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.

Such a feature would be mostly useless, and would also kind of undermine Minecraft's vanilla features (placing blocks). Also, that feature would only be good if bending didn't revert, which probably 90% of servers use its reversion feature.
@TheGreatestWaterbender
There's no map. This it just a plugin.
@nkomosim
The config will have everything in it, in time.
Saving skill sets is a bad idea for memory usage. Already, the bendingPlayers.yml gets pretty large pretty quickly. For x number of saved sets, that would multiply the size of that file by x. So if you do 5 saved sets (one for each element + chi), that's a file that's 5x bigger. Not to mention that people can do unique combinations of elements, giving you something like 120 different unique bending combinations, which would increase the size of the file by 120x.
Different configs for different permission groups is harder than it sounds, and I've found no easy way to do this as of yet.
@Namulator
It sounds like your issues will not be fixed even when I re-implement MySQL, since it is only coming back as a read-only capability. This was done to dramatically improve performance, since before this update Bending was constantly reading the text file (or querying the SQL database) each time anyone did anything, and now it has it all loaded dynamically and just saves the file periodically.
@JoeriX4270
When 1.7 comes out, we'll see what I'll do with it. Snapshots are hardly what the final version will look like.
Additionally, never in the series did bending get stronger by being in different places. Waterbending was "stronger" in the snow or ocean because there was water everywhere, earthbenders are strong underground because they're surrounded by earth, firebenders are strong in the desert because there isn't water around to douse the flames, and airbenders are strong in heights because they can easily knock others off. None of this strength comes from the power of bending, but just using geography to your advantage, and it wills stay that way.
@codiaz
If LoK implements something that's useful and possible in Minecraft, chances are I will implement it. That said, I doubt they will.
@iltkamil
Bending is intensive, but multiple worlds shouldn't affect its speed too much (beyond what Minecraft usually requires). That said, I have no idea about the requirements of such a server. Especially since you didn't mention the number of players...
@Trolltheking
You are doing something wrong, or there is an error in the console you're missing. Provide us with more information.
@J_Skulloz
Well for one it's /bending bind, and two make sure that you're using the item bindmode (/bending help bindmode).
@zanasxx
Make sure your factions is up to date and you can build where you're trying to bend.
@Studsonsteed
No.
@Trolltheking
If your config file is blank, you have the wrong version. Download v1.1.0 (the latest) from here.
@monstercat101
Fly can't be disabled without breaking about 1/4 of Bending. If the fly bug concerns you, use an older version of Bending. @kiammcquaid
Make sure you have the proper permission node done.
@zacattack48801
Nothing I can do if the download link hosted by Bukkit isn't working for you, but chances are you're the one doing something wrong.
@Konszi
Bending doesn't have plotme support. So you can't.
@kiammcquaid
Try the node bending.chiblocker.passive or bending.chiblocking.passive. One of the two should work.
@NeroTNT
HeatControl cools lava, I don't know why the nether should change things. Waterbenders and airbenders can also cool it in the nether.
@monstercat101
Bending already removes inactive players from its files, so it cleans up after itself.
@codiaz
I noticed that bug, that WaterBubble's radius doesn't properly mirror AirBubble's. It's been fixed in my personal build, but I haven't uploaded it.
@Ros3fir3
There's no special version of bending with different moves. Make sure you have the latest version, from this page.
@omfghaxpie
No I'm not taking suggestions, since they are generally impossible in Minecraft, like yours. Earth Shelter cannot dynamically pull earth from around the user to completely enclose them. The shift function of EarthGrab is the closest to that. Water pinwheel can't spin vertically because there's more often than not ground under the bender to stop it, also that was never shown in the series. Magnetization isn't possible because there's no easy way for a player to control going up a cliff face using Bukkit methods.
@najh98
I am using the build that downloads from the page, and am able to edit the config to my liking. This is an error that you are having, either from an old build or from something you're doing wrong. It is not a bug in the code.

Posted Sep 14, 2013I'm saying it is the plugin, because my laptop is fine and works great. It worked for all different plugins but not this one. So don't tell me that I don't have a great operating system, when this plugin is messed up. Orian Fix this bug/problem please.

Tsss... I think there is something wrong with your operating system if you are doing it all good... Don't say it is the plugin cause this one is working smooth in that point.

Posted Sep 14, 2013Orion are you still taking suggestions? If so:
Water pinwheel: This move involves the user moving a large mass of water and spinning it vertically around him/her
Earth shelter: This can be used by earthbenders to create a shelter or dome which can provide an instant shelter in the wilderness
Magnetization: Skilled earthbenders are capable of magnetizing their limbs to any type of stone, making wall-scaling simpler in the appropriate circumstances

Well I am not stupid, you forgot to say you saved it... and I can at least do it... Try installing the plugin again and this time be sure you have the latest version than do the same things again after you deleted the whole config and reloaded the server with the new bending plugin.
@Ros3fir3

Posted Sep 12, 2013Ok, so I save it to how I like it, I do save as: config just to make sure it's saved. I then check to see it it saved it, and it did to how I wanted it. Then I start my server and then when it's loading up my server I check to see if its still the same as when I saved it, It changed when I start up my server. Orian can you fix this bug please?

Posted Sep 12, 2013Orion you cannot change the waterbubble cause you said in the plugin waterbubble is automatic airbubble and airbubble is 7 by default but than at the class of airbubble you do check if the airbubble is changed for the radius of airbubble but not for waterbubble so waterbubble will take the default of airbubble which is 7... So can you at least fix that for the other people who install this plugin?

You forget to save the file, cmon read it...
@kiammcquaid
Than that is only for you? Or you doing it wrong...
@NeroTNT
Euhm why would it not become obsidian?
@Trolltheking
do /pex group [group] add -bending.*
@monstercat101
The bending plugin already gets rid of old players, I think players older than 30 days if you go https://github.com/orion304/MinecraftTLA/blob/master/Bending2/src/main/BendingPlayersSaver.java there and than change the 30 to lets say 7 I think you can change it to 7 days. But you need to import that into the bending plugin and delete the other .class
