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 May 19, 2013Hey Orion, been gone for a while so this may have already been mentioned but I've just had a thought, bear in mind there may have been a change to it in my absence I've an idea to balance bloodbending; Rather than have it do what it did last time I checked(you could control them like a puppet) just have the same damage tick you used which didn't actually hurt them and make them spin 180. I got the idea as the first bloodbender they encounter, who's name I cannot recall, turned Sokka and Aang on Katara, much like turning the target around.

Like I said with the pressure plate, I'm not going to make Bending overwrite it. It's a redstone component, and overwriting it even for a second is liable to break something.
For wool carpets, I will probably do the same thing, for consistency.
@robsherwood
Interesting. Create an empty file "bendingPlayers.yml" in the folder with your server.bat and try again.
@Grwm
Check that you're not having the same issue as robsherwood.

For some bendings it is customize-able but like stuff like watermanipulation is always a globalcooldown of 1 sec so they can't spam it, which could before, before the latest build

Posted May 17, 2013Thanks! Orion. One last question, does the permission nodes for bending.fire/water/earth/air.Passive need to be capitalized? or is .passive fine?

Posted May 17, 2013By far, one of the best plugins out there!
However, would it be possible to add compatibility with plugins like CoreProtect? CoreProtect is an anti grief plugin and tracks whatever players do to the world. However, it doesn't track things like blocks used while bending (say, absorbing blocks for water bending, using earthtunnel and earth moves, etc). I don't expect it to track things like a surge wave but just the blocks the player used to be able to bend.
Thanks.

First of all 20 ticks is 1 second why do you else think it says 20 TPS (TPS = ticks PER SECOND!) stable is 20! + there is already a delay on how many bendings you may use in a certain amount of time. If you have lag get more RAM don't blame the plugin cause we all know it is a high CPU + RAM using plugin.

Posted May 17, 2013How about this as a precaution to server lag, maybe x amount of bending moves can be performed within 2000 ticks? Like in the config, you can have a field such as: movesPerSecond: 2 (defaults to 2, or something low like that) (2000 ticks = 1 second) movesPerMinute: 80 (defaults to 40 or something conveniently low) (120000 ticks = 1 minute)
So that means only a max amount of 2 moves can be performed in a second, and a max amount of 80 in a minute.

Choosing a specific number of elements probably isn't going to happen for a variety of reasons.
@Thenciouse
The node is bending.command.choose, as you have written. Does it matter that you have a space between your second - and the node? Shouldn't it be "- -bending.command.choose"?
