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.

Then you likely have something conflicting. Not sure what your plugin list is, nor would I be of much help, but I know something like Towny's Chat might Conflict, HeroChat, etc.
Check into those, see if that's causing the problem. Once again, not 100% sure.

@dzundaza
Just make sure that chat is enabled in the config, other than that, there very well could be something conflicting. Turning compatibility to true may help out a bit, not too sure.
About the ocelots to lemurs, that could be done with a texture pack, not a plugin.

Posted Jul 24, 2012I'll understand if this is a no, but could we try bloodbending on your server Orion? Maybe we could have a demonstration if we can't try it.

Posted Jul 24, 2012I have an idea. How about a texture pack for all the nations. So that you can see where you have your powers instead of having to remember. Of course for this you would need to make the powers be bound automatically.

Don't think so on the train bit. That seems like a super-situational ability and it seems too strange to make a passive for it. For FireJet, that should already be fixed in the dev build.
@theMegaWhopper
The idea of "a good defense is a good offense" is fundamentally against what airbenders are about.
@xboxjh
That should be fixed in the dev build.
@rasnyderiii
Botz147 is looking into Towny slowly but surely. We may expand chat compatibility to other plugins.
@dzundaza
I will not be adding lava bending. Only avatars could do that, and it's too situational for me to make an avatar-only ability. I don't really know the easiest way to explain the difference between client-side and server-side. It's a lot. But client side would involve the players to get a completely different version of this plugin (called a mod) so it can hook in with the server and give more functionality. There are a lot of reasons I won't ever be doing this, one of which is that I wanted to make this plugin require nothing on the player's part.
Server-side only means that you have to deal with what already exists in minecraft - no new animals, items, textures, blocks, effects, etc.
@hotwing10
He's correct. Bloodbending is in the most recent dev build of this plugin, and is by default an op/admin feature only. The node is bending.water.Bloodbending but is not including in bending.water.* (or bending.*), and is included with bending.admin.* so it's default to ops.

AirBurst is coming soon, that seems like a pretty powerful Airbending move.... after all the description does say it's the most powerful in the airbender's arsenal.

Posted Jul 23, 2012Will you add more abilities for air benders? I feel like they need another offensive ability since airswipe is the only one, i know Airbender are more defenders, but a large part of a good defense is a good offense

Posted Jul 23, 2012Also, there's a bug with firejet, when you use it it will permanently remove fall damage until the user dies.

Posted Jul 23, 2012So, as we saw in the series, Earthbenders were used for moving the train, so I was wondering, would it be possible to allow Earthbenders to control their minecarts? This could be used a trolley on servers.
