Official Bending Server
IP - minecraftTLA.us.to

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.

Hey, I thought, instead of making appear a glowstone block under the player when he uses Illumination or Tremorsense, it could be more realistic make appear only the light, like happens in this plugin before shooting an arrow: TorchArrow
And perhaps making appear fire around the firebender while using Illumination like in this plugin: BlazeOfGlory

Posted Aug 5, 2012I cannot control my water manipulation shots, but with earthblast I can. Why? it's annoying. Earthbenders always hit. Or is there something I can enable it for water benders?

You might want to talk to the developer of that Mod when it comes to something like that. Sounds like a problem with the mod.
This works perfectly fine on any CraftBukkit server. Sorry for the inconvenience. Hopefully it's fixed rather soon with this plugin.

Unfortunately, I'm running craftbukkit using this mod:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1397894-131-betterlan-v03-01-bukkit-lan-servers/
And whenever this kind of message pops up, it stops the loading of the world, and I don't know how to get around it.

You can't, but everything should work. It's just an annoying message when the server starts up, I haven't noticed any problems with the plugin itself.

Posted Aug 4, 2012Here is an idea I thought of, I think the Avatar bender would work better if players could equip one element at a time, and add a new ability called "cycle" for the avatar that allows cycling through the elements. It would work so the avatar player could choose the abilities for each element like normal benders, but when he/she uses "cycle" a message would show up saying something like "fire" or "you have chosen fire" something along those lines. One more thing, is there any kind of avatar state? If so, how does it work?

The plugin itself works with 1.3. The message is for most plugins using the deprecated chat API I believe, everything should still work though, I haven't run into any errors :). I would like to see it fixed though.

While it would be cool, I cannot rationalize how bending water within plants could make plants grow faster, period.
As for healing mobs, maybe. The issue is that we have never seen healing done to non-humans, so it may be an anatomy thing, or even a chi thing.

Posted Aug 4, 2012Hey, I was just wondering if plantbending actually sped up the growth of plants when you have it selected. Also, I was wondering if healing waters can be used on mobs.

I just updated the page with a list of known issues. Refer to it now :)
@Cecelo126
Ah, that is a good point. Perhaps it would be better/easier if getting that message were a permission node, then you could set it to false in those worlds. That's probably the easiest and best fix.

Posted Aug 4, 2012Hey, I am using your plugin and its great. But I need help. I am the owner and watermanupulation only damages players when I use it. It only damages zombies and pushes players when others uses it even if they are op's. Can you help me fix it please?

2) If I have, for example, 2 worlds, one of that is only for bending, and in the other has only a RPG plugin, the messages will still appear in that world...
3) Ok, I see, don't worry, I don't want to argue

Add negative permission nodes, if using bPermissions it would be:
^bending.air.*
If using practically anything else it would be: -bending.air.* as the node.
Read the documentation for whatever permissions plugin you're using.

My server has a complex ranking system built in as well. If you want, use a worldguard blacklist to stop the creation / use / obtaining armor and set it to ignore your master rank.
