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.

Well, it's not really supposed to be human-readable or even necessary for the user to open anymore. But I agree it should probably go in the Bending folder.
@theMegaWhopper
WorldGuard support is already added. Just flag a region for no PvP and bending is also stopped in that region.
No. Creative mode flight would be way unbalanced, and I'm unwilling to add a "glider" to the game. Read the FAQ, as I just updated it to include this.
@sanny1995
How do you think it works? They get some passives, and when they punch a bender the bender cannot bend for a few seconds.

Posted Jul 22, 2012Hey, I have 2 requests/suggestions for the plugin. 1. Can you make it so in WorldGuard protected areas when you bend it doesn't affect the land? 2. Can you add creative mode flying for airbenders? I was thinking maybe have it so you can put a stick on your chest plate spot and it would be a glider, or just have it assigned to a slot like other moves(the second might be a bit better and less op since you would only be able to bend when your not flying)

Posted Jul 22, 2012Also, I recommend putting the bendingPlayers file in the Bending folder. I don't quite understand why it is in the root of the server.

About the Avatar State, I think it may be op only. I'm not completely sure.
Make sure you have chat enabled in the config. Also, if you're trying to get the purple Avatar prefix (or whatever if you changed it) that's OP only as well.

Lightning? Read the FAQ.
Custom items and mobs are client-side, I won't be doing any of that.

Not only did this fix a bunch of bugs, but it also opens up a lot more. For example, you can now have an unlimited number of WaterManipulations going at once.

Posted Jul 21, 2012So I've managed to fool around and put the current development build to automatically update.
You can download it here, hopefully.
It's developmental, which means bugs could be anywhere. Use at your own risk. I'll also be putting this near the top of the page.

Thanks for the compliments :D
So I did some searching through the code and found the issue. AirSwipe's cooldown is actually hard-coded to be identical to Fireball's cooldown, no matter the config option. So does that explain things?
I'll be sure to change that for 1.0.7.

Posted Jul 21, 2012This is the most fun I've had with any plugin. Even on my server all the users are pretty much demanding that we don't update to 1.3 unless this plugin has updated with it. We've tried many plugins before and most of the players on my server either didn't like them or were apathetic about them. The chair plugin? Waste of space. The warp plugin? They'd rather travel on foot. The bridge/gate plugin? Too complicated to bother with. The Last Airbender plugin? MUST HAVE!!! Congratulations on making what is possibly the most interesting and fun plugin ever made.
Now that I've told you how I feel about your work I would like to ask a small question concerning some yml coding in the config file. I've been altering a few things for the bending to suit our server and what the players want. One thing we've noticed is that the move AirSwipe has an extremely long delay between casts. It is much more than a second which is what your description said it would be. I've gone in to the "cooldown" part in the config file and tried to change the time by changing the number there but no matter what I do I can't seem to reduce the cooldown of the ability.
We wanted the only air ability that does damage to be the fastest ability of all bending (while still retaining it's low damage output) so that an airbender may stand a better chance against an earthbender. Could you please tell me how I'm supposed to change the cooldown for the ability AirSwipe? No matter what I set the number to it doesn't make a difference.

Posted Jul 20, 2012To give a bit about what's happening in 1.0.7 (there is still no release date)
Fixed a bunch of bugs with waterbending Changing some things with firebending Fixed the server starting up with binding to items if the config hadn't been created before Chiblocking added Making it far better with Minecraft's native flight detection and NoCheat. Should be able to grief-proof your servers once more Fixed firebenders being able to bypass chests completely
Just some highlights, so if you have bugs to report check that they aren't here.
