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 Oct 11, 2012This is from the avatar wiki: "Aang was also seen wielding this maneuver on the offensive against the Combustion Man at the Western Air Temple where he summoned the tornado with a kick in mid-air to conjure a powerful ranged attack." I don't suppose tornado will ever be given an offensive ability like this, will it?

Posted Oct 10, 2012How can i do like a bending arena? Idk what is best, but maybe people should join like a "game" by typing a command and then when game start they can fight and use their bending in a arena, and then when game ends the map resets? idk. Or should it be like a zone where they can fight? is there any plugin?

Tornado isn't supposed to lift players up like it lifts mobs up - that would be broken. :P

'It isn't working' is a very vague statement. What errors are showing up in console, in-game? Are you getting a no permissions error? Are you sure you're binding it correctly?
/bending bind AvatarState if you're not. The wiki tells you how to use it.
@AStrongerFellow
I would set allow-flight to true to be on the safe side. I can't tell you if that is your problem, but it very well could be. Dunno.

Posted Oct 9, 2012This doesn't have to be answered by a moderator, anyone who is an Airbender or has dealt with the bending plugin enough to give me an answer may answer. For the Tornado ability, it is not picking up players in my server. I am wondering: Have you had this issue? Is it not supposed to lift people up? Is allow-flight:false in config what you found to be the issue?

You could emulate this in some ways by changing the config file value "Day-Power-Factor" and reloading the server just for that day. Couple that with an announcement and your most of the way there. Obviously this still wouldn't give infinite firejet, but at least would make firebending stronger to w/e level you wish.

Posted Oct 9, 2012Is there a way to make earth bending less grief-like? I like what it does, but if you do something like shockwave in sand, the plugin will cause a massive crater when it tries to reset the blocks.

Maybe it's case-sensitive? Try bending.admin.AvatarState
I'll check on it later.
@SarahShadow
Any permissions plugin whatsoever will do. The nodes are on the wiki (and on this page), you'll need to familiarize yourself with the specific permissions plugin to figure out how to work it.
As for IRONBLOCK, it works off of the "material" name for the block. It may be IRON_BLOCK, but if not here is a list of all the material values of everything Bukkit supports.
@Avatar_Eddy
It think it's unbalanced, unfeasible and not satisfying for the players :P
I can't make the graphics for it (client-side), so it wouldn't look nice. Similarly I won't be programming solar and lunar eclipses, because that'd be client-side too.

This is just a thought. But when do you think you can add Sozin's Comet to the plugin? I know it would be impossible to mod, seeing as this is a NO world mod thing.
BUT!!
Maybe it could be set up so every 100 days in game, a message would appear saying:
"Sozin's Comet Has Appeared!!! Firebenders feel empowered in a way only felt every 100 years!"
And for that day, a Firebender's power increases by an unspecified amount. PLUS! Firejet becomes infinite (Toggle-Able)!
Whatcha think??

Posted Oct 9, 2012Our server is looking to add ranks so we can have moderators and admins, along with of course normal users. We have been looking at essentials group manager, and bpermissions for example. The Wiki for this plugin doesn't list any permissions plugins in the compatible plugins list... is there a particular one you would recommend? What would the command variables be? Something like bukkit.bending.bend?
Also we have been able to add blocks to the earthbendable list since you updated (thanks!) however i'm unsure as to the name for ironblocks. I tried IRONBLOCK but that didn't work, so if you could provide that blockname as its used in your mod, that would be great. (We have added netherrack successfully already)

Posted Oct 9, 2012Hi, I hate to bother you with petty problems, but for the life of me, I cant seem to get the avatarstate permission node to work. I put in bending.admin.avatarstate, and it has no effect. Im pretty good with permissions, but idk whats going wrong. Seems to be the wrong permission because giving all permissions works. Please shed some light if you can, I could send you my groups file? Let me know, Cat.

Posted Oct 8, 2012Another question or two. I want to set an area where this can be use. Will this work with the blocked-cmds flag on global? or is there a way to set global build to deny, while still allowing players to build normally, and have the area where i want this to be used set to build allow? I ask because a few people went and used some earthbending to grief a build area, and we have no way of knowing who. I could always make a new player class, or limit certain people, but that is less fun for pvp.
Also, will this plugin be able to work with things like logblock eventually?
And, is there a way to add the ability to add nodes for abilities by the players reading a book or something? So they have to sort of learn the skill?
