As a minigame, it needs a high-clock CPU and Anti-DDoS because of the many actions per second and the player spikes. At scale, split the lobby and matches across a network with a proxy. ## Why BedWars is heavy[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/minecraft-bedwars-server#por-que-bedwars-pesa) BedWars has no giant world to generate, but it packs dozens of players breaking blocks, placing blocks and fighting at the same time. That density of actions stresses the CPU in a way that relaxed survival does not. That is why it belongs to the same family as [minigames in general](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/minecraft-minigames-server). ## Server structure[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/minecraft-bedwars-server#estrutura) 1. Build a central lobby where players arrive. 2. Install the BedWars plugin in the plugins folder. 3. Define teams, generators and match rules. 4. Test a full match before opening to the public. Start with a few well-tested arenas. It is better to have three stable maps than twenty maps with resource generation bugs. ## Maps and queue[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/minecraft-bedwars-server#mapas-e-fila) Each map becomes an arena registered in the plugin. The automatic queue gathers players and starts the match when it fills up. Adjust the number of players per team to the size of the map, so it is neither empty nor overcrowded. ## Network and scale[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/minecraft-bedwars-server#rede-e-escala) * High-clock CPU for many actions per second * Anti-DDoS active for peak hours * Spare RAM for several simultaneous matches * Backup of the lobby and the configured arenas Minigames attract network attacks. Make sure you are protected by following [Anti-DDoS for game servers](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/infrastructure/anti-ddos-game-server-brazil). ## Growing with a network[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/minecraft-bedwars-server#crescer) When your audience grows, split the lobby and matches across servers linked by a proxy, as explained in [Velocity and BungeeCord](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/velocity-vs-bungeecord).

The base is the same, but the requirements change. Minigames have many actions per second, short matches and player spikes. That calls for a high-clock CPU and solid network protection more than a huge disk. Do I need several servers for BedWars? At a small scale, one server with arenas is enough. As you grow, it is worth splitting the lobby and matches across a network with a proxy to spread the load and organize players. How do I avoid outages at peak hours? Use Anti-DDoS at the edge and size CPU and RAM with room to spare. Minigames attract attacks because competition breeds rivalry, so network protection is not optional. Can I use ready-made maps? Yes. Many arena maps are shared by the community. Load them as a schematic, adjust the generators and register them in the plugin. Always test before opening to the public.
