`
- Added new configuration option
. This triggers resource spawn for all spawners right when the game starts. Default is false.Added new config option specials.tnt-sheep.damage to control the tnt damage of TNT Sheep. You can also use the damage property variable on the item in the shop. Default is whatever specials.auto-igniteable-tnt.damage is currently set, default of that is 4.0.Custom sounds can now be played. Custom sounds must contain a namespace (like modname:sound) in order to be considered custom sounds. If the namespace cannot be specified (the server version is 1.8), prefix the sound name with ;`.- Fixes:**
- Fixed Warp Powder cloning exploit.
- Fixed Spectator Teleportation exploit.
- Fixed handling of water and waterlogged blocks during rebuild.
- Fixed player respawn countdown being off by 1 second.
- Fixed colors for newly created teams being mislabeled as old 0.2.1 colors in the arena file which caused accidental migration for certain colors.
- Changes in 0.2.43.1 (not released on Modrinth, but the changes are included in this new release):
It is recommended to rely on YAML shops as Groovy shops are no longer developed.*

- Additions:**
- 26.1.x support
- Dynamic lobby countdown**
- If certain number of players joins the game, the countdown resets to a specified number of seconds to potentially speed up the game start for more populated lobbies.
/bw admin <arena> pausecountdown <seconds> [players:seconds,players:seconds,...], eg./bw admin test pausecoundown 60 4:30,8:15means the regular lobby countdown is 60, if 4 or more players join the countdown is 30 seconds and if 8 or more join then the countdown is only 15 seconds.- Added new config option
bungee.rejoin-players-after-game(default:false). If this option is set to true, players will not be send back to the hub server when the game ends but immediatelly joined back to the lobby for another round. - Each shop file can now contain its own settings:
yaml
options:
rows: 4
render-actual-rows: 6
render-offset: 9
render-header-start: 0
render-footer-start: 45
items-on-row: 9
show-page-numbers: true
inventory-type: CHEST
...

is now defined as soft dependency like other multiworld plugins, making sure it loads before BedWars.
- Changes:**
bungee.serverRestart now defaults to falseThe plugin now prints a warning in the console if the Java version is less than 17 as BedWars 0.3.x will most likely require Java 17. Previously, this warning was shown to anyone on Java below 11. now also upload sbaconfig.yml` if SBA is installed- Fixes:**
- Fixed leaving bedwars game being processed twice if the mainlobby is set and enabled.
- Fixed tablist shows {"text":""} in header/footer upon leaving bw game with built-in tab enabled.

- Lobby boundaries can be set using commands
/bw admin <arena> lobbypos1and/bw admin <arena> lobbypos2 - Variable
invisible-lobby-on-game-startneeds to be enabled inconfig.ymlor using in-game configuration commands. - New API methods for this feature were added to the Game class:
getLobbyPos1(),getLobbyPos2(),getInvisibleLobbyOnGameStart()andgetOriginalOrInheritedHideLobbyAfterGameStart(). - Current game countdown is now directly exposed in the API without the need to use placeholders or plugin internals:
getCountdown() - Added command
/bw dumplogs, which dumps the latest.log file using mclo.gs. - Health and MaxHealth attributes are now restored to the previous values after the game rather than just setting it to the default value.
- Fixes:**

- Additions:**
- 1.21.8 support**
- Added a new option:
disable-waterlogging-of-original-blocks. When enabled, players will be prevented from waterlogging protected blocks. - Introduced a fallback mechanism for unsupported environments. If the plugin detects a Minecraft version newer than the latest one it officially supports, it will attempt to use the most recent known NMS mappings. While this is not guaranteed to make the plugin work, it may succeed for minor updates or hotfixes (e.g., 1.21.7 or 1.21.8).
- Exposed spectator state to the API with a new method:
Game#isSpectator(Player)

- Additions:**
- 1.21.7 support
- Linking stores to specific teams
- The command for adding store now supports specifying a team. The format is now
/bw admin <arena> store add [name above dealer head] [file with shop] [team name] [use main shop], the new argument is optional. The old command variant (/bw admin <arena> store add [name above dealer head] [file with shop] [use main shop]) can still be used. - Added new option
disable-opening-stores-of-other-teams(default:false) toconfig.yml - If
true, players cannot open stores linked to an enemy team. - Team linkage is exposed in the API for use in addons.
- Shop open API introduced in the previous version has been expanded with
tryOpenStore,tryOpenDefaultStoreandtryOpenCustomStoremethods, which calls theBedwarsOpenShopEventand thus provide support for addons manipulating with or replacing the shop system. Use of these new methods is now preferred overopenDefaultStoreandopenCustomStore. - Updated translations:

disable-locator-bars-in-arena-worldsinconfig.yml. - Added ability for API users to easily open a default or custom store. The added methods are
openDefaultStoreandopenCustomStoreon theBedwarsAPIobject. - While these may also work for players who are not in any game, the behavior can be undefined in certain cases and it is generally not recommended to use these methods this way.

