ScreamingBedWars Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I create my first arena?
Use `/bw admin add` to create a new arena, then set the two corner points with `/bw admin pos1` and `/bw admin pos2` while standing at opposite corners of your arena space. After that, set the lobby spawn with `/bw admin lobby` and spectator position with `/bw admin spec`.
How do I add teams to my arena?
Use `/bw admin team add ` to create a team, then set each team's spawn point with `/bw admin team spawn ` and bed location with `/bw admin team bed ` while targeting the bed block.
What's the difference between breakable and ignored blocks?
Breakable blocks can be destroyed by players during the game and will respawn when the arena rebuilds; ignored blocks are permanent and cannot be broken. You configure which blocks fall into each category in the config.yml file.
How do resource spawners work?
Add spawners with `/bw admin spawner add ` at your position—you can set them to be team-specific or shared, control how many resources spawn at once, and optionally display a hologram above them. Each spawner type generates its corresponding resource at configurable intervals.
Can I run this on BungeeCord?
Yes, the plugin has built-in BungeeCord support, allowing players to join arenas across multiple servers. You'll need to configure BungeeCord settings in the config.yml to enable cross-server play.
How do I set up the shop?
The plugin supports multiple shops per arena configured through the config.yml file, where you can define items, prices, and special items like RescuePlatform or TNTSheep. You can also add shop items directly through admin commands for quick adjustments.
What happens if a player joins while a game is running?
Players can join as spectators and watch the ongoing game from the spectator position you set with `/bw admin spec`. They can also use `/bw rejoin` to automatically enter the next game in that arena.
How do I check if my arena is set up correctly?
Use `/bw admin info` to see all configuration details for that arena, or use `/bw dump` to generate a detailed report you can share on the support Discord if something isn't working.
Can I customize how long the game lasts?
Yes, use `/bw admin time ` to set the total game duration and `/bw admin pausecountdown ` to set how long players wait in the lobby before the game starts.
Do I need to restart the server to apply config changes?
No, use `/bw reload` to reload the plugin and apply changes from config.yml without restarting your server. Changes made through admin commands take effect immediately.
