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.

I will do other things to test lag.
@skywarp12321
Permissions, or become Op.
@codiaz
Also make sure NoCheat isn't interfering with it, since the damage from Fireball is dealt by the user, not the explosion now.
@Sekoshiba
Thanks. Make sure you have the latest dev build, as the Octopus Form bug was fixed in that one.
@kitzmaan75350
Ice never moved in that fashion in the series, and it won't in the plugin.
And no, bloodbending should not only be done at night. The Legend of Korra showed us that.
@cadika_orade
You don't understand. I didn't implement my own anti-fly code into the plugin to stop cheaters. I added it because without it, vanilla Minecraft would kick users. And I added the part which stops flying because if I didn't, users would be able to fly all over the place without commands or permissions.
It will be fixed, but you must be patient. As I posted, I'm not even in town for the next two weeks. If you really feel that your server would choose Essential's flight over Bending, then by all means disable bending. It will be fixed, but it has no ETA and will not be sped up by other circumstances.

I just updated to the newest dev build last week. Still no flying via Essentials' /fly or the pegasus class from the PON-3 pack.
Is there another new build out? I wish different versions were maintained with a decent changelog.
EDIT: Just tested. Latest build still blocks all non-Airbending flight. I have people on my server who donated money in exchange for flight. Why does this plugin specifically block all flight? Why go to so much trouble to add a feature nobody requested and everyone complains about?

? What you mean? On every single server with the newest bending, people can fly... Server ip?

Posted May 29, 2013As the owner of a large server, I have to say that people flying without permission is far less important than people flying with permission. I have PEX for blocking flight. I need you to allow bending, not try to block cheaters.
Could you please re-enable the ability to fly without Creative mode? My players love bending, but they complain constantly about not being able to fly.
If server owners want to block flying, that's their responsibility, not yours. There's hundreds of anti-fly plugins, and I use none of them because anti-fly plugins cause problems on my server. If you can't find a way to remove your anti-fly code, I'm going to have stop using your (otherwise awesome) plugin.

Posted May 28, 2013Hey Orion,
Tested out your plugin and official server about 6 months ago and only recently checked back with how things are progressing, it's obvious you've dedicated a lot of time and effort to this plugin- the amount of new features is awesome ;u;
Atm i'm running a server with a few players, no severe bugs at all although none of my players or myself seem to be able to use octopusform to attack mobs, it forms perfectly and all but the 'left click to attack' from the wiki does not work and any feedback (like if i'm just bein an idiot and doing it wrong) would be greatly appreciated.
Again, Orion. Thanks for this little jem of a plugin :)

That's a permissions issue then. Check that your players aren't trying to bend in no bending zones, as Lightning's permissions were unaltered.
@Toby_B
MySQL has been fully removed for now. The performance benefits from it are not existent in Bending by default since I reworked how Bending saves. It will be re-implemented, but in a read-only capacity.
@codiaz
Fireball is the proper name of a charge FireBlast, so I did mean it.
As for damage, make sure you delete your config so that damages come up properly. Fireball should be doing around 2 hearts of damage, and puts the user on fire. These things have been tested, so it's likely an issue with your server.
