Bedwars

Bedwars is a minigame in Junon.io. It was released on November 28, 2020 for update v0.4.3.alpha. Four players collect iron and meteorite from mining drills, buy items from Trader, destroy other players and their beds while trying to protect their own beds.

## Mechanics

### Upon Spawning

In the beginning of the game, players will spawn at a beacon in the waiting room, at the upper-right corner of the map. Players will not be able to begin the game until exactly four players have joined the game, with additional players not possible due to the layout of the game. The room is almost perfectly symmetrical and highly decorated, with two security monitors in the center of the room to view the bases on the map. Players, when not viewing the bases, can chat or move around the small area. When four players have joined the game, a five second timer counts down. At the end of this timer, all players will spawn at one of the four bases, and a ten-minute-timer will start counting down.

### Bases and Traders

There are four bases that a player can spawn at, all nearly identical to each other with the exception of how they are colored. Each base corresponds to a different team. The teams are: Blue Team, Green Team, Black Team, and White Team. Each base contains (in addition to decorative items), two Fuel Tanks (to refill Flame Thrower) one bed, one Trader, and one Mining Drill that mines iron. This iron can be used to purchase items from trader. All players spawn with the following items in their inventory: 20 tiled floors, (?). These items can be sold to Trader or used to play. The Trader sells a variety of items, one located at each base. The items and prices are:

* Tiled Floor (1 iron ore)
* Wall (5 iron ore)
* Sealed Door (50 iron ore)
* Stun Baton (10 iron ore)
* Lead Pipe (20 iron ore)
* Katana (50 iron ore)
* Red Energy Sword (75 meteorite)
* Grenade (50 iron ore)
* Poison Grenade (7 meteorite)
* Combat Armor (50 meteorite)
* Assault Rifle (75 iron ore)
* Rifle Ammo (1 iron ore)
* Shotgun (20 meteorite)
* Shotgun Shell (2 iron ore)
* Pistol (25 iron ore)
* Bullet Ammo (1 iron ore)
* Flame Thrower (50 meteorite)
* Potato (15 iron ore)
* First Aid Kit (3 meteorite)
* Antidote (25 iron ore)
* Stimpack (50 iron ore)
* Spike Trap (25 iron ore)
* Web Trap (25 iron ore)
* Meteorite (5 iron ore)
* Fire Extinguisher (20 iron ore)
* Timer Bomb (25 iron ore)
* Mini Turret (75 iron ore)
* Missile Turret (50 meteorite)
* Missile (30 iron ore)
* Spider (5 meteorite)

### Mining Drills

There are five other 'islands' on the map. Four of them have one mining drill that mines iron, and the center 'island' has four mining drills that mine meteorite ore. Meteorite ore can buy many crucial items, so it is necessary for players to be able to get to the area to collect the ores. The only way for players to get to the drills is to use the 20 floors they spawn with, as well as buying more from Trader. It takes 40 floors to get to the center (if a player first builds to one of the side 'islands', they will have to buy 20 more floor from Trader).

### Sudden Death Mode

If all of the beds but one have been destroyed by the time the ten-minute-timer goes off, the player whose bed is still intact will win the round. If there are two or more beds left, or no beds, the game will go into sudden death mode. If a player dies during sudden death mode, they will not be able to respawn (similar to what happens if a player's bed is destroyed and then they die), and they will lose the game. It does not matter if their bed is destroyed or not, because they will die anyway.

## Gameplay

### Starting the Game

One of the most important things that players can do in the game is making sure that they have enough ores to be able to buy materials. Players need meteorite ore to buy many important items, so floors should be crafted at the very start of the game. Wait until 20 iron ore have spawned in the Mining Drill, then purchase 20 floors and build to one of the side 'islands'. Collect the iron from the corresponding drill and build to the center. Collect meteorite from all drills and head back to the Trader. Keep in mind that any player can use the floors to access each other's bases (and beds), so it is a good strategy to pick up the floors when heading back. Since the floors hover over the lava, they cannot be recollected, so new floors will have to be built.

### Defense

Once players have collected enough ores, they have the options to build structures to protect their beds and themselves, or to go around and break other player's structures. Many different kinds of defenses can be built, as there are a variety of materials to choose from. One strategy is to place lots of Web Traps and turrets. When players walk over the traps, they will get stuck, and the turrets will be able to freely shoot at them. Another strategy is to place lots of walls and sealed doors to create a barrier that is hard to break through. Defense is not limited to bases, however. Players must make sure to have enough healing items (especially if enemies have long-range weapons), and consider buying Combat Armor for extra defense. Grenades can be a good defense if players are chasing each other across thin strips of Tiled Floors, because enemy players will either have to run through the grenade's effects or turn back.

### Offense

All players should have an energy sword or katana in their inventory, as they are useful for PvP and for breaking through other player's structures. When fighting other players, long-range weapons such as the Assault Rifle and Pistol are ideal, because the format of the game allows players to retreat quickly, and these weapons can prevent enemy players from going out of range. If an enemy base has too many turrets to easily avoid, it is advised to quickly run and attack a turret before it fires, then retreat out of range. Of course, make sure to have plenty of healing items.
