1. Introduction to Bed Wars
Bed Wars is one of the most popular and exciting game modes in MineFun. It combines strategic planning, resource management, team coordination, and intense PvP combat into one thrilling package. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to improve your skills, this comprehensive guide will help you understand every aspect of the game.
What Makes Bed Wars Special?
Unlike simple deathmatch games, Bed Wars adds a unique twist: your bed is your lifeline. As long as your bed exists, you can respawn after death. Once it's destroyed, you have only one life remaining. This creates a perfect balance between aggressive offense and careful defense.
Core Objective
Protect your bed while destroying enemy beds, then eliminate all opponents to win.
Game Duration
Typical games last 10-20 minutes, making it perfect for quick gaming sessions.
Team Sizes
Available in solo, doubles, 3v3v3v3, and 4v4v4v4 formats.
Skill Elements
Combines building, PvP combat, resource management, and teamwork.
2. Game Basics
Understanding Your Spawn Island
When the game starts, you spawn on your team's island. Every island contains:
- Your Bed - The most important object in the game
- Resource Generator - Produces iron and gold over time
- Item Shop - Where you spend resources to buy items
- Team Upgrades Shop - Purchase permanent team upgrades
Resource Types
| Resource | Source | Primary Uses |
|---|---|---|
| Iron | Base generator (fast) | Wool, basic tools, stone sword |
| Gold | Base generator (medium) | Armor, better tools, special items |
| Diamonds | Diamond generators (center) | Team upgrades only |
| Emeralds | Emerald generators (various) | Diamond armor, powerful items |
3. Early Game Strategy (0-2 Minutes)
The first two minutes of a Bed Wars game set the foundation for victory. Here's exactly what you should do:
First 30 Seconds Checklist
- 1 Collect initial resources from generator (aim for 60+ iron, 20+ gold)
- 2 Buy a Stone Sword (10 iron) immediately
- 3 Buy Chain Armor set (40 iron) for protection
- 4 Buy Wool (4 iron per 16) for bed defense
- 5 Cover your bed with at least one layer of wool
Pro Tip: Resource Efficiency
Don't wait for resources to reach maximum capacity. Start buying items as soon as you have enough. Time saved in the early game compounds into a significant advantage.
Recommended Starting Purchase Order
1. Stone Sword (10 iron) - Essential for combat
2. Chain Armor (40 iron) - Significant protection boost
3. Wool x2 (8 iron) - Bed defense material
4. Wooden Pickaxe (10 iron) - For breaking blocks
4. Resource Management
Smart resource management separates good players from great ones. Every piece of iron and gold matters, especially in the early game.
Priority Spending Guide
High Priority
- • Basic weapon (Stone Sword)
- • Armor (Chain minimum)
- • Bed defense materials
- • Mining Fatigue trap
Medium Priority
- • Better weapons (Iron/Diamond)
- • Bow and arrows
- • Golden Apples
- • Fireballs
Situational
- • TNT (for base breaking)
- • Ender Pearl
- • Water bucket
- • Bridge eggs
Diamond Upgrade Priority
When you collect diamonds from center generators, spend them on team upgrades in this order:
- 1st Mining Fatigue Trap - Slows down bed rushers significantly
- 2nd Sharpness - Increases team damage output
- 3rd Protection - Reduces damage taken by team
- 4th Haste - Faster mining for resource collection
- 5th Heal Pool - Regeneration at base
5. Bed Defense Strategies
Golden Rule of Bed Wars
Defense always comes first. Without your bed, you cannot respawn. A well-defended bed buys time even when you're outplayed.
Defense Layers Explained
Layer 1: Wool (Inner Layer)
Cheap and quick to place. Use wool as your first layer because:
- Fast to acquire (4 iron for 16 blocks)
- Breaks quickly, giving you time to react
- Can be replaced rapidly during attacks
Layer 2: Wood Planks (Middle Layer)
More durable than wool, good middle ground:
- Requires longer to break through
- Relatively affordable
- Good balance of cost and protection
Layer 3: End Stone (Outer Layer)
The strongest commonly-used defense material:
- Takes 4x longer to break by hand than wool
- 11x more blast resistance than sandstone
- Essential for late-game defense
Layer 4: Glass (Anti-TNT)
Special purpose defensive material:
- Prevents TNT damage (blast-proof)
- Allows visibility of attackers
- Use strategically, not as main defense

Advanced Defense Tip: Water Bucket
Place water around your bed defense. Water slows enemies, prevents fireball damage, and can knock attackers into the void if placed correctly on edges.
