Official Bending Server

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.

Posted Sep 25, 2012I'm working with someone else on this server. Having just gone over the file extensively, I do find the punching info and lots of other goodies. I don't however find a bendable blocks list or entry of any kind. Is this something I should be adding myself?

If you don't have any plugins that change the sea level (I don't know of any), then that's correct. Evaporate will not remove water at or below sea level, so any "holes" in the sea isn't from Evaporate.

But could you be more specific? sea level is on my server 62. Is that the right value?

That should be fixed.
All particle effects are supposed to play out to a 20 foot radius, but it seems that the client or Bukkit has a hard-coded max of around 10. There's nothing I can do about that.

LoL ok :P
Another thing I saw in the old version, and that I don't know if you fixed it, is that Shockwave sometimes leaves some holes when the earth/rock turns down
And could you add more smoke effects at Tornado because now it's not so much visible D:

As in a wall formed by surge? They can't do that anymore.
As in a man-made wall? It's your fault for not protecting that area from building, because they could have just punched it anyways. :P

Ok, but if the waterbender takes ice from an artificial wall?

For quite a while now, bending from ice will simply turn the ice into water and not air if the water would have been there had the ice been water (that sounds weird).
End result: waterbenders shouldn't be able to muck up an environment any more than a bucket could.

Yeah, and even for when a waterbender uses a block of ice to bend, it won't reappear, it should be fine if in the configs would be a revert list, like for the bendable blocks for earthbending, or a bendable blocks for waterbending, so the server owner could choose if snow blocks (not snow layers) or wood, etc... could be used

Posted Sep 25, 2012I put out a new dev build last night. In this (among other things), the config should populate itself again, there's multi-language support (untranslated for now), Earthbending bugs should be fixed, and HeatControl got a new feature - shift while holding food and you'll cook it.
@burp27
If Evaporate is working on water at or below sea level, your server owner has configured the plugin incorrectly.
@SarahShadow
I believe that's also in the config.

Posted Sep 25, 2012Can you make it that water will be reverted just like earth, but only with evaporate? Because there are holes in the sea everywhere

Posted Sep 24, 2012Thanks! Also is there a way to adjust punch damage for chiblockers? I feel like it should be a bit higher...

If you open your /plugins then /Bending folder, there should be a config file. Open it and add to the "Earthbendable Blocks" list. This should work.

Posted Sep 24, 2012Is there a way to add or subtract from the earthbendable blocks list? I feel like netherrack should be added, possibly metal blocks. Thanks.

You don't choose Avatar, you add the elements you want with /bending add.
@0dayRUDE
Bending respects building flags, not PvP ones. If you want people to bend in warzones, allow them to also build in warzones.
This is to prevent water and earthbenders from being way too OP due to this since they could great walls and others can't break them (because they don't have build permissions).
@drothan90
Flag a worldguard region with no building. Done.
@hessel797
1.0.8 will never come out. We're skipping to 1.1.0, and it will be out when everything is done. Read the "Development Progress" part of this page if you want to know why.
