--- # 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 **[latest Modrinth release](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. --- ## Commands **Player** | Command | Description | |---|---| | `/bw join [arena]` | Open the arena selector or join a specific arena | | `/bw rejoin` | Rejoin your previous arena | | `/bw lobby` | Leave the arena and return to the main lobby | | `/bw spectate [arena]` | Join a running arena as a spectator | | `/bw lang ` | Change your display language | | `/bw help` | Show all available commands | | `/bw stats [player]` | Show a player's stats | | `/bw profile [player]` | Show a player's stats via GUI | | `/bw leaderboard [wins\|kills\|beds\|fk]` | Show the top 10 players by a stat | | `/lobby` | Shortcut for `/bw lobby` | | `/lang ` | Shortcut for `/bw lang` | **Party** | Command | Description | |---|---| | `/party invite ` | Invite a player to your party | | `/party accept` | Accept a pending invite (clickable in chat) | | `/party deny` | Deny a pending invite (clickable in chat) | | `/party leave` | Leave your current party | | `/party list` | List all party members | | `/party kick ` | Kick a member from your party (admin only) | | `/party admin ` | Transfer the admin role (admin only) | | `/p` | Alias for `/party` | **Admin** | Command | Description | |---|---| | `/bw arena create [-sche ] [-n]` | Create a new arena, optionally from a WorldEdit schematic | | `/bw arena list` | List all arenas and their current status | | `/bw arena delete ` | Permanently delete an arena | | `/bw arena enable ` | Enable a fully configured arena | | `/bw arena disable ` | Disable a running arena | | `/bw arena setup ` | Enter setup mode for an arena | | `/bw setLobby` | Set the global lobby spawn point | | `/bw manageGame` | In-game admin management panel (phase skip, force-start, stop) | | `/bw reload` | Save arenas, kick all players, and reload the configuration | --- ## Permissions **Admin** | Permission | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | `newbedwars.bw.admin` | op | Full admin access, grants all sub-permissions below | | `newbedwars.bw.arena` | op | Manage arenas (grants the 5 sub-permissions below) | | `newbedwars.bw.arena.create` | op | Create arenas | | `newbedwars.bw.arena.delete` | op | Delete arenas | | `newbedwars.bw.arena.enable` | op | Enable arenas | | `newbedwars.bw.arena.disable` | op | Disable arenas | | `newbedwars.bw.arena.setup` | op | Enter arena setup mode | | `newbedwars.bw.setlobby` | op | Set the lobby location | | `newbedwars.bw.managegame` | op | Manage running games | | `newbedwars.bw.bypass` | op | Bypass setup-mode restrictions | **Player** | Permission | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | `newbedwars.bw.player` | true | Bundle, grants all player permissions below | | `newbedwars.bw.join` | true | Join arenas | | `newbedwars.bw.lobby` | true | Teleport to the lobby | | `newbedwars.bw.rejoin` | true | Rejoin after disconnect | | `newbedwars.bw.spectate` | true | Spectate arenas | | `newbedwars.bw.lang` | true | Change language | | `newbedwars.bw.help` | true | View help menu | | `newbedwars.party` | true | Use all `/party` commands | Set `RequireJoinPermission: true` or `RequireLobbyPermission: true` in `config.yml` if you want `/bw join` and `/bw lobby` restricted to players with the explicit permission.
