Official Bending Server
IP - minecraftTLA.us.to

If that server is full (and it usually is), feel free to check out any of the other "official" servers.
Dev build
Development builds of this project can be acquired at the provided continuous integration server. These builds have not been approved by the BukkitDev staff. Use them at your own risk. This link has been removed because Bukkit doesn't like Github as a CI server.
Minecraft: The Last Airbender is a Minecraft plugin for a Bukkit server. It is designed for Survival Multiplayer, and allows players to choose an element to bend as the benders do in the world of Avatar (the stage of Avatar: The Last Airbender and its sequel The Legend of Korra).
Some quick notes: I will warn you that you will not be able to do everything they do in the show. There are limitations both in Minecraft and in Bukkit that prevent such extravagance. In the details of each discipline you can see exactly what you can do. As such, the description of the bending disciplines is a little altered to reflect their role in the world of Minecraft: The Last Airbender.
Features
- Play as a bender and choose which type you would like to be.
- Battle other users and see who is the best of the best.
- Compatible with WorldGuard, Factions, PreciousStones, GriefPrevention, and CreeperHeal. (Many more plugins will be added to this list)
- Nothing is required client-side
- Permissions support!
Bending
Users may bend water, earth, fire, air, or can go with being a chiblocker.. You may pick which type of bender you would like to be with the command: /bending choose [water/air/earth/fire/chi]. You may only choose one, with the exception of the Avatar, and you may never change it so be careful in your decision.
Waterbending
- Specializes in maneuverability in and on the water.
- Oceans are perfect for water benders.
- Techniques range from shooting water that do damage, freezing lakes, or even pushing enemies back with powerful waves.
- This bending style is a mixture of offensive and defensive.
- Water bending opens up many options in bodies of water that are otherwise closed to the other disciplines.
Earthbending
- Specializes in manipulating the earth around them.
- Any area which contains land is perfect for earth benders.
- They have the abilities to pull columns straight up from the earth, drill their way through any mountain and launch themselves through the air.
- This bending style, like water bending, is a mixture of offensive and defensive.
- Earth benders do not take fall damage as long as they land on the ground.
Firebending
- Specializes on destruction and incineration.
- Any environment, besides on any bodies of water, is perfect for them.
- They may create rings of fire on the ground, shoot lines of fire, and even create exploding fireballs.
- This bending style is pure offensive, and very little mobility/defense.
- Fireball is the only ability they may use that does not require any solid ground beneath them.
Airbending
- Specializes in mobility & defense.
- The land is the ideal place for airbenders, although they may also bend over the water.
- Bending air allows you to use wind to blast things away, forming a shield of air around you, or using a tornado to lift you, or your opponent, off of their feet.
- This bending style is perfect for pacifists and explorers for they lack any raw damage output, but make up for it with their utility and speed.
- Choosing air as your element increases your overall speed, decreases the rate of hunger and disables fall damage.
Chi Blocking
- Specializes in bare handed combat.
- Move faster, jump higher, take less fall damage.
- Can block someones chi, stopping them from Bending for a short period of time.
- Abilities range from Higher Jumps, Faster Punches, and Paralysis of enemies.
HELP! It's not working!
This is a Bukkit plugin, not a single player mod. It will never be a single player mod. Go to the Bukkit Wiki to set up your own server. You can play on it just like you would single player, and it requires nothing more than setting it up.
If anything is not working, look around for a development build of Bending.
Development progress
School has picked back up, so plugin development will be very intermittent at best. I've done away with the ordered releases, and will most likely be keeping 1.0.7 the "official" version until I release it as 1.1.0. It's a jump, I know, but if I were forced to stick to a schedule, the plugin would never get done. This is because there are things I like coding and want to code now, and I shouldn't have to wait just because I have something else planned for the version.
As such, there is no ETA on the release. The dev build will of course be updated as I add features, but 1.1.0 will only be officially released when everything is completed, and that could take a very long time.

Configurable messages and multi-language support will be added eventually.
Nothing changed in 1.0.7 or 1.0.8 that affects performance. Your issues lie either with Bukkit or with something else.
@Blaze590
By default, just make them an op. Check permissions and commands on how to do whatever else you mean.
@SilentCrafter347
There is no more room for new abilities. You can do earth shelter with RaiseEarth, and magnetism is never shown in the series.
@Dmoney90221
FireJet will always be the only thing I do that's close to FireSpout. FireSpout (or anything like it) was never shown in the series, only FireJet.
@Ooby15
That's a strange issue, I'll investigate it. Try turning off the server, changing the config, then turning it back on.
@monstercat101
It does work, consult your permissions plugin. Every permissions plugin has a way to negate (take away) a permission that's true by default. You'll just need to do this for your default group. I can't tell you what the format is because A) I don't know the plugin you're using and B) I believe you can help yourself by using guides tailored for that plugin.

Posted Aug 29, 2012I Can someone tell me how to edit the config files? I'm on the 1.0.7 version and whenever I change the settings they revert back to default as soon as the server starts up.

Posted Aug 28, 2012I want to ask that you imply 'FireSpout' Like 'AirSpout' or 'WaterSpout'. I think it will be a great addition to the plugin/server mod. Please consider it!

Posted Aug 28, 2012Orion. I have some ideas for earthbending. If you go on the wiki there are a number of moves. But i think that earth should get magnitism and earth shelter.

To elaborate on #2, it's just bending.air for blocking air being chosen, not bending.choose.air. And that's only in the dev build. Same with the new help interface.

1. Use permissions, deny them in certain worlds. Profit.
2. I don't handle feature suggestions.
3. Negate the bending.choose.elementname node. IE -bending.choose.air
4. You can manipulate the height on the spouts already. Not too sure on the configurable flight time. I know you can effect FireJet / Catapult though.
5. #2
6. I agree, better chat support is needed. It conflicts with a lot of stuff. You can turn compatibility mode to true in the config. This will get rid of Bending's colors.
7. The command line has been improved SOOO much lately. Just using the command /bending should output some useful information. /bending help is all the better. Make sure you are running the most recent dev build.

Kthx :D Do tell if you need someone to run beta or testing
Edit: I also have suggestions;
Have really high hopes for this plugin, its awesome already and i've only been using it for a few hrs, the players love it, but its a little hard to get them started.

The config bit is experimental right now, so I may revert it. And check the permissions page here, not on the wiki.
AFAIK the config shouldn't reset upon reloading or restarting, but I will look into that.

Allso, would it be possible to make it actually generate something in the config, and not just make a blank one wich resets anything i put in it when i reload/restart ? and i cant seem to get to your permissions page, or rather; its empty xD
but i like the plugin very much :3

Oh, that's not 1.3.2, that's your java. 1.0.7 was compiled for Java 7, 1.0.8 was compiled for Java 6.
And yes, it has problems with essentials chat.

The plugin would only loads when i use the dev build[1.0.8], it also does not like essentials chat, shutting it down, or overriding it

Consult your permissions plugin. That's everything to do with learning to use that, not Bending.
@Nikz11
That's advanced parts of WorldGuard, read up on that using google. It has a wiki.
@hgt3345
The plugin is already fully compatible with 1.3.2.
