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.

Posted Aug 14, 2012I'm attempting to host a server with bending, however the bending completely lags the server to the extent of me being kicked. Is there any way to stop this lag?

Not of Bukkit, of MinecraftTLA. If you have 1.0.6, of course you don't have bloodbending. Download 1.0.7 or the dev build of 1.0.8 (read the BukkitDev page for it).

What version of the plugin are you running? Are you sure you're an op? Are you running a permissions plugin?

Ops have bloodbending by default, just bind it When I try it thinks I'm typing the command wrong this is what pops up: Use /bending help <page> if you want to see a list of permissions. Use /bending help <ability> if you want to see how to use it. Use /bending help <command> if you need help with a command.

1) I haven't finished yet ;)
2) I'll check. Looks like you're right, should be fixed in 1.0.8 when I upload a new dev build.
4) Moving in a tornado is still faster than airspout in some cases, and provides you extra protection. I don't think it's useless, but perhaps I'll remove that functionality so an airbender is unaffected by their own tornado.
That's an interesting idea with Tremorsense, but I'm not really thinking I'll add that. There's no real way to tell that there's earth connecting the user and the player (an integral part of Tremorsense), and plus you can already just see their nametag :P
@BloodLunger
Ops have bloodbending by default, just bind it. http://minecrafttla.wikia.com/wiki/Bloodbending for more information.
@ZebraSmallz
Lightning isn't an op ability actually - anyone can use it. I managed to balance it out in my opinion. Bloodbending was added because it is an integral part of the show, and it being OP by default was not a good enough reason to ignore it. So I made it op-only. Waterbenders that aren't ops are still getting 9 abilities excluding Bloodbending. All the abilities are planned out, you won't be disappointed.
@TheOcultado
I decided to make Earthbenders no more OP (in Minecraft creative terms) when it comes to resource-gathering. So, no, I won't make it so earthbenders don't even require a pickaxe.

Make sure you have one of the newer dev builds, then use the permission nodes for Lightning and Bloodbending. Bloodbending: http://minecrafttla.wikia.com/wiki/Bloodbending Lightning: http://minecrafttla.wikia.com/wiki/Lightning
@DaPandaStare
Good to hear :). Glad you got it fixed.

Essentials may mess with ChatFormatting. Not sure how you would fix without completely removing Essentials though. Play around with the Essentials config.

Air and Earth ARE getting a new move or two. Check the wiki for more information on these. Not much is there on the new moves though. Read the FAQ when it comes to Metalbending. Earth JUST got EarthArmor in a recent update.
Also, I believe abilities are for the most part set in stone, they just haven't been implemented.

Posted Aug 14, 2012I'm mainly asking this for a coding limitations kind of thing. Is it possible to give the fist of someone (an earthbender) the properties of a stone pickaxe? I'm only saying this as whenever I played as an earthbender the main thing I did was mine but when I needed delicate mining I was always very inaccurate with earthblast (I killed myself...alot) so I was thinking it would just be logical for earthbenders to be able to punch through stone as if it was dirt.
