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.

Basically no new abilities, it will stay at 9 per bender (not including Chiblocker)
@combsb97
They both still exist and have been unaltered, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.
@Trw1999
As I wrote above, there are only 9 abilities per bender, to keep in line with the number of slots you have. Picking and choosing which abilities you want doesn't feel right, and I've already exhausted basically every move that fits my strict requirements to make it into the plugin.
@HadesDude
You'll need to tell me how.
@Cecelo126
I did, thank you very much :D
@PvPSquid
Thanks, glad to hear it!

Posted Jan 30, 2013Having a bit of trouble with Group Manager perms. I have everything set up like it should be. My Group Manager and Essentials is up to date but when players try to choose an element it gives them the don't have permission error message. They can check the available elements with /bending choose but when they try to actually pick an element it gives them that error. Does it not work well with Group Manager or am I missing an essential perm like Bending.choose?

Posted Jan 29, 2013Are you planning Anything else for this plug in? As much as I would want you to make a mod with double the moves and avatar world mobs I don't think that's going to happen but I think this plug-in is awesome and I want to see more hopefully that will happen

If you did not manually remove the permission to Shockwave, maybe you do not have it. Make sure you have the development build for all the latest features (like Shockwave and Torrent). If you do, then you have (through your permissions plugin) removed the node to shockwave, and for assistance with that you should look towards whatever permissions plugin you use.

Posted Jan 28, 2013Just a quick question- the server I play on uses this plugin, and we love it. However certain abilities such as shockwave are not available for use. I am assuming that these abilities are restricted to OPs, but I may be wrong. If they are restricted, how do we make them available to everyone? And if they are not restricted, what went wrong?

The bubble literally did nothing (it wasn't a shield, it was mostly for dramatic effect). That bubble would fall under #3, because you can't do that with Bukkit. Then it turns into IceSpike, which means it falls under #2 because IceSpike already exists. See what I mean?
@Zap9919
Permissions. Look 'em up.

Because the suggestions have been done before, Bukkit has limitations, and in order to make a new move it has to fulfill a certain number of requirements - which no new move fulfills.
Lavabending is something only avatars have done (and only two of them that we've see). Certainly not something general firebenders can do. I'm not going to make Avatar-only moves beyond the avatar state, I don't want it to be exclusive.
For the ice bubble shield, that was never displayed in the series.
The criteria for making a new move are:
1. It has to be true to the series. It has to have been displayed in the series (either A:TLA or LoK).
2. It has to have a function legitimately separate enough from the existing moves to warrant adding it.
3. Bukkit has to have the capability of adding it.
Every move that everyone suggests violates at least one of these. Lavabending violates #2, the ice dome shield violates #1 and #2 (you have WaterWall already).
Everyone suggests new moves. Every single one violates one of those criteria. I have been programming this plugin for over 7 months now, I have long since decided not to justify my reasoning for declining suggestion after suggestion, or the only thing I'd be doing all day is justifying to the hundreds of people why their idea won't work.
That's why.
