Bedwars

Every team has an island with a bed. As long as the bed stands, you come back after dying. Once it is destroyed, your next death is your last. With bronze, iron and gold from the spawners you buy blocks, armor, weapons and special items from the villager, build your way over to the enemies and destroy their beds. The last team with players left wins.

It plays like on the big German servers:

• 2 to 8 teams in team colours, team selection in the lobby
• Gold vote (gold on/off)
• Shop with categories and quick buy, team chest, rescue platform, home teleporter, trap
• Twists: sudden death, resource rain, bed protection, bridge egg, fireball, lucky bag and bounty

Bedwars is a game mode (license gm:bedwars); everything can be configured per task.

Setting up

1. Create a task: Cloud → Spielmodi ("Game modes") → Bedwars → Task erstellen ("Create task"). 1.5 GB RAM is enough for 16 players.
2. Maps: exactly one waiting lobby and at least one arena. With several arenas there is a map vote. Arenas may have different numbers of teams.
3. Beds: build them into the map as usual, one per team (on 1.8 all beds are red, that does not matter).
4. Set markers on the setup server (/gsetup tp <Karte>, /gsetup marker <Typ>):

1. Finish the setup.

Team size: With Players per team (Spieler pro Team) = 0 (default), Bedwars divides Max players (Maximale Spieler) by the teams of the map: 16 players on a map with 8 teams makes 8×2, with 4 teams 4×4. With a fixed number (e.g. 1 for 8×1), at most teams × size players get a slot and the rest spectate. Set Max players to match.

How a round goes

Team selection: Full teams are locked. With Balance teams (Teams ausgleichen) you can only join a team if it then has at most one player more than the other teams that will play. Players without a team are already counted in. So friends can team up as soon as enough people are in the lobby. At the start the teams are balanced once more, preferably by moving players who were assigned automatically.

Tab list and name tags show the team colour, with Team tag (Team-Kürzel) also [R], [B] … in front.

Sidebar: every team with ✔ (bed stands) or ✘ and the number of living players, your team marked with ◄. Plus the time until bed protection ends or sudden death, your kills and beds and the bounty, if there is one.

Rules

• Building: You can only break blocks placed by players, plus enemy beds. The map itself stays intact. Nobody can build around team spawns and shops (Building ban around spawns and shops, default 2 blocks) or right on spawners.
• Bed destroyed: Everyone hears it and the team gets a title. The destroyer gets Coins per bed and a point in the "Beds" statistic. You cannot break your own bed.
• Death: If your bed stands, you spectate for Respawn time (Respawn-Zeit) seconds and come back at your team spawn. Without a bed it is a final kill and you are out. Below the map (Death below the map, Tod unter der Karte) you die at once and the last attacker gets the kill.
• Drops: Death drops (Drops beim Tod) = ressourcen (default, only bronze/iron/gold), alles (everything) or nichts (nothing). With Resources to the killer (Ressourcen an den Killer) the resources go straight into the killer's inventory.
• Team chest: Every ender chest (in the map or bought) opens your team's shared chest. Normal chests are normal chests.
• Chat: goes to your team. With @ in front (Character for everyone, Zeichen für alle) you write to everyone.
• Explosions (TNT, fireball) only destroy placed blocks and, with Blast-proof glass (Glas explosionsfest), no glass. Beds survive every explosion.
• No friendly fire (configurable), hunger on (configurable), crafting off (configurable).

Resources

The drops pile up at the spawner into one stack. A countdown floats above iron and gold spawners (Countdown above spawners). Gold vote: the majority decides; on a tie Gold on by default (Gold standardmäßig an) applies. Someone with the permission can fix it with /bedwars forcegold <an|aus>.

Shop

Right-clicking (or hitting) a shop villager opens the shop: categories at the top, offers below. Left click buys once, shift-click buys as many as your resources pay for (up to a stack). Armor goes straight onto a free slot.

Everything is in the setting Shop offers (Shop-Angebote), one line per offer:

Kategorie;ITEM-SPEC;Preis;bronze|eisen|gold
Blöcke;TEAM_TERRACOTTA 2;2;bronze
Schwerter;GOLDEN_SWORD sharpness:2 unbreakable;3;eisen
Spezial;@rescue-platform;3;gold

• Item spec: MATERIAL [amount] [extras] with modern names (they work on 1.8 too), e.g. sharpness:2, effect:SPEED:30:2, name:&aMy_Name, color:#ff8800, unbreakable.
• Team colour: TEAM_WOOL, TEAM_TERRACOTTA, TEAM_STAINED_GLASS, TEAM_CARPET … are delivered in the buyer's colour (TEAMBLOCK = TEAM_TERRACOTTA). Leather armor is dyed automatically.
• Special items: @rescue-platform, @home, @trap, @tracker, @bridge-egg, @fireball, @tnt, @lucky. Resources as goods: @bronze 16, @eisen 2, @gold 1 (e.g. an exchange).
• At most 9 categories. The server skips broken lines and writes them to the log.

Special items

Kills by TNT and fireballs count for whoever placed or threw them.

Twists

All twists are in the group Twists. Each one can be switched off or tuned with numbers:

In addition, every round ends after Max duration (Höchstdauer, default 60 min). Then the team with the most living players wins; on a tie it is a draw.

Commands

Alias: /bw.

Permissions and packages

Choosing a team needs no permission; it is open to everyone.

Packages:

• Bedwars Premium: double vote, join full rounds, spectate.
• Bedwars YouTuber: additionally fix the map and gold, shorten the start.
• Bedwars Team: eternal.bedwars.*.

They are assigned under Task → Rechte-Pakete ("Permission packages"), see Game modes.

Statistics and coins

/bedwars stats [player] shows wins, games, kills, final kills, deaths, beds and the K/D. The data applies across the whole network and to all Bedwars tasks. In the dashboard the statistics table is sorted by wins.

Coins are paid for a win (Coins for win, everyone in the winning team), for every kill (Coins per kill), for every bed (Coins per bed) and for a bounty. The server needs the Coins module for that.
