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.

It will be, but it's not high priority.
@RenKyoKrishna
That's not Bending. That has to be a permissions issue or some conflicting plugin that's preventing them from building (and thus bending) in places other than the nether.

The most recent version of Bending requires the most recent version of Factions. Otherwise it will not work.
@kingseth111
Be an op or have the permission node bending.avatar to get the Avatar prefix.
@Hockeythegreats
All commands and permissions work out of the box. Unless you've altered some permissions, they can use /b ch <element> without issue, if they don't already have an element.
@TroublesomeTrio
By the way - Bending 1.1.0 is released, so the dev build isn't necessary to have.

Try the config sometimes it messes up
@Hockeythegreats
If you have the DEV build it should be /b choose (Element) if that doesn't work then you have the other version which you have to type the whole thing out I suggest getting DEV if you don't have it.
@Da_Confusiox_Box
I believe that is a bug I suggest upgrading to a newer version of minecraft like 1.6.2

The command is "/b choose water" (or air or fire or earth). The b stands for bending which also just works as a b.

For the leveling, I am not making this RPG-esque, as written in the FAQ.
And the elements certains do not get the same moves. Earth and Water are a bit similar in their WaterManipulation and EarthBlast, Fire and Air with the way AirBlast and FireBlast, AirBurst and FireBurst look, but that's where the similarities end. There aren't enough code-able moves from the series to give each element any more moves than the 9 they have, and they are all rather unique and satisfy different purposes while being similar enough to make balancing better.
@kjb345
Chiblockers were never shown cleansing as you suggest, so that simply will not happen. It also simply isn't a fun mechanic for the person subjected to it.
@Nerdfuryz
Bending performs numerous calculations every tick of the server for each move that's running at the time. More people mean far more moves that can be running. Additionally, anti-griefing implementations of Earthbending and Waterbending make every tick also calculate when things can be reverted. Simply put I don't think I can reduce the lag without completely rewriting many many things - and even then I don't know that it would fix anything. I understand the frustrations, I do, but I don't know it can be helped.
@Danzeee
I believe that's an obsolete config option, since most of the Chiblocker damage has been moved to RapidPunch for balancing reasons. We'll see if that config option comes back.
@Nerdfuryz
Well to be fair, he's telling you his server specs (with one big difference - Linux not windows) and that he doesn't get lag. So obviously there's something to be done.

So don't tell me it isn't strong enough.
Also the splitting up your server "idea" is idiotic.

Ok here it comes, buy your own hardware I7 (strongest of them all server hardware maybe got more CPU's but not more power) use linux, get the best RAM and use an advanced script that allows you to use more than 1 CPU! and run it on RAM, I got with 32 GB of RAM and a I7 CPU more than enough and I never lag even with 52 man. Oh also maybe split your server up in 2 and make them work together so it looks like it is one but the survival world is another server or something like that :P

Posted Aug 2, 2013Unforunate. This is truely a fantastic plugin but there is no way to reduce this lag. I even moved to a very strong server box to see if it would reduce some. I have now removed the plugin and it is much better now, if you ever figure out how to reduce some of the lag let me know.
