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.

Yes /b a [element] and /b b avatarstate [slot], Done! :D
@Aphrion
It is a test server, orion makes the rules + firejet is more a mobility move not a move to run, in my opinion.

Posted May 24, 2013On the test server, is Firejet supposed to be as slow as it is? Or is it just me and it's always been like that? Seriously, though, it's like 3-dimensional sprinting-not an awesome blastoff. And yeah, I guess I kind of am whining. Sorry, but I still would like to know.

I don't think I've uploaded that fix yet, since I was also working on other things to fix it.
@ummbobee98
Thanks. And that's what I figured about the code. Bending isn't some lightweight plugin, it's really really extensive. You can see from the code why it's not necessarily ever going to be fast. As for custom cooldowns, you will see them in patch notes when they are implemented.
@Bca1849
1) I -could- but I do not think I will. Surge and RaiseEarth are directional - they only block what hits them from the right angle. AirShield, on the other hand, blocks everything around you. If AirShield were made to block things like EarthBlast, then an airbender would be totally invincible by pressing shift, something I'm not keen on doing.
2) The sandstone reverts, and it's not a bug.
3) I don't want to let waterbenders create water from air inside a cave just because it's raining outside. That seems silly.
4) The trees they bent from in the show were thin, whereas the thinnest tree in minecraft is still 1 meter across. Additionally, logs are often used in buildings and I'm hesitant to include yet another way for people to grief. And trees would look quite weird with blocks missing from waterbending.
Snow blocks don't occur in nature, so for the same reason cobblestone isn't bendable, they will not be.

Tcd you can just make a group for each element and then have the server move them to the group when they choose a bending (You can even do it with command blocks and a button) and just have the perms for each group.

1)Can you make what moves the shield moves block changeable in the config? Air shield only blocks firebending moves which doesn't make it an effective defense considering raiseearth and surge block all moves and air is supposed to be the most defensive.
2)I'm not sure if its a bug or done purposely but if you earthbend sand it turns to sandstone. It just kinda makes things look weird when u have patches of sandstone.
3)I know you answered this before but couldn't you just make waterbending work in rain everywhere even if you can't see the rain (because I know it is client sided).
4)Can you make plantbending work with logs because they bend from trees in the show and can you make snow blocks bendable? I don't think they should dissapear when you bend from them though (snow blocks).

@tcd4ever123
I want to, but it's not as simple as you might think to make it robust and user-friendly.
@spartynjb
Use permissions or make yourself Op.
@HadesDude
Thanks, I'll check it out.
@Bca1849
You cannot for now.
@ummbobee98
The source is available on github. Good luck.
@codiaz
HeatControl is one of the simplest bending moves. If it broke, it's probably a bug with Spigot.
@Bca1849
That feature was removed a while ago from bugs and uselessness. It may eventually come back, but for now the text just hasn't been updated.
@robsherwood
Bloodbending doesn't work on Bloodbenders.
@ummbobee98
Custom cooldowns will be implemented, though there are already global cooldowns of 250ms, and cooldowns on individual moves like EarthBlast. Cooldowns aren't going to solve the lag problem.
@ummbobee98
Large servers need large amounts of CPU power and RAM to run Bending. It adds animations, combat, and many many other computer-intensive features. You cannot expect it to run smoothly all the time.
