BedwarsEventHoster

Make sure Bedwars2023 is installed, or else this plugin wont work!

A BedWars2023 addon that turns two teams into a staged matchup — first-to or best-of — without anyone re-queuing or re-picking teams between games. You set the rosters once, start the event, and the plugin moves players in and out of arenas, keeps the score, and stops when someone hits the winning number.

Built for tournament nights, scrims, and stream events where the server only needs to run one match at a time and it needs to run cleanly.

Requirements

Minecraft	1.21.x
Java	17+
BedWars2023	5.0.0 (required)
PlaceholderAPI	2.11.6+ (optional)

Drop the jar in plugins/, start the server once so the config generates, then edit plugins/BedwarsEventHoster/config.yml if you want different messages, countdowns, or team colors.

How it works

1. Create your teams and fill the rosters:

/bwevent team create team1
/bwevent team create team2

/bwevent team addplayer team1 aritive
/bwevent team addplayer team1 rukiamc

1. Define the matchup:

/bwevent match first-to 3 team1 vs team2

1. Start it:

/bwevent start

Everyone gets the announcement, a countdown runs, and both teams get pulled into an arena with their rosters already locked in. When a game ends the score is announced, players are sent back for the next one, and this repeats until a team reaches the winning number — then the event winner and full stats are posted.

Only one event runs at a time. While one is live, regular players can't join the event's arena and event players can't leave mid-game. If a match can't start because someone is offline, the plugin waits (with warnings) and aborts cleanly if they don't show.

Disconnect handling

This is the part that usually breaks events, so it's handled:

• Last player on a team disconnects mid-game — the match keeps going. If their bed is still standing they can rejoin and keep playing; if it got destroyed while they were gone, they're moved to spectators and the game resolves normally.
• Someone leaves during a lobby wait — the game countdown pauses until they're back, so nobody starts a man down.
• Player goes missing entirely — after a configurable wait (missing-player-wait, default 300s) with warnings at 2m/1m/30s, the event stops and everyone goes back to the lobby instead of hanging forever.
• Voluntary leaves are blocked — the leave item, /leave, and the leave GUI don't work mid-event.

Placeholders

Register through PlaceholderAPI (identifier bwevent):

Placeholder	Value
%bwevent_current_score%	Current score, e.g. 2-1
%bwevent_game%	Current game number
%bwevent_status%	Matchup type, e.g. first-to 3
%bwevent_team1% / %bwevent_team2%	Team names
%bwevent_team1_score% / %bwevent_team2_score%	Individual scores
%bwevent_player_team%	The viewer's event team
%bwevent_state%	Internal event state

All of them show None when no event is running. Throw them on your scoreboard or tab so players can follow the series.

Configuration

Everything players see lives in config.yml — messages, countdowns, team colors, and a missing-player-wait timeout. There's also an after-game-start-commands list that fires console or player commands each time a game actually starts:

after-game-start-commands:
  - "<console-command>say Game %game_number%: %team1% vs %team2%"
  - "<player-command>say gl!"
