Bedwars

## General Info

   Bedwars is one of the oldest and most popular minigames on the LibraryCraft server. Bedwars is a modified version of the highly popular CTF minigame where you battle other players, and destroy their beds to prevent their respawn.

The original lobby for Bedwars was on an island in the Spawn world, accessed from the Warp Ship. After the server network overhaul, the windmill of the original Bedwars Island from Spawn was moved to a place in the Minigames Lobby.

There have been a few instances of glitches and lost inventories in Bedwars (when players leave the server during a game) but all minigames suffer these, and they are almost always quickly fixed.

In addition to being one of the oldest games on the server that still exists today, Bedwars is also likely to be the most popular. Ask any player and almost all of them would have played it at least once during their time on the server. Bedwars has even been used by players to play makeshift games of Hide and Seek, and practice PVP!

## Maps

Over the course of the minigame's existence on the server, a fair few maps have come and gone. The original Bedwars map was Desert. Soon after this the Forest map was added and after that the Winter map was added. The Winter map was unique, as it was the first player made map, created by Cram, Noodles and another player. (Keep in mind this was before the Project system existed!) Some time after mid-2020 the Desert and Winter maps were removed.

Later in 2021, with the introduction of the new Project system and worlds, a group of players including Vinemon, Jish, Itch and SpeedCat998 worked together to create a new Bedwars map for the server, Temple. Temple was a particularly large map, and even had a chest with a Netherite Axe in the middle of the map, but this was later removed after being abused. Not very long after this, the Temple map was removed altogether.

With Forest being the only Bedwars map, some players complained about how easy it was to rush and gather resources on its reasonably small map. So due to the complaints John went and found a larger, more expansive map called Castle. Easily the biggest Bedwars map on the server. Castle still exists as of writing today, along with Forest.

In November 2022, a 3rd bedwars map was opened, called "Sakura" - created by players qbio and lielahh. It is Japanese themed and holds 16 players in 4 teams.

## Tournaments

On December 9th, 2020, a school holiday Bedwars tournament was announced. These tournaments would continue every school holidays and still happen as of writing. In the July 2022 school holidays, due to the moderator team being very busy, there was a special tournament, This tournament was run completely by the players. Under CountDoDo, qetzi, and cramskii, the tournament functioned normally and was a success.

The tournaments run in two periods, a period of about a week for registering, and then normally another week and a bit for playing the tournament. There is often only one tournament, but in some cases there can be multiple, usually a solo and duo tournament. Tournaments can also be single or double elimination, and the Tournament website is used for brackets.

Organization of the tournament swaps from John to LightKLibrary each tournament and then back to John the next tournament, except in special cases like the player-run tournament. (see paragraph above) During tournaments, players are required to schedule their matches after the brackets are released and then report the results of their match to the respective organizer. The organizer then updates the brackets and the next match is played, until someone wins the Grand Final. The winner of the tournament often receives a prize, which has ranged from in-game money to diamond blocks. The player SuperHeroFlash is very famous among the server for winning tournaments, they also have the highest Bedwars score on the server by far.

## LC League and Leaderboards

Along with the school holidays tournaments, Bedwars is also a minigame that is a part of the LC League. Matches in the LC League are played on both Castle and Forest. In the Minigames Lobby, the LC League island contains the League leaderboards and the actual island itself is a copy of the yellow island from the Forest Bedwars map.

Also in the Minigames Lobby is the Bedwars leaderboard. Located outside the Bedwars windmill there is a large hologram leaderboard that shows the top players scores from Bedwars games. (Not LC League, just normal Bedwars games)
