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.

Thanks, I already had PermissionsEx installed. I'm still a plugin noob, but I figured it out! Thanks for the help! And thanks again for an awesome plugin!

Thanks for the compliments.
As for permissions, they are handled by a permissions plugin, not the config file. Read up on something like PermissionsEx on how to disable permissions by default, and you'll be better off for it (it does way way more than control Bending).

Posted Apr 6, 2013I must say that this is an amazing plugin and very fun! Is there anyway to set the permissions to where they are not given by default to players? I have been looking around in the config file but can't seem to find anything that would allow me to do it. Thanks!

Anything that blocks damage blocks Bending's damage.
Perhaps you're using NoCheat? You have to disable ranged fighting checks for NoCheat to not block Bending's damage. Along with many other things. Bending does a lot of "cheaty" things, according to plugins that don't know any better.

I know Worldguard prevents bending from being performed but does worldguard stop it from doing damage to anything because I can't even hurt mobs.

https://github.com/orion304/MinecraftTLA/commits/master
That displays the last date the dev build was updated (over 2 months ago).
You can just keep track of this page, anytime the dev build is updated and put out, it will update. The link is also right below the dev build up there ^, called "commits".

Posted Apr 6, 2013Is there any way we could get the jenkins page to your dev build numbers? As I often find myself downloading and installing the latest dev build without actually knowing if it was any different to the last one I installed.

Posted Apr 6, 2013Attention
My computer's power supply has given out. It will be a little over a week before it is up and running again. Until then, I cannot update the dev build with the features I currently have on the test server.
1.5.1 Craftbukkit Beta is out, and the dev build works with it, I have been told by many people.
@animationhero421
I'll look into it, but I've been on my server plenty and even avatarstate lightning doesn't 1-shot anyone.
@Bca1849
I may implement it.
@Prothepheus
Replied at the top of this comment.
@ninjanat
I intend to implement this in the future, but right now it does not exist.
@robsherwood
This plugin will never be lag free. You cannot fix it. Cooldowns on abilities will be configurable, but are not yet.
@jeffrey2911
AirBubble and WaterBubble are, at the moment, identical. If you change AirBubble's radius, you change WaterBubble's radius. They will be configurable separately in the future.
@Bca1849
1) That will eventually be configurable.
2) Any plugin that blocks PvP will also block all damage from Bending. If two players cannot punch each other, they cannot deal damage to each other from Bending.

Posted Apr 6, 20131) Is it possible to make the range to select a source for surge shield different from how far it is from you? I want to be able to do this because if you want to have the shield 5 blocks away you can only select a source block 5 blocks away which is not very useful.
2) Do you know of any plugin that could stop bending from doing damage?

You need to enable TAGapi in the config of bending + check if your TAGapi is working before saying bending doesn't :P

Nevermind. Fixed.
Any way to prevent lag with this plugin? Maybe setting timers on abilities?

He did respond, and said there was no need to change it. You can bend from snow, item id: 78, you can pile them to look like snow blocks.