- Additions:**
- 1.21.1** support
- New **reward** events were added to config.yml. Those are not necessarily rewards, but the name of the section in
config.ymlhas been kept. player-game-start- Runs for each player when the game starts.player-early-leave- Runs for each player who leaves before the game ends.team-win- Runs once for the winning team at the end of the game.player-team-win- Runs for each member of the winning team at the end of the game. This is similar toplayer-win, however the new placeholder runs for all team members, even if these players have already left the game or were killed.game-start- Runs once when the game starts.- Additionally, commands defined in rewards now accept new variables:
{playerUuid},{game},{team}and{death}(returnstrue/false). Whether or not they are available depends on the context. For example,game-startprovides{game}, but not{player}or{playerUuid}.
- Changes:**
- Support for version 1.20.3 has been removed. This should not affect anyone since this release has been replaced by 1.20.4 just in 2 days after its release, and most server software (including Paper) is not available for 1.20.3.

- Additions and changes:**
- Added 1.21 support.**
- Note: The Spigot team has promised to introduce possibly breaking changes to the Bukkit API before considering 1.21 stable. While this may not affect this plugin, there's a chance that we will have to provide a hotfix release.*
- If a bedwars admin attempts to create two overlapping arenas using
/bw admin <arena> pos1and/bw admin <arena> pos2commands, an error message is displayed instead of saving the coordinates. Overlapping arenas are not supported and breaks certain features of the plugin. - New placeholders have been added:

In the previous update, we introduced a new feature: the custom database driver loading. Unfortunately, due to an oversight on our part, this feature was broken, and we failed to catch this problem in time. So here is a hotfix version with actually working custom database driver loading ;)

[0.2.32] ScreamingBedWars 0.2.32
by Misat11 on Oct 13, 2026
Download
- Additions and changes:**
- Added 1.20.6 support**
- The plugin now also supports Mojang-mapped platforms (like Paper and its forks) alongside with Spigot-mapped platforms. Paper's Remapper is not required for this plugin to work on Paper.
- Note: version 1.20.5 is not supported, and the support for version 1.20.0 has been dropped. The primary reason is that these updates were hotfixed by another one pretty quickly, and the way spigot handled it breaks our internal tooling*
- API changes
- Two new events have been introduced:
BedWarsGameEnabledEventandBedWarsGameDisabledEvent. Those events are called when the game is enabled/disabled (switched to/from the edit mode). - Database connection
- The configuration section for database has been improved, allowing for custom JDBC drivers to be passed, and possibly more database servers to be supported (although only MySQL and MariaDB are officially supported).
- The section now looks like this. The new fields are described below the example configuration.
yaml
database:
host: localhost
port: 3306
db: database
user: root
password: secret
table-prefix: bw_
type: mysql # see 1
driver: default # see 2
params: # see 3
useSSL: false # replaces database.useSSL
serverTimezone: Europe/Prague # replaces database.timezone-id and database.add-timezone-to-connection-string
autoReconnect: true
cachePrepStmts: true
prepStmtCacheSize: 250
prepStmtCacheSqlLimit: 2048
`
1. This new field is for database type, the default value is mysql (works with both MySQL and MariaDB)
2. This new field contains either default for getting the driver from JDBC or a path to the custom JDBC4-compatible database driver. The path is relative to the plugin's directory.
3. This new field allows you to pass any custom parameters to JDBC, refer to the documentation of the respective driver/database software
- New placeholders have been added!**

Simply put the amount of outputted resource before the resource name like in price. For example: `yaml
- price: 1 gold
currency-changer: 7 iron
stack: iron_ingot;7
`
- Defining
and execute together is now supported, and works as excepted: a player has to pay the price to run the specific command. If you need to use console commands, new option shop.allow-execution-of-console-commands needs to be enabled (which is by default).New config option has been added called bungee.random-game-selection.preselect-games, which randomly preselects the next game when the server starts or when the game has just ended (the old behaviour is to select the game with the first player). The existing option bungee.select-random-game has been migrated to bungee.random-game-selection.enabled.The default value for option preventArenaFromGriefing has been changed to true. Existing setups are not affected. With this feature enabled, anyone including admins can build in the arena only when playing or when the arena is in edit mode.Updated translations Some languages have been updated and I'd like to thanks to Kinoko_2K for updating Japanese and to its0y for updating Portuguese and Portuguese (Brazil). With this update, we have also updated Czech translations.

- Fixed issues with persisting statistics to YAML. Improved the error logging mechanism.
- Fixed accidental replacement of
spyglass with <color>_stained_glass in shop when autocoloring is enabled.Fixed [#532](https://github.com/ScreamingSandals/BedWars/issues/532) Fixed spawner-disable-merge` config option being unfunctional on 1.8.8

- Changes:**
- Added 1.20.3/4 support
- Added new config options to deal with database timezone issues. Because ScreamingBedWars does not save timestamps yet to the database, these new config options are useful only when a timezone-related error prevents you from using the database.
database.add-timezone-to-connection-string, whether the timezone-id should be sent to the database serverdatabase.timezone-id, defaults to the timezone of the machine- Fixed possible NPE during game start when invalid sign.yml file is loaded.
- Added error logging when the plugin is not able to read statistics of a specific player from the YAML file
- Fixed players seeing outdated statistics on holograms and leaderboards when using MySQL database with Bungee/Velocity network.