6. Offensive Tactics
When to Rush
Timing your attack is crucial. Here are the best moments to rush enemy beds:
Good Times to Rush
- ✓ Enemy team is fighting another team
- ✓ You have significant gear advantage
- ✓ Enemy just lost a player
- ✓ You have 2+ teammates available
Bad Times to Rush
- ✗ Your bed is undefended
- ✗ You have basic gear only
- ✗ Full enemy team is home
- ✗ Enemy has bow coverage on bridge
Rush Loadout
Before rushing, ensure you have:
- • Weapon: Iron sword minimum, diamond preferred
- • Armor: Full iron or better
- • Tools: Pickaxe (at least stone) and shears/axe
- • Blocks: 64+ wool or wood for bridging
- • Healing: 2-3 Golden Apples
- • Optional: Fireball, TNT, or Ender Pearl
7. Bridging Techniques
Bridging is essential in Bed Wars. The faster and safer you can bridge, the better your offensive and defensive capabilities.
Crouch Bridging (Beginner)
The safest method for beginners:
- 1. Face the direction you want to bridge
- 2. Hold Shift (crouch) to prevent falling
- 3. Walk backward to the edge of the block
- 4. Look down and place a block
- 5. Walk back onto new block and repeat
Ninja Bridging (Intermediate)
Faster method that requires practice:
- 1. Start similar to crouch bridging
- 2. After placing each block, briefly release crouch
- 3. Move forward onto new block
- 4. Crouch again before reaching the edge
- 5. Place next block and repeat
Practice Tip
Practice bridging in Creative mode first. Set a goal to cross a 30-block gap without falling before using it in real games.
8. PvP Combat Tips
Critical Hits
Critical hits deal 50% more damage and are essential for winning fights. To land a critical hit:
- Jump and attack while falling downward
- You'll see star particles on successful crits
- Works best when enemy is below you
- Time your swings for maximum damage
Movement Techniques
Strafing
Circle around your opponent using A/D keys while attacking. Makes you harder to hit.
W-Tapping
Quickly tap W between hits to reset sprint. Causes more knockback to opponents.
Jump Reset
Jump when hit to cancel incoming knockback. Requires precise timing.
Block Clutching
Place blocks under yourself while being knocked back to save from void.
Weapon Usage
Sword: Primary weapon for all close combat
Bow: Use to damage enemies before they reach you, or knock them off bridges
Fishing Rod: Pull enemies toward you, excellent for combo starting
Fireball: Destroy blocks and knock enemies into void
9. Team Coordination
Role Distribution (3v3 Example)
Defender
Primary job: Protect the bed and base
- Stay near bed at all times
- Build and maintain defenses
- Alert team to incoming attacks
- Buy defensive upgrades and traps
Resource Collector
Primary job: Gather resources from generators
- Control diamond generators when possible
- Share resources with teammates
- Purchase team upgrades
- Supply attackers with gear
Rusher/Attacker
Primary job: Destroy enemy beds
- Rush enemy bases when opportunity arises
- Break through defenses
- Eliminate enemy players
- Coordinate attacks with teammates
Communication Essentials
- • Call out enemy positions and movements
- • Coordinate rush timings
- • Share resource needs
- • Alert when leaving base undefended
10. Common Mistakes to Avoid
✗ Mistake: Leaving Bed Undefended
Going to center or attacking when no one guards the bed.
Fix: Always have at least one person defend, or ensure bed has strong defenses.
✗ Mistake: Over-Defending
Spending all resources on bed defense while enemies get better gear.
Fix: Balance defense and offense. Basic defense + good gear beats amazing defense + bad gear.
✗ Mistake: Solo Rushing Strong Teams
Attacking a full team alone without advantage.
Fix: Coordinate with teammates or wait for better opportunities.
✗ Mistake: Hoarding Resources
Saving too many resources without spending them.
Fix: Spend resources on upgrades and items. Dead players lose all resources.
✗ Mistake: Building Open Bridges
Creating bridges without side walls, easy target for bow users.
Fix: Build walls on your bridges or use speed bridging to minimize exposure.
11. Advanced Strategies
TNT Jumping
Use TNT explosions to launch yourself toward enemy bases quickly. Risky but can catch enemies off guard.
Fireball Knockback
Fire at enemies on bridges to knock them into the void. Can also be used to propel yourself with careful timing.
Pearl Rushing
Use Ender Pearls to teleport directly to enemy beds, bypassing their bridges and potentially their defenders.
Pro Strategy: The Fake Out
Start bridging toward one team to draw their attention, then quickly turn and rush a different team that's now focused on the wrong direction.
Late Game Dominance
- • Control all diamond generators
- • Max out team upgrades
- • Coordinate final pushes with full team
- • Save Ender Pearls for clutch moments
- • Keep spare armor in chests at base
Conclusion
Bed Wars rewards players who can balance multiple skills: strategic thinking, mechanical skill, teamwork, and adaptability. The best players don't just excel at one thing - they understand how all elements work together.
Remember: practice is key. Every game teaches you something new. Focus on improving one aspect at a time, and soon you'll be dominating lobbies consistently.
