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.

"I've been thinking of something like that for EarthBlast for a while, but ultimately I will probably not do it, since when you stop focusing on that block, it would have to fall again. It can make for some weird situations you might not have thought of. I also kind of like how you have to prepare earth before launching it."
What about making it raise the block like when you raise other blocks with other abilities, but this only raises 1 block and changes it, and if they don't click anyone after 10 seconds it goes back down and changes back.
Or maybe even just does nothing and remains how it was for later use? So an earth bender could find a field, raise lots of blocks, then go taunt some other bender and lure them into the field and just toss stuff at them.
Also, have you seen the Entomb spell on the http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/magicspells/ plugin? Perhaps an ability like that.. or maybe the earthgrab can drop the user 1 block into the ground and raise 4 blocks around him like 1 in front, 1 in back, and 1 on each side. He'd have to place blocks to climb out.
As for freezing people... With Wave, it's kind of tricky because you have to quickly look up before you lose the water and send it where you want to go. I didn't even know it had a freeze ability. WaterWall looks cool and is easy to use. Maybe there could be an option in the config for those that want to engulp someone in water with WaterWall and freeze them? Sure they can break out, but it's still fun. That and maybe making an ice fortress out of some tiny island in a lake...
I'm gonna' subscribe to your plugin. I really like what you've done so far.

This plugin will make any server cry, if you have enough people on there. This message you're getting will be there in 1.0.7 too, it's saying your computer is not running the server fast enough. Not really anything that can be done. I run with 4GB of RAM, don't know the specs of the processor.

Posted Aug 15, 2012Hey Guys I have two questions @Orion @Mist 1)If you were to guess at what the specs of a computer should be at to run this plugin what would you say 2) Im running the dev build of this plugin but my minecraft server keeps says (the server is overloaded or did the server time) change something like that then it crashes later on, Is it because i'm running the dev build, and not the 1.0.7 or because of the specs. And What would you advice you would give Thanks and Love the work you guys are doing!

Remember, this is bending, not spells. Abilities will be in line with that. All the abilities are fleshed out, there's no room for new abilities :P
There are some abilities with cooldowns and others with charge times. Liberally use ./bending help <ability>

yes , thank you (: amazing mod ! some ideas:
fire: meteors (ghast fire charge from the sky) flaming arrows rain (not too much arrows)
water: snoballs rain (like fire)
earth: earthquake (the player will jump high and make damage to all the player\mobs near him. it will cause a big hollow so players and mobs will get falldamage too !)
and question: sometimes it takes a lot of time to cast spell . is there cooldown? or its a bug?

They do. And fire immunity if they have ControlHeat (Extinguish) selected.
I guess your problem is fixed?

To reiterate, it says
you have to change the path in your server.bat file, replacing "jre6" with "jre7"
You see where the "jre6" is in your path? I'll bold it for you.
@ECHO OFF SET BINDIR=%dp0 CD /D "%BINDIR%" "%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit-1.3.1-R1.0.jar PAUSE
Change it to jre7. Viola.

I plan to add more support for grief protection plugins - for now the only thing it respects is permissions and WorldGuard.
If you have the most updated version of the plugin, those pools should be completely fixed. Most were fixed in 1.0.6.
I don't know if you've noticed, but using WaterWall to freeze someone wasn't going to work from the beginning - people can just walk out of the ice that's 1 layer thick. If you want to freeze someone, use Wave's freeze ability.
Nope, you don't swing your arm with a right-click, there's no way to catch that. Plus, you'd rather accidentally burn everything around you by placing a block instead of sneaking?
EarthGrab can't be any smaller without suffocating the person and looking terrible.
I've been thinking of something like that for EarthBlast for a while, but ultimately I will probably not do it, since when you stop focusing on that block, it would have to fall again. It can make for some weird situations you might not have thought of. I also kind of like how you have to prepare earth before launching it.
@BadJoker1
You're putting MinecraftTLA_v1.0.7.jar in the plugins folder? Copy and paste what's inside your server.bat file here. Yes, you need to edit it. From the page and paragraph at the bottom of the plugin details, it says "After it's installed, you have to change the path in your server.bat file, replacing "jre6" with "jre7" in there. If you're still having issues, google is your friend."

Posted Aug 15, 2012Please make this plugin not allow bending on claimed areas claimed with the GriefPrevention plugin. It's really cool, except if someone becomes an earth bender they can destroy someone's buildings.
Could you also set water bending to not take from water, but make a copy of water instead? It keeps making those little pools where water flows and you have to use fixwater on it.
And, can you please make it so once you've pulled water out with WaterWall and surrounded someone, then frozen them in the ice, it leaves the ice blocks there? When I stop holding down Shift, even if someone is encased in ice, the ice disappears. :(
And, can you change the Shift click of Blaze to be a right-click instead? When people sneak or something they accidentally burn people around them.
Annnd, can you please make EarthGrab not be so big? It takes up a large area.
One more thing... please make it so when you are trying to throw earth at people, the block doesn't have to be on the surface. If you shift click a block on the ground and it changes, then you click an enemy, it won't hit them unless the block was already raised to not be part of the ground. I'd like it to move up 1 block reguardless and then fly to the enemy or something.
If you fix this stuff, that'd be really cool. Thanks! =)

The entire goal of the plugin was to only use vanilla, and it's actually incredibly successful at doing so :D
There is no better name that is unambiguous, since James Cameron's Avatar exists.
Your computer is going to have a tough time running this. At least with more than 1 person. It's quite intensive.