[0.2.30] ScreamingBedWars 0.2.30
by Misat11 on Oct 13, 2026
Download
- Additions and changes:**
- Minecraft 1.20.2 support.
- Since this version, our plugin now uses Takenaka instead of NMS Mapper to generate reflective NMS accessors. This means that bugs may occur. While this is unlikely to happen, be careful when updating to this version and do local testing.
- A new command
/bw cheatIn <game> <cheat> <params...>has been added. This command is similar to/bw cheat. However, it can be used from console and by admins not in that specific game. Currently supports these cheats:give,kill,destroybedanddestroyallbeds. - A new option to
config.ymlhas been added. This option is calledbreakable.explosionsand if set totrue, explosions will be able to destroy arena blocks listed in breakable. - Chunk tickets support has been added. Can be enabled by setting option
use-chunk-tickets-if-availabletotrue. If the server supports them, BedWars will try to get chunk ticket for every chunk in the arena, limiting possible chunk unloading problems. If any problems related to this persists, we recommend using chunk tickets manually using/forceloadcommand and also checking all plugins on the server. %countdown%placeholder can now be used in the text of lobby scoreboard.- If the server is in bungee mode and has multiple arenas, you can enable
bungee.select-random-gameto randomly select an arena when the first player joins the server. - Until this version, spawners continued to countdown even if the spawners were full. Enabling
reset-full-spawner-countdown-after-pickingwill stop the timer if the spawner is full. - You can now use
players-can-win-game-only-after-secondsoption to limit instant win exploits. If the game ends earlier than the specified value, everyone lose without any exception. - Updated SimpleInventories to 1.0.6.9 to supports custom potion effects in shop.yml without using bukkit item meta format.
yaml
stack:
type: potion
effects:
effect: blindness
amplifier: 2
duration: 100
ambient: true
particles: true
icon: true
`
- Updated default shop to use Mojang names instead of Bukkit names. As of now, this does not affect current setups, yet Bukkit names in our configuration files are now deprecated in favor of official names. While it is completely redundant, types can now be prefixed with
- Fixes:**
- Fixed if two players open the team selector gui at the same time, the second player cannot use the gui if the first player has interacted with it.
- Fixed/limited flickering of the in-game scoreboard.
- Fixed fireballs being able to destroy blocks outside of the arena.
- Fixed [#503](https://github.com/screamingsandals/bedwars/issues/503)
- Fixed papi hook disappears after /papi reload.
- Fixed possible NPE in shop handling if an addon replaces the shopkeeper.

- Additions:**
- 1.20 support
- New config option: *remember-what-scoreboards-players-had-before* (default: false)
- This option should be used only if you have another plugin providing global scoreboards and people stop seeing these scoreboards after the bedwars game.
- New config options: *kick-players-upon-final-death.enabled* (default: false) and *kick-players-upon-final-death.delay* (default: 5)
- These options allow you to kick player from the game if he dies without bed and you don't want him to spectate the game.
- Added support for doors as target blocks. *Yeah, I'm not kidding. Doors are better than beds anyways /s*
- Fixes:**
- Fixed possible error when spectator dies.
- Fixed standing_on mode while creating the bed worked incorrectly.

### Additions:
### Changes:
### Fixes:
- 1.19.4 support
- A new config option regarding this has been added: prefer-1-19-4-display-entities, if this option is enabled (which is by default) and the server is 1.19.4 and newer, the new text display entities are used instead of armor stands for non-clickable holograms. This means players in spectator mode no longer see semi-transparent armor stands. As of now, clickable holograms *(statistics holograms, they are clickable because of the /bw removeholo command)* still use the armor stand based holograms.
- A new option rewards.player-win-run-immediately has been added. This option works the same as rewards.player-win; however, the commands specified in the new config option are run immediately when the winner is known, not during teleporting/rebuilding process.
### Changes:
- /bw dump command now accept a service which will be used to upload the final dump. As of now, there are two supported services:
- paste.gg - This is the default one and it was used before this update as well. In order to use this service, you don't have to type any extra arguments.
- pastes.dev - In order to use this service, you have to type the following command: /bw dump pastes.dev
- Updated translations
- TheHolyFire - German
- Kinoko_2K - Japanese
- WitheredWinter, WYCyangch566 - Chinese (Simplified)

### Fixes:
- Fixed error 404 while downloading Groovy Runtime if
- Wrong usage of replaceAll methods in the code have been fixed. This could cause some config strings being handled differently if they contained specific characters. Now this is no longer an issue.

- Fixed placeholders handled spectators wrongly if they were just players waiting for respawn.
- Fixed GLASS_PANE material could not be automatically colored.
