New Bedwars

[2.4-beta] - 22.10.2026

Added

• Configurable iron golem lifetime - Iron golems now despawn after a configurable time period (default: 120 seconds, configurable via IronGolemLifetime in config.yml)
• Iron golem spawn limit per team - Teams can now only have one active iron golem at a time by default (configurable via AllowMultipleGolems gamerule, default: false)
• Spectate selection GUI for /bw spectate - Typing /bw spectate without an arena name now opens a GUI showing all enabled arenas, including those that cannot be spectated (grayed out)
• Arena info GUI - /bw arena gui shows a visual multi-page GUI with arena settings, team details, and generator counts while in setup mode
• Advanced setup mode - New setup mode that provides access to gamerules, resource packs, custom GUIs, and generator leveling configuration
• /bw setupMode command - Reopens the setup mode selection GUI at any time during setup to switch between normal and advanced modes
• Team accessories location - /bw teamAccessories <team> [<x> <y> <z>] sets a team-specific accessories location (available in advanced setup) (For now does nothing)
