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.

Use the permissions on this page: TLA Perms
If you don't want a rank to have, for instance, surge, then do: - -bending.water.surge
in your permissions plugin. The above will work for permissionsEX - I don't know about other permission plugins.

Posted Dec 18, 2012Is there any way of putting into the plugin where you can put Useperms: true into the config as i want to limit what ability benders can get like in rank system
E.g Basic can only do like watermanipulation Moderate can do what basic can do and also surge Master can do what moderater and basic can do and also the rest of the abilities
that would be really handy

I was wondering if you might be looking for a new arena for whatever reason. Some builders and I on my server made a custom one and I wanted to offer it in case you could use it anywhere. I'll link some images below:
Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Image 4 Image 5
If you would like the world file or a schematic, I can send it to you. Also, I submitted my server to your "official servers" list.
Thanks for making an awesome plugin.

Posted Dec 17, 2012@orion Thanks for replying.
@codiaz I get null[Avatar] wolfhowller: hello, but when I look back at my server.log, it is null[Avatar] wolfhowller[37;1m> hello[m. Orion said that it was probably another plugin messing with it, but I don't have any other ones in the folder. I don't want to bother him anymore with it cause its just a minor inconvenience. If you know anything that could help though, that would be great.

Only a handful of people on every server will have issues of having too many abilities to bind (most of the time, people will only have 1 element), so I don't plan on implementing that functionality.
Instead, I highly recommending getting a macro/keybind mod for your minecraft client, since everything can be done in the chat and without spam.
@codiaz
The lag is fixed in the new dev build. Well, the bending removing/choosing lag is fixed, that is.
@Wolfhowller
I've looked into doing the chat thing in a better and more cooperative fashion, but haven't come up with much so far. Stay tuned.
@Tsrizchris
It does, use your favorite permissions plugin. Any permissions plugin worth anything has world-by-world permissions.
@Danstryder
I can't help you with such little information.
@Xcite4Ever
It's fixed (I think) in the newest dev build.
@tttwebsite
I would love to and plan to, but I have no ETA on it.
@Tsrizchris
I assure you that every aspect of Bending can be turned off via PEX - except the bugs which are listed on the updated Known Issues page.
@Wolfhowller
The thing causing "null" in the beginning has to be from another plugin you have that is butting heads with Bending.
I'm quite firmly opposed to bending flowing water - I feel for balance and other reasons that waterbenders should only be able to bend from sources of water.
@codiaz
I'll worry about what 1.4.6 does with Bending when 1.4.6 comes out, as I've been telling you.
@Kenner03
Use bending.avatarstate as the node, for now. That works.
@Danstryder
Download the dev build. If bending only partially works, there's an error on your console that we need to see. Use pastebin or pastie to post it here.
@codiaz
Do not bother going into the plugin code itself to edit your permissions - that's what permissions plugins are for!
And I'll look into the orbfuscator bit.

I'm using version 2529 could that be a problem? and i'm using a hosted server so to back up all the plugins (i have a fair few) and to then put the bending one in on it's own and the put in the rest would be a bit of a hassle, i'll try it, wish me luck aha
<Edit> so i tried just having TLA plugin in the plugin folder. it doesn't work still, the cmds work but when it comes to using them then it doesn't work like with WaterManipulation, i press shift and there isn't any smoke, i have particles on, so i try to use it anyway and it doesnt work, if i do it on a plant then it just turns the plant into a water source, help?
connect to my server and check for yourself if you want, the ip is in my signature as you can see
<edit> so i just tried doing it in minecraft version 1.4.5 as i had noticed the server was in dev build for 1,4,4 as i hadn't changed it, now i have it now works like a charm :D

Hey there. How exactly do you "set bending to op only in the plugin itself"?
I don't see an option for that in config.yml.

For me it works fine... and you need to set all the bending as default only for operators in the bending plugin itself
@Wolfhowller
Wait when you are in chat you get null[Avatar]wolfhowller: Hello OR [Avatar]wolfhowller: Hello?
@penguin392

Thanks for telling me about PEX, but I don't need or want it. All I want to know is if there is a way to change the weird prefix I have from null[Avatar] to something else. I know your trying to help, but that did not answer my question.
I have searched around in the forum a little bit, but I don't think anyone suggested this yet. If it is possible, it would be great to be able to waterbend flowing water, like in a cave. Maybe I am doing something wrong, but when I try to target flowing water to use for an attack no smoke will appear. Anyways, just a suggestion for the next update.

Nope. It blocks commands, but people are still able to use their bending abilities in other worlds

Than don't use the chat system of bending but use anything else, I would recommend PEX! :P ! Wait I explain some math: Bending + PEX = AWESOME SERVER! :P (Serious you guys ask for multiworld, chat, leveling system, prefix and special commands, PLZ learn PEX and you can do all these features! I think Orion also uses PEX on all his servers, and would agree (I think :P)! But anyways try it once and else start a private server and learn PEX 1-2 weeks and you know all commands and how to make groups etc etc

Try to re download it in a clean bukkit and afterwards add all the plugins. And what craftbukkit are you using because me and some others have experienced some bugs in anything that is higher than craftbukkit 2503, so idk if that is it but else start over copy the worlds > start bukkit > put bending in > Start server > Put all the other plugins in > Done you are ready to play! :P

Posted Dec 14, 2012Could you implement the LogBlock API into your plugin? I love the plugin but some of the players that do bending use it to grief leaving no logs or any indication of who did it. Here is a link to the LogBlock API: https://github.com/LogBlock/LogBlock/wiki/API
