⚔ A Comprehensive Guide to Bedwars ⚔
By: CaptainX
◉ Bedwars Overview & Mode Description There are special ores that spawn from generators that will aid in your efforts. The four ores/minerals in Bedwars are iron, gold, diamonds, and emeralds. These minerals can be used in an in-game shop (the two villagers at your base). Iron and gold are the most common of these resources and will spawn at each teams' base. Diamonds spawn on individual side islands that are often fighting grounds. Emeralds spawn in the middle island that is significantly larger than all the others. Emeralds are the most rare of the minerals and so they spawn slowly compared to the other ores. Throughout the game the spawning rate of the diamonds and emeralds will speed up. To increase the spawning rate of your base's generator of iron and gold you will need to purchase and upgrade with diamonds at the store. This brings me to my next point of what each resource buys. I have made a complete list of what each ore can purchase.

Bedwars was originally one of the first Prototype Lobby games. It was officially released (v1.0) on June 29th, 2017. Since this time Bedwars has had its own leaderboards, (cosmetic) shop, and lobby. Bedwars is a game with 4 modes: Solo, Doubles, 3v3v3v3, and 4v4v4v4. Each mode varies from one another. For starters, Solo and Doubles have similar maps in island separation and ore spawning rates, but different amounts of people. In Solo you play by yourself on a map for 8 total players and in Doubles you play on a team of tw0 on a map for 16 total players. 3v3v3v3 and 4v4v4v4 are slightly different in terms of map size. These modes are on a much larger map with four teams of 3 or four teams of 4. The island separation is much larger than that of Solo or Doubles. Later in the thread I will discuss how to play and what the best strategies are to win in each gamemode.
◉ How to Play Bedwars
Bedwars is a game of offense and defense. The objective is to defend your team's bed and attempt to break other teams' beds. The bed of each team allows that team to die and respawn as many times as they want. Once a team's bed is broken if they die again they are permanently dead for that game. To win the game a decent amount of times (without luck) you will have to do some protecting and some attacking, so balance wisely!
Iron
Gold
Diamonds
Note: This is very complex system to express into a table. And so the slashes between numbers are how much it costs for the next level of the team upgrades. There are also 2 categories for Solo/Doubles and 3v3v3v/4v4v4v4.
Emeralds
Here is a timeline showing the timeline of the game from start to finish.
Note: Diamond and Emerald tier 3 continue for the rest of the game at that rate, which is why they have no end. Also, sudden death and bed destruction do not end since dragons continue to fly around until the end of the game and because the beds remain broken.

