BedlamCore

bedwars that feels finished — GUI-first setup, one jar from Spigot 1.8.8 to Paper 26.2. 100% free, no license key.

Solo · Doubles · Trios · Quads  ·  Compass-driven setup  ·  148 cosmetics  ·  10 leaderboards  ·  YAML / SQLite / MySQL

Active beta — every release is tested on Spigot/Paper 1.8.8 → 26.2, but you may still hit rough edges. Found a bug? Report it on GitHub Issues and our team ready to get it fixed.

Build your lobby and arenas with a hotbar compass, players queue on NPCs, and matches run with a lobby scoreboard, item shop, team forge, upgrades and traps, cosmetics, and an optional end-game dragon phase. One jar runs Solo, Doubles, Trios, and Quads across every supported version. Set it up in-game — there is no config file to hand-edit before you can play, and no license key to buy or activate.

Independent project. Not affiliated with Hypixel, Mojang, or Microsoft.

Game modes

• Solo — 1 player per team
• Doubles — 2 per team
• Trios — 6 teams of 3
• Quads — 8 teams of 4

Each mode has its own queue NPCs, quick-join, per-mode stats, and leaderboard tabs.

In-game setup — no config editing

• Hotbar compass opens Lobby Setup and Game World Setup
• Transactional drafts — Apply writes to disk, Cancel discards
• Create a Solo / Doubles / Trios / Quads void world, use a bundled template, or Import Map a folder world
• Place spawns, beds, forges, shops, chests, and diamond/emerald generators in-world
• A pristine world snapshot is restored between matches

Bundled templates: bedwars-e2560 and Chained (a 4-island map, playable as Trios or Quads).

Core gameplay

• Item Shop with Quick Buy and Blocks / Melee / Armor / Ranged / Potions / Utility categories
• Upgrades and Traps GUI — Sharpened Swords, Reinforced Armor, Maniac Miner, Iron Forge, Heal Pool, Cushioned Boots, Counter-Offensive, Magic Milk
• Team forge with pooled iron and gold (levels 1–4) and rare diamond/emerald drops from level 2
• Tiered diamond and emerald generators (three tiers) with a ground-item cap
• Bridge Egg, Dream Defender, Pop-up Tower, Fireball, Ender Pearl, TNT, Magic Milk, and more
• Punch-to-deposit team chests
• Soft spectate (adventure + flight + invisibility, not SPECTATOR gamemode) so it works on 1.8
• Final Kill detection, kill feed, match rewards, a win effect, and a Play Again button
• End-game dragon phase — once every bed is gone and teams still contend, Ender Dragons spawn and hunt survivors so a bedless stalemate is forced to a finish (configurable, can be turned off)

Cosmetics — 9 categories, 148 items

Earned with tokens and equipped from the lobby Cosmetics NPC. Every cosmetic is defined in config.yml and can be renamed, repriced, or extended.

Progression, leaderboards & economy

• Tokens, XP, and levels tracked per player; tokens buy cosmetics, XP drives your level
• 10 leaderboards: Wins, Kills, Final Kills, Beds Broken, Winstreak, KDR, FKDR, Level, XP, Tokens
• Hypixel-style floating lobby board plus a /leaderboard GUI and chat rankings, with Solo/Doubles tabs
• Storage: YAML by default (nothing to set up), or SQLite / MySQL (storage.backend, drivers bundled); migrate with /bc storage migrate <sqlite|mysql>
• PlaceholderAPI support — %bedlamcore_level%, %bedlamcore_tokens%, KDR/FKDR, per-mode stats, live player counts, and more (optional)

Parties & NPCs

• Built-in party system — /party invite, queue together onto the same team, dedicated party chat (/pc); can bridge BungeeParties / Party and Friends
• Reconnect grace — your bed and team slot are held for 60s after a disconnect; return with /rejoin
• Built-in packet queue NPCs (real player models), with Citizens picked up automatically when installed — Citizens is not required
• Profile NPC (stats GUI) and Cosmetics NPC (token shop)

Setup (in-game, no config editing)

1. Drop BedlamCore-0.10.92.jar into plugins/ and start the server. No key, no config to edit.
2. Op yourself and open the hotbar compass → Lobby Setup: set the spawn, place the queue / Profile / Cosmetics NPCs, then Apply.
3. Compass → Game World Setup: create a Solo / Doubles / Trios / Quads world (or use a template / import a folder), place spawns, beds, forges, shops, chests, and generators, run /bc spawnbuild for the waiting area, then Apply.
4. Players queue on the NPCs. For solo testing use /bedlam forcestart.

Commands

Primary UX is the setup compass + lobby NPCs; commands are fallbacks and admin tools.

Requirements

• Spigot or Paper — one jar, no version-specific builds. Tested on 26.2, 1.20, 1.16, 1.12, and 1.8.8.
• Java 8 or newer (Java 8 bytecode).
• No license key, no online check — this is the free edition. It runs fully offline.
• Optional: Citizens (nicer NPC bodies), PlaceholderAPI (placeholders), MySQL (only if you choose the MySQL backend).

Free vs BedLamCore Premium

BedlamCore (this page) is free and complete — all four modes, the full match loop, 148 cosmetics, 10 leaderboards, parties, and database storage. A separate paid Premium edition adds more cosmetic categories (Glyphs, Death Cries, Island Toppers, Sprays), a larger Kill Effects set, and multi-language support (English / German / Spanish / French). Everything else is in both editions — if the free edition covers you, you never need the paid one.
