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 still don't know what you're saying. Bending handles falling blocks really well, since they're just entities. You can launch TNT and falling Sand/Gravel with airblast. Are you suggesting that airblast make already fallen sand fly?
@Phyore
That's exactly what's causing it, yes. Except that doesn't narrow it down any.
@Jemhan
Add all the elements with /bending add, be an Op or ge the bending.avatar permission for the title/color.

Okej you have primed TNT which moves well... you know... :P smooth, so people kinda use this but give it the ID primed TNT but the looks is from something else like you can see in one of sethblings video's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zt5KYD2QgSo&feature=share&list=UU8aG3LDTDwNR1UQhSn9uVrw and if you want to see this in a "game" go to mc.hypixel.net and than the TNT game (Wizards) and take the kineckt class if you use the defence stick well you will see what I mean :P I hope you will do this and maybe do some research into it, it would be a huge and awesome step for bending.

Posted Aug 13, 2013I do know about the fly bug, but the conditions under which it happens are still pretty slippery, so I haven't been able to find a fix. Temporarily, killing a player or having them log out when they have the fly bug should fix the issue.
@codiaz
I don't know what you mean by that.
@monstercat101
I have tried to reproduce this with /b reload and WaterSpout or AirSpout without success. I do not deny the existence of the fly bug, but I do not believe this is a cause.
@darkdox
I recommend using ServerSigns. You could block the ability to choose an element, and require players to click a sign which will choose an element and put them in the proper group.
@alessandro100
In Avatar, they never showed damage or death from bloodbending. Yakone strongly implied that he could do so on Aang, but then the Avatar State happened. It's plenty strong enough as is, and already is OP, so it will not do damage.

Do you know if it would be possible to make bending waaay more realistic with that option, that blocks can move any direction like when you shoot a falling sandblock with airblast it moves like it is not a "solid" block? Or is that not possible with the hitbox of people? I hope you get what I meant else you can simply try to do airblast on falling sand :P

Give yourself the permission node bending.avatar to get the Avatar prefix.
Then just add all of the elements to yourself using /bending add Air|Water|Earth|Fire

(Not orion, but responding nonetheless).
Bending requires no additional plugins to run, but it supports many other plugins. This plugin list includes WorldGuard, PreciousStones, GriefPrevention, CreeperHeal, and Factions.
Additionally, my own plugin (Probending) has been made to hook into Bending.
@alessandro100
Almost, if not completely, restricting a player's ability to move is definitely OP. There's a reason it isn't given to Waterbenders by default. I don't see damage over time as a future feature, but hey, I could be wrong.
@zegers14
Deny all of the Bending permissions. (All permissions are listed on the Wiki)

I also have this fly bug. An easy way to see it is when I /b reload, whilst in an waterspout, it will then enable fly mode indefinitely. I use /fly, to disable it for certain players. But of course it can always happen again.

Read the FAQ. Any sort of additional animals would require a client side mod. Bending is a Bukkit Plugin, not a client side mod.
@darkdox
No, the best thing you can do here is find a plugin that checks when a player uses a command (the bending choose commands) and assign them to a group based on their element. You cannot (at the moment anyway) assign an element based on group.
@Tunix2
Set all of the chat features to false in the config. That should do the trick.
@alessandro100
Bloodbending is already extremely OP at the moment. I doubt a damage over time feature will be added in the near future.

@codiaz
Still sounds like your solution to the fly bug is server specific.