◉ Useful Strategies
There are a plethora of strategies and ways to play Bedwars on Hypixel, but I will be listing some of the main ones from what I have seen and used. I can say that all of these strategies do work and mixing some of these strategies together forms even more beneficial strategies. You have to find your "happy medium" and the strategy that fits your play style and that you are the most comfortable with.
The Rushers The Defenders The Diamond Farmers The Attackers
This is a strategy where a player or team rushes immediately for the middle to get emeralds. This strategy is the most risky because it leaves you bed unguarded, but it can also be the most rewarding. Often times a team or player will defend the middle until they have the amount of emeralds they need. Usually, these emeralds are put toward an obsidian bed defense or to diamond armor. This strategy is for a well-experienced player and someone who is good at pvp.
This is a strategy where a player or group of players stay behind at their base to defend. This strategy is often the safest, but could lead to later problems if proper minerals aren't gained. These players often build extravagant bases that offer a lot of protection for the bed. This strategy (most of the time) will prolong that team's time in the game.
This is a strategy where a player or team basically milks the diamond generator(s) like they are cows. They upgrade for their team to give them an upper edge, whether it's in pvp or in their personal generator. Most of the time these players build up their forges to spawn emeralds and so they have to rarely leave their base.
This is a strategy to immediately eliminate other players or teams. These attackers go directly to their opponents base and break their beds (or attempt to). This is another risky, but potentially rewarding strategy. These attackers will wait for you to leave your base or will kill you and in that respawning period break your bed. These players often have pickaxes, axes, tnt, swords, and other attacking materials.
Useful Bed-Defense Strategies
To give you base the ultimate protection you need to have a good defense. Most times players start off defending the bed with wood planks, endstone, sandstone, and wool (in order from best to worst). Later in the game though you will want to be secured by an obsidian defense just in case someone sneaks in or tries to blow up your protection shell. In your defense you will usually want to include both wood and a block that requires a pickaxe. This makes the attackers have to be prepared to get to your bed. To slow down the process of them penetrating your base I suggest putting water around your "bed shell" and upgrading mining fatigue. If you have the iron you should also place an iron golem, which will make it difficult for attacks to dig through when being swung at. Make sure that the golem can not be shot from far away though because then it is just wasted iron. Another good team upgrade for your base would be "It's a trap!". This is because it not only slows and blinds the enemy, but it also alerts all your team members that someone is in your base. Oh, and one last thing about the bed shell. You should build it up rather largely, so tnt will not break through in just one hit. This will also confuse players to where your bed actually is.
Useful Bed-Breaking Strategies
If you are going to start an attack make sure you know your enemy. You will want to know if they had a lot of emeralds for example because then you might need a diamond pickaxe for obsidian. Bed-Breaking missions always work better with a team (team modes ONLY). You can have one player distract and sort of lure and tease the players out of their base while you have your teammate drop some TNT on their bed shell. This brings me to my next point of breaking the bed shell. TNT will break any block except obsidian, so this is useful to have. You will want to place the TNT on the bed shell's thinnest part. This is why often times attacks are coordinated from above the base. When attacking always carry at least a stone pickaxe in the case that you know they don't have obsidian, but might have endstone. The best time to attack a bed is when the team is away. You have to be careful though because they might come running back if you set off the "It's a trap!". If you know a team does have obsidian I highly recommend having your maniac miner upgraded to hurry up that obsidian breaking!
Note: There are different strategies for each gamemode based on island separation and the amount of team members.
◉ Leveling and Experience
Leveling and experience is something you always see players wondering about. How do I get it? What does leveling up do? What's the best way to level up? Well, Bedwars levels are in the form of stars where each level is a star. You earn experience for these levels through playing games, winning games, playing with teamates, and completing quests. Every time you level up you earn a loot chest, which is a chest that grants you 3 cosmetic items from the shop. I will discuss what these cosmetics are in the next section. For a full guide on stars, leveling, and experience you can click HERE .
◉ Cosmetic Shop and Loot Chests
Bedwars does not have a shop of upgrades and instead has a shop full of cosmetics! Some cosmetics require a purchased rank though. To get to the cosmetic shop right click the shop keeper in the lobby or the emerald in your hand. As previously mentioned, you earn these cosmetic rewards after opening loot chests, which are awarded every time you level up, but can also be bought HERE . If you receive a duplicate cosmetic you are awarded coins instead. Currently, there are 9 types of cosmetics: projectile trails, victory dances, final kill effects, sprays, island toppers, death cries, shopkeeper skins, kill messages, and glyphs. I have provided a list of what each cosmetic is in addition to which cosmetics are currently available.
- Projectile Trails: Add particles trails to your projectiles
- Final Kill Effects: Adds a special effect that takes place when you Final Kill another player
- Victory Dances: Special dances that happen when you or your team win a game
- Death Cries: Play a custom noise when you die
- Sprays: Spray a custom-image onto the walls of the map
- Glyphs: Spawn a custom image Glyph above your head
- Island Toppers: Adds a custom built Topper to your starting island
- Shopkeeper Skins: Customise the skin of your shopkeeper
- Kill Messages: Change all your kill messages to custom ones

Note: All common cosmetics cost 5,000 coins, all rare cosmetics cost 10,000 coins, all epic cosmetics cost 25,000 coins, and all legendary cosmetics cost 100,000 coins. The cosmetics however do not have to be paid for if you find them in a loot chest.
