🕌Arena Creation
BedWars
Creating and Selecting the Arena
Upload a map to your server, join that world, and start the arena setup with:
/bw setupArena <worldName>
Use the folder name of the world as <worldName>.
A GUI will appear, allowing you to choose between Assisted and Advanced setup modes.
Assisted: easier and faster, recommended for most users
Advanced: more commands, more control, but takes longer
Choose Assisted and continue with this tutorial.
Setting the Waiting Lobby & Teams
Set the waiting lobby (where players spawn when they join the arena) with:
/bw setWaitingSpawn
The plugin will now scan the current map for team islands based on colors.
If you are happy with the detected teams, simply click the chat message to auto-create them.
If not, you can create teams manually with:
/bw createTeam <name> <color>
Example:
/bw createTeam Tutorial Blue
Your location does not matter when running this command.
Use /bw createTeam to see a list of available colors. The number of teams is unlimited.
(Optional) Defining a Removable Waiting Lobby Region
If you want the waiting lobby area to disappear when the game starts, select it like a WorldGuard region using:
Stand at the top-right corner and type:
/bw waitingPos 1Stand at the bottom-left corner and type:
/bw waitingPos 2
This defines the region that can be removed when the match begins.
Setting Team Spawnpoints
Go to each team’s island and set the team spawnpoint with:
/bw setSpawn
Do not specify a team name – the plugin will automatically detect which team the island belongs to.
Setting Shop NPCs
On each island, stand where you want the shop NPC to appear and use:
/bw setShop
Again, do not provide a team name – the plugin will auto-detect the correct team.
Setting Upgrade NPCs
On each island, stand where you want the upgrade NPC to appear and use:
/bw setUpgrade
No team name is needed; the plugin will automatically assign it to the right team.
Setting Iron & Gold Generators
Now set the iron and gold generators for each team:
If you want iron and gold at the same location, go to each island and type:
/bw addGeneratorIf you want separate locations for iron and gold, use:
/bw addGenerator iron/bw addGenerator gold
Run these on each island at the desired generator locations.
Setting Diamond & Emerald Generators
For diamond and emerald generators (usually mid or special islands), use:
/bw addGenerator diamond– to create a diamond generator/bw addGenerator emerald– to create an emerald generator
Run these commands at every place you want one of these generators.
Saving the Arena
When you are done with the setup, save the arena and exit setup mode with:
/bw save
This will store all your settings for the current map.
Enabling the Arena
To make the new map playable, enable it with:
/bw enableArena <mapName>
Use the arena name you created earlier as <mapName>.
