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 Jul 12, 2012Sorry yeah, there is a a bug.
If you haven't touched the config and your server starts binding things to items, do a reload of the server. That should fix it.
Not sure what causes that.

Abilities are already bound to slot, I don't remember you could bind them to items

Posted Jul 12, 2012This is an awesome plugin! I love it! I was just wondering if there was a way to change it so you can bind the abilities to a slot rather than an item? it appears that it was that way in previous versions, but i just got it today and i haven't changed the config and it only binds to items. is there a way to change that?
Nevermind i just figured it out! thanks!

Use a plugin like CommandHelper to change the commands to your liking. Also, I recommend the Macro / Keybind Mod, it's great. You can bind things by pushing a button on your keyboard ^_^

Posted Jul 12, 2012This is awesome now that it works! Could you make some shortcut commands for binding? My friend says he would rather type /bind <power>, /<power>, or /b <power>.

right, thanky for answering and you're using same permissions plugins i am, but if by default, players can already choose their element and use all the abilities, how can I deny those? since any permission only appear somewhere ( in pex's config file ) when I add it to some group as far as I know, please help me.
@edit
my PEX wasn't updated

So, it's not "Avatar", and it's not v2.6.1, and it doesn't have spells. I think you have the wrong plugin...
It's "Bending", it's version 1.0.6...
@MarcosSanchezR
You may be able to do that with permissions, check that out. Otherwise no, there's no config option for that (there may be one eventually though)

It generates a PluginMetrics file also, I do not know what that is all about. I am trying the commands /bending, /bending help, /bending choose, and all of the other ones, and it tells me the commands do not exist.

It's a very intense plugin, mostly because of animations. If I had a professional look over the code, it's possible it could be optimized, but yes it causes lag for everyone I know.
And I'm not sure about the iron bars bit. That'd take quite a bit of work for just iron bars (the water couldn't go through it, it'd have to override it temporarily). We'll see.

And one idea. Maybe you could make so, that water bender's could extract water from places which has iron bars above them? You know, i;m making pro bendign arena and i'm having trouble placing water.

No, I Think, i'll wait. Now just a thing, this plugin really lags on every server right? Because when i run it with it, and without it, everyone can notice big difference

Posted Jul 12, 2012Note to everyone:
Updates are coming more slowly than they did at first, as you've noticed. This is both because I'm adding more complicated features and because I have a goal in mind.
Hopefully, 1.1.0 will be the "release", with all moves available and finished. Any release after that should be for bug-fixes and the like.
Bending will not continue to grow after that - more than 9 abilities per discipline just becomes excessive, and there is just so much you can do with Bukkit+Minecraft. The only updates should be minor ones, or ones that add more config options for the server admin.
So, that having been said, I only have a few more patches between 1.0.6 and 1.1.0, which means I'm making them count. They have large amounts of content in each patch. For example, this next patch has Chi Blockers in it.
@Dnnn5
Try it with no other plugins. Also, tell me a command you're using. Maybe it's something fundamentally wrong there.
@Cecelo126
WaterSpout is being reworked, but will not knock people back. It was really never shown as a use other than to get to a higher location to fight (both Pakku and Korra did this)
That's an idea I had with the Water part of WaterWall.
@machado197328
As far as I'm aware, any permissions plugin will do. I've used PermissionsBukkit and PEX, both worked just fine.
@bobzambo
The server has been recently moved and is still crying with 20 people online. I don't think increasing the number of slots will be viable, since 20 people playing with decent lag is much better than 40 people not playing because of lag.
@DVecc1217
There is no whitelist.
@Trjj
Thanks. You can remove those, it's in the config. Turn compatibility to true. Or just remove the prefixes themselves in the config.
@rickkreuk
Thanks! I too have had that annoyance. I'm not sure that I'll change it though - mostly because it's an annoyance with people who are changing their bending too often, and there won't be many of those. I think I'll just leave it to a client-side mod with macros on a person-to-person basis (shouldn't be to hard to do).
@MarcosSanchezR
I will. Don't worry :P
@hotwing10
Chi Blockers are already finished and will be in the next patch. There will probably be nothing more after that, since most every other class can be done with vanilla minecraft (go get you some armor and swords and bows).

Posted Jul 12, 2012First of all: you have done amazing work and I'm havin lots of fun with this plugin. But if someone can bend multiple elements it is really annoying that you have to rebind all the abilities every time you want to bend another element. Maybe you could add the option to save your slot layout so you could easily switch between them without rebinding everything.
