BedlamCore

BedlamCore is an original, GUI-first Bed Wars minigame for Spigot and Paper. It targets one jar from Minecraft 1.8.8 through 26.2 without NMS.

Build

.\gradlew.bat clean check build

The jar is written to build/libs/BedlamCore-0.3.0.jar.

Configure without commands

1. Join as an operator. One contextual Bedlam Setup compass is placed in slot 9; the old menu star is removed. In the lobby it opens network/world setup, and inside a game world it opens that world's draft or saved setup.
2. Choose Lobby Setup to set the join spawn and place the Solo and Doubles NPCs. Right-click a block with the supplied armor stand to place an NPC; shift-left-click it to cycle its entity type. Choose Apply to save or Cancel to discard the draft.
3. Choose Game World Setup to create a Solo or Doubles world, view every arena, teleport to one, edit it, or delete it after confirmation.
4. Entering an existing game world opens its setup for administrators. New and incomplete setups print every missing field in chat.
5. Configure the temporary waiting structure spawn, spectator spawn, teams, beds, forges, shops, and diamond/emerald generators. The glass waiting structure is built automatically and restored when the match starts. Changes remain drafts until Apply; Cancel discards them and removes a newly-created draft world. Apply is blocked until every required field is complete, saves the world, and returns the operator to the lobby.
6. Players use an NPC or the menu for quick join or a list of waiting games. Admins may run /bedlam forcestart inside a waiting arena with one player for testing.

Shift-left-click a lobby NPC to choose its mob type, adult/baby state, and whether it looks at players (OFF by default). Human Player uses a real fake-player NPC when a compatible Citizens build is installed; otherwise it falls back to a human-shaped armor stand with the selected player head. Enter a Minecraft username or paste the direct https://textures.minecraft.net/texture/... link shown by Minecraft-Heads.

/bedlam menu, solo, doubles, leave, forcestart, and reload remain as recovery and console-friendly fallbacks.

config.yml controls lobby-on-join teleporting, world/chat/tab isolation, team chat prefixes and suffix, mode minimum-player counts, and scoreboard footer text.

Local compatibility servers

Run servers/setup.ps1 once. It downloads official Paper jars, copies BedlamCore, installs the version-matched Citizens builds used for real player NPC testing, accepts the local test EULA, and creates two isolated servers. Pass -SkipCitizens to test BedlamCore's built-in NPC fallback instead.

• servers/legacy-1.8.8 on port 25565
• servers/current-26.2 on port 25566

Each folder receives a start.bat. Paper 1.8.8 needs Java 8; Paper 26.2 needs Java 25. The setup script can use JAVA8_HOME and JAVA25_HOME when those runtimes are not your default. Both generated test servers use online-mode=true.
