◆ OVERVIEW ◆

NewBedwars is a modern, fully configurable Bedwars plugin built from the ground up for Paper 1.17+. It delivers the classic Bedwars experience with a powerful in-game setup system, YAML-driven GUIs, multi-arena support, and deep gamerule control — all without requiring any additional plugin dependencies.

Whether you're running a small survival server looking to add a Bedwars minigame, or building a dedicated Bedwars network, NewBedwars gives you the tools to create polished, production-ready arenas with minimal configuration effort.

⚠ This is a beta release. Core gameplay is stable and feature-complete. Please report any issues via the GitHub issue tracker.
