BedWars basics
Map Elderwood, 4 teams × 2 (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow). Destroy the other teams’ beds, protect yours, be the last team standing.
Waiting lobby
- At least 2 players start a 30 s countdown; with 4 players it drops to 15 s, with 8 (full) to 5 s.
- Pick a team with the wool (right-click), your stats with the book. Players without a pick are spread over the emptiest teams.
Core rules
- While your bed stands you respawn after 5 seconds. Once it is destroyed, your next death is final.
- A kill gives the killer all of the victim’s iron, gold, diamonds and emeralds.
- On respawn you keep your armor (permanent) and get a wooden sword; pickaxe and axe drop one tier.
- Explosions only break blocks placed by players. Glass and obsidian are blast-proof; end stone resists fireballs. TNT ignites when placed (2.6 s fuse) and deals 25% damage to yourself, 55% to others.
- Generators cannot be covered with blocks.
- A team whose players are all offline loses after 2 minutes (immediately without a bed).
Generators
| Generator | Tier I | Tier II | Tier III | Max. on ground |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Iron (island) | every 1.1 s | – | – | 48 |
| Gold (island) | every 6 s | – | – | 12 |
| Emerald (island, Elven Forge III) | every 60 s | – | – | 3 |
| Diamond (4 side islands) | 30 s | 23 s | 15 s | 4 |
| Emerald (centre) | 65 s | 50 s | 35 s | 2 |
The Elven Forge speeds up your island’s iron and gold: I ×1.5, II ×2, III ×2 + emeralds, IV ×3.
Game phases
| Time | Event |
|---|---|
| 5:00 | Diamond generators → tier II |
| 10:00 | Emerald generators → tier II |
| 15:00 | Diamond generators → tier III |
| 20:00 | Emerald generators → tier III |
| 25:00 | All beds are destroyed – every death is final |
| 30:00 | Sudden Death: the world border shrinks from 210 to 26 blocks over 5 minutes (2 damage outside), all players glow |
| 40:00 | Game end: the team with the most living players wins; a tie is a draw |

Strategy
- Opening: wool + stone sword, then cover the bed (wool → end stone → glass layer).
- One player farms iron/gold and buys upgrades, the other takes a diamond island early – tier II diamonds arrive at 5:00.
- Chain armor (24 iron) early is cheap and permanent.
- Hunt players who carry resources – every kill transfers their whole stack.
- Before 25:00 have diamond armor or Reinforced Armor II+ ready; after that nobody respawns.
