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.

Posted Aug 1, 2012I don't think the plugin will NEED to be updated to 1.3, but it definitely wouldn't hurt. It should work as is, I don't think Bukkit is doing anything to break plugins this time around :)

Yea, other protection plugin will come do not worry. Furthermore we will try to improve the plugin performance wise but that part will probably be boring so we want to add new features first.

You can minimize lag, but removing it is very hard. Only run what you need, get rid of the rest. My server is fairly stable in the lag department, still has it's issues, but most servers do. Unfortunately, this plugin is quite intensive, so the BEST thing you could do would be just to remove all of the stuff you don't need. What I mean by this: You don't need a bunch of plugins that do the same thing, change your view distance in your server properties, change the mob spawn rate ( I recommend using Spigot for this, It's a nicer build of CraftBukkit) and run a decent garbage collector. This will help, but not solve the problem.

Posted Jul 31, 2012@Orion304 I know you are hard at work with this plugin and done so much with this plugin (my favorite plugin) But could you fix the "lag" that it causes. I use the word "lag" because i not sure what the problem is, and i'm hoping you can tell me. I run a server with this plugin and it makes my server shut down often because the server is quote "The server is overloaded" and it was never like this before, so if you can do something please do. Thanks for reading and i hope to hear your reply!

Here's a quote from Orion.
"Make mana/energy/chi required!" No. Not only is there no good way to do this visually and interactively server-side, it fundamentally goes against everything set in the series. Name one episode where someone struggled to bend because they lacked the required energy. There's only one episode where they even mention exhaustion from bending, and that was in The Drill after cutting through an enormous steel pillar. And even then, they never stopped, showed no further signs of fatigue, and went on to fight directly afterwards with no ill effects. Bending time and again is nearly effortless on the shows (with a few minor exceptions, like Bumi launching the statue of Ozai off Omashu, but even then he wasn't worn he was just struggling with something so large), and it will be that way in this plugin, period."

Yes, it does seem a bit extreme as the only other Firebender we've seen "battle" a volcano/lava was Fire Lord Sozin and he didn't directly bend the lava. He did do some interesting things while battling like suck out toxic fumes and heat from the lava which most definitely aren't fire.
I have a tendency to think of the "fun" factor before practicality or accuracy, and I think being able to explore the bottom of lava rivers could be really fun. But you're right, it's not exactly something we've seen alot of people do. Lava seems to be one of those things that two benders could potentially manipulate, like the slurry that both Toph and Katara were able to bend. Likewise, I think lava could possibly be something both Firebenders and Earthbenders could bend, given they have enough mastery and control.

The thing is, lava is more Earth than Fire. I mean it's molten rock. Also, you know extinguish will cool lava? Because that would handle all the dangerous lava while you dig with adventurers. Sure it's not a lava bubble, but I really don't think that's a firebender ability to begin with.

I know that only the Avatar was seen bending lava but it is an ability seen in the show and creative liberties are always a must for the sake of fun. It just depends on how far you are willing to take these liberties. I was mostly thinking of making a Firebender that wasn't combat focused and Lava Bubble would be a nice addition to their repertoire along with those abilities you had just named.
Firejet Doesn't benefit other players, extinguish is also very situational though more likely as you are a firebender, heatmelt is another very situational power though still very useful, illumination is possibly the most useful ability for groups of adventurers as everyone gets the benefit. I was thinking of adding another ability that would have group benefits and not just benefits for the bender doing them.
