `/party`, invite friends with clickable chat buttons, and let the party admin lead everyone into an arena together

Chat & visibility - Arena chat isolation, so each arena has its own chat completely separate from the lobby and other arenas - Team chat via `!message`, toggleable per arena - Optional arena-wide global chat channel - Tab list isolation, so lobby and arena players never see each other

Display & HUD - YAML-templated bossbars for waiting, playing, and ending states - Per-player scoreboards with full placeholder support - Spectator mode with flight and a compass that teleports you to live players - Six languages out of the box: English, Polish, German, Spanish, French, and Russian. Missing keys just fall back to English automatically - Per-arena resource packs, sent automatically on join and cleared on leave

Integrations - PlaceholderAPI: 14 placeholders under `%newbedwars_%` for scoreboards, chat formatters, and other plugins. Totally optional, the plugin loads fine without it - WorldEdit / FastAsyncWorldEdit: build an arena straight from a `.schem` file instead of placing blocks by hand. Also optional, manual setup works fine without it

## Requirements

• Server: Paper 1. 17 – 26. 2 (Spigot will probably work too, but it's untested, so Paper is recommended)
• Java: 16 or higher

Optional: PlaceholderAPI, if you want `%newbedwars_%` placeholders elsewhere on your server, and WorldEdit or FastAsyncWorldEdit, if you'd rather build arenas from a schematic than by hand. Neither is required, NewBedwars runs fine standalone.

## Getting started

1. Grab the jar from the (https://modrinth.com/plugin/new-bedwars/versions)** and drop it into your server's `/plugins/` folder. 2. Start the server. Config files generate automatically. 3. Set your lobby spawn: `/bw setLobby` 4. Create your first arena: `/bw arena create myArena` 5. Follow the setup checklist shown by `/bw arena`. 6. Save the arena: `/bw save` 7. Enable it when ready: `/bw arena enable myArena`

### Building an arena from a schematic

If you'd rather paste in a finished map than build one from scratch in-game:

1. Save your map as a `.schem` file in WorldEdit's schematics folder (`plugins/WorldEdit/schematics/` or `plugins/FastAsyncWorldEdit/schematics/`). 2. Run `/bw arena create myArena -sche myMap`. 3. The map gets pasted automatically at world origin. Continue with the normal setup checklist from there.
