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.

That's correct. It was necessary to do, to redo how Bending information was saved in v1.1.0.
@alessandro100
That didn't happen in the series, so it won't happen here.

Posted Aug 7, 2013You can also train water, if you train good with icespike and you try to spamm multiple and you train that (like i do) then your posibble to shoot like 10 icespike`s at the same time so no shards needed..

How are the blocks going to come from different places? They can't very well be on top of each other, and you have to select a source, so they all have to come from that. They don't travel fast enough to have multiple come from one source. And these huge blocks are supposed to be shards in your interpretation, but they're not. They're 1 cubic meter of ice. So it's a bit too powerful (look-wise, not damage-wise) for a bender to launch several huge hunks of ice with one move. That's what I meant.
@alessandro100
That's in the FAQ.

Consult your group manager plugin, not me. Learn how to use permissions. The nodes are listed on this page, everything else is to do with every other plugin you have, not Bending.

Posted Aug 7, 2013sorry, what i was saying is the move ice spike, when you fire a block of ice, obviously you cannot get shards and that isnt what i was pointing out. i was saying to have multiple blocks going into the cursor? sorry for not making myself clear. and om not very good at the programming and stuff ( i have tried myself but gave up rather quickly) so you will know what can and cannot be done better than me. but how is rediculous, because you have to charge the move to make it strong? it doesnt seem so rediculous to me.

Well since shards are significantly smaller than blocks, it would look a bit ridiculous to have multiple 1m^2 blocks that are supposed to be "shards".

Posted Aug 7, 2013Thanks for the answer, orion. but there is one thing that is in the series about ice spike. with ice spike, they could fire multiple shards (aka blocks) so i had an idea. perhaps you could select a water source but hold shift at it to charge, then when you fire it it shoots multiple blocks of ice that all go into where you click, and this deals some extra damage? that would be pretty awesome if you could do that. if you cant that is fine after all this plugin is already good!

As was said, use permissions.
@FreakAboutSims
They cause a large amount of lag and are disabled on that server only right now.
@JoeriX4270
Bukkit only has a few animations, and white smoke is not one of them.
@Phyore
It looks like somehow your bendingPlayers.yml file got corrupted. Simply delete it.
@l3entley
All bending moves are done. There are no other moves in existence that fit the strict criteria for being added to the plugin. In order for a new move to be made, it must

Posted Aug 7, 2013Hey orion, I was actully wondering, You can use white smoke for AirBending (Like if an sheep dies you see like an white smoke effect) Its posibble to use that for plugins etc, Maybe you can add it? It would prob be more realistic if you use this for airbending since the airbending now is black XD
