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 14, 2012@Odile2 I disagree when it comes to earthbenders and chi blockers, Think about it if you where really an earth bender you'd use walls/colums to block its path so it didnt get to you. Jumping up walls is overkill.
Chiblockers should have to be creative when fighting because they are not unstoppable anti bending destroyer units.

Yes. They are 3x power. But only with fists. So it does a whole 1.5 hearts per punch.
If this is not the case, he compiled at the time where I didn't do damage properly. And that's not my fault, it hasn't been released yet so :P
@Dnnn5
They can definitely get away. Airbenders have sprint and jump II, chiblockers have sprint and jump I. Airbenders also have AirScooter.
@machado197328
I am not familiar with PEX enough to help with denying permissions, because at first glance I see your issue. I don't know.
@Mikebeast27
Yep, just flag that area for no PvP. E.g. "/rg flag spawn pvp deny", where spawn is just an example area, you'd put the region you've actually already defined.
@odile2
Chiblockers in the series immediately work the moment they hit you, so I won't be doing a percent chance to block bending. Also, I don't know where you got 75% from, they have a 100% chance to block bending for 2.5s. Testing has revealed that any change in this really makes them underpowered.
I feel like Chiblockers are definitely in line with the Avatar universe, let them touch you and you are screwed (definitely what happens normally).
I don't think Earthbenders raising themselves up for defense is an issue. You want chiblockers to be able to chase any bender anywhere? What happens when an airbender uses tornado? Also, it's not overpowered for earthbenders to do that - you have the option of running away.
@MistPhizzle
Avatar color and title is currently just for ops. Not sure the easiest way to change it, and it's not top priority, but I do want to implement a better way to see "Avatars" or even people who can bend more than 1 element.
@odile2
Adding items is client-side. I will not be doing that.
As for more "acrobatic" stuff, that would be interesting but probably impossible to implement for various reasons with bukkit.
@Dnnn5
Just point up and use it. If you're getting launched less than you think you should, check to see if you have NoCheat or something. Sometimes those types of programs really dislike certain bending.
Glider has been suggested, but any new item is client-side and will not be happening. Additionally, any item that already exists in the game is just not a good enough facsimile for a glider to try to do that. Plus, airbenders have AirScooter and Tornado so I don't think they need more mobility.

Posted Jul 13, 2012How do you use Catapult? I don't think I'm using it right. I have plenty of earth below and behind me, but wherever I click I only go half the distance and then fall to the ground. Edit : Also, has the idea of adding a glider like thing for airbenders been suggested yet? Maybe if an airbender is holding a stack of paper, they could use it to fly around for a short time.

Posted Jul 13, 2012Sorry to post again after not posting too long ago but after talking this over with some friends, I believe we've come up with a good idea on how to improve chi's. You could possibly make specific items only craft able and usable by chi's that either drop or are bound on death (up to you). I was thinking adding items like bolas or something along those lines. Also, as an increase to acrobatic prowess you could make chiblockers able to jump off vertical walls. For example, you could scale to the top of two walls that are close to each other by continually jumping off the adjacent wall until you reached the top of one of them... This would be a good solution to help chi benders reach the top of an earthbender wall when they just sit at the top forever without any danger... I would personally like to see these as abilities (to help make the chiblocker more interactive) but it's up to you as the developer. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Posted Jul 13, 2012I gave one user all four elements to act as the "Avatar", but their name color is still the default bending color, which in this case is Water. Help?

Posted Jul 13, 2012Hotwing, you can easily beat chiblockers if you just stay away from their melee. You have a large ranged advantage... I honestly think it's pretty balanced accept for the earth thing I mentioned earlier. Earth benders just sit on a 1x1 column and just look at chiblockers. Chiblockers have no way to get up there or do anything to them while they kill you. Perhaps as a fix to chiblockers being "op" I guess would be to lower their chiblock chance from 75% to 25% per strike. You've done an excellent job though on the plugin and if you feel any of my suggestions would mess with things too much I totally understand. I'm just glad that you did this and I'm having a blast with the plugin.

Posted Jul 13, 2012Hey guys i was wondering if there is a way to use worldguard to prevent bending in certain areas? It would be helpful since most builds can be easily destroyed by most bending. thanks! :)

Posted Jul 13, 2012man please help me out here , i'm using the PermissionsEx v1.19.2 and Bending v1.0.6 , by default , my config file is like this :
permissions: backend: file backends: file: file: permissions.yml superperms: {}
There's notthing refering to bending, so if by default all players can already choose their element and use all abilities, how can I make a evolution system? D:

Firstly, how is it you were able to "update"? If you went to the source and compiled it from there, then experiencing some issues is bound to happen from the fact that it's a development version.
Also, they have 3x strength with punches only, so they do 1.5 hearts there. How is that OP? They don't block chi with anything else. Extra speed? Half falling damage? Still not seeing how that is OP. At all.

Posted Jul 13, 2012Chi blockers are op, and they sort of kill the plugin. This secret city on a server is doing so great. They update the plugin, get a bunch of chi blockers, and they get griefed. WTF. 3x strength?!?!?! Extra speed?!?!?! Halve falling damage?!?!?! Thats op.

Posted Jul 13, 2012Hey Orion! Feel free to ignore this but something I think that would benefit chiblockers would be some sort of ranged ability (and possible a full set of abilities for the sake of abilities). I say this because I find that chiblockers are so screwed up against earthbenders when they sit up on a wall and launch shit at you. When this happens, chiblockers have 0 way to counter this because we have no way to touch them or effect their walls.... On the topic of more abilites, if you were to add more, you could make the chi block ability that is on a bindable ability. Just my 2 cents. As always, a great great mod.

Posted Jul 12, 2012Amazing plugin. All around good fun. If I may however, one suggestion (only a suggestion) for chi blockers would be to get rid of extra hunger depletion when sprinting seeing as how sprinting and being acrobatic is an essential part of their combat and they will be doing it alot
