This 3v3v3v3/4v4v4v4 Bed Wars map features a unique design not seen in other maps to date.
The spawn island features an open generator, a quick way to access both the shops and the chests, as well as a quick path to both openings of the base.
The outer ring allows for relatively easy access to the 4 Diamond Generators (15 blocks) and to the back of the opposing teams’ base (30 blocks).
This level design encourages dynamic and defensive gameplay.
The player can also opt to go to the middle of the map featuring 2 Emerald Generators (36 blocks) yet is now unable to see what is going on at the outer ring of the map due to the walls of the castle blocking visibility.
Through proper coordination, a team can pincer attack another team. Be careful not to expose yourself while doing so.

Iterative design.
In the process of building this Bed Wars map, I made several changes and improvements. I asked for feedback and had people walking around the map in order to tell me about their experiences.
Some of the things I improved or changed include:
Removed a lot of tall grass and flowers. Only kept some in on the outer edges where PVP is highly unlikely to be affected by it.
The outer ring was increased in size by approximately 10% in order to allow for better PVP.
Added slight protection against being knocked off the outer edge to reduce the power knockback weapons have.
The Diamond Generators were moved to be out of the natural movement across the outer ring. The player now has to make a conscious decision to go grab the diamonds from the generator.
Added more decoration to mid and height variation to help aid the flow of PVP.
Changed the inside of the spawn islands to prevent players from right-clicking the walls accidentally.
Opened the front of the windmills to allow players to quickly access their bed, this is a one-way entry, the player has to use the stairs to get back to the generator.
Many small improvements were made that brought the map to its final design. The outcome is very pleasing.
