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.

No reason to make it mandatory to the point that it makes it incompatible with other extremely popular plugins. I've used plenty of plugins that add flying and hovers and launching of players without the server kicking anyone as you say it would. Haven't had a plugin do that since early Beta, in fact. You just configure the server to allow flying. No more getting kicked!
My point was that in one sentence you say that you did not disable flying to stop cheaters, and then you immediately say that you disabled flying to stop cheaters.
Regardless, I, and I suspect many others, would be happy to use this plugin without the added "security" which we already get from dedicated plugins that do exactly that. Frankly, my server has always been vulnerable to flyhacks, and while I am capable of adding security for it I have never needed to. Now your plugin design says "you're stupid for allowing flyhacks, so if you want bending you aren't allowed to fly unless I say so".
My point is, sir, that your plugin is quite nice, and you clearly know a good bit about making plugins. However, I would maintain that I know how to run my own server and if I say I don't want an anti-flyhack system, then I don't want an anti-flyhack system. Your insistence that you have the right to make this decision for me simply because I want to use your plugin is, to be honest, very insulting.
Now, I have people quitting my server and canceling donations over this. If you do not make the anti-flyhacks optional by the end of the month, I'll have to discontinue using your plugin or else I won't be able to pay my server rent.
I love your plugin, as do most of my users. Unfortunately, your design decisions have rendered it useless. Please stop forcing your server policies on your users and focus on making an epic plugin. If anyone has any business running a server, they can manage their own security.

You should check the F.A.Q., as there's an entire question devoted to that.

Oh my bad, there is no way for that yet. That would be pretty interesting however.
@Mrdementor2
To be able to bend they have to be in an area that they are allowed to build and break in. What you can do is make an arena and use world edit to schematic the area. Then if the arena gets too damaged you can just paste the schematic back over the other one.

Excuse me? I had no reason to disable flying?
You think this plugin would have gotten anywhere if it necessarily meant that every single user would have creative mode flight without the ability for ANY permissions or command to stop it?
Hardly no reason. And I would think that creating this plugin would necessarily mean I'm quite good at logic (which I apparently need to learn to do?), or have you really learned so little about programming that you don't realize it's 97% logic?

"I didn't implement my own anti-fly code into the plugin to stop cheaters."
"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."
Derp. Learn to logic.
As I said, you had no reason to disable flying. Could you at least make the anti-fly optional? I have no issues on my server with dishonest jerks using cheat clients because my users are mature and responsible adults. They are, however, not capable of coming to a consensus between bending or flying. As it stands, everyone has now become an airbender just so they could fly again.

You can implement your own system that is based on experience, I did this with money. I recommend looking into variable triggers. Deny all players the abilities that you don't want them to have and then when they purchase (or have enough experience) you grant them the permission.
You also shouldn't criticize blood bending until you watch The Legend of Korra.
@marinescu0511
What do you mean by power? It is slightly weaker on the new update just like Torrent, but that is only because they had an issue before the last Dev Update.
@Incompy
Check your worldguard flags, even if you are an OP it is still possible to not be able to cast lightning in forbidden areas. Check the Build/construct/Lightning/ and the TNT flag, for some reason lightning also seems to be restricted by the TNT flag (at least it was in my case).
@orion304
I appreciate the revamp of Firewall, it is better than ever and does not cause TPS lag in the slightest. Out of curiosity are you planning on reworking PhaseChange as well? It seems to cause some heavy lag if you let one phasechange stay in the water for too long.

Again, this isn't something that Bending does. I have no idea what's going on in your bug, but it's not anything anyone has experienced with Bending, that I know of.
@kitzmaan75350
If what you're saying is a bug (it's hard to understand you, are you complaining that Torrent ice can sometimes not be PhaseChanged? That's a bug) then it will be fixed.
Yes, the title of this page is Minecraft: The Last Airbender, which means it's steeped in The Last Airbender's universe, not bound to the first series.
For your question/suggestion about XP, check the FAQ about the RPG part of this plugin.
@marinescu0511
Probably because you don't have the dev build of Benidng.
@Incompy
Maybe 1.5.2 Bukkit changed how Lightning is created? Are there errors in the console when you try to create lightning? Does it charge up and create the smoke you're used to?

Posted May 30, 2013Ah, people cannot seem to use Lightning in the main world, not even I can. It just doesn't strike.
I looked through all of my configurations that alter worldly mechanics and lightning shouldn't be blocked. I can use /smite in the normal world and it still strikes. Is this a bending issue or did I derp up something on my server?

You use worldguard, factions, towny, or any other grief prevention plugin this supports. And the dev build of Bending.
@smack17
Right, read the "known issues". Or any of the recent comments.
@skywarp12321
This is not a bug I've heard of, so it's likely something to do with your server specifically. I cannot help without more information, I suppose.
@kitzmaan75350
I do not need to recheck my sources, I am quite firm in them actually. In Avatar: The Last Airbender, waterbenders changed the form of water and ice quickly back and forth, but never made ice "flow" in the way you suggested. They formed ice walls (an ability in this plugin), threw ice shard (another ability in this plugin) and encased people in ice (oh look, another ability in this plugin). But they did not cause ice flows.
And, as I said, in The Legend of Korra bloodbenders were not bound by the day/night cycle. Yakone, Tarrlock and Noatak all could bend under any circumstances, without even hand gestures. Use the wiki if you must confirm.
@Syrest101
Thank you, and I'm glad you can be patient with it. Believe it or not, this fix isn't an easy task. Bending is a huge plugin, and a load of abilities require bending Minecraft to its will which loves to interfere with other plugins.
I have some ideas for fixing this bug, but still, it will take some time before I can even investigate the ideas given my vacation.

Posted May 29, 2013Waiting on flight fix as everyone else, but I would like to say Thank you for working so hard on this, as much as we complain about what you have done we are all still here begging for this plugin, and none of us have done it on our own. So thank you! Its hard for me to wait but I will. Again thank you for your love of the series, your work on this plugin and your crazy ability to stay sane while responding to the same comments by so many people.
