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.

Posted Aug 2, 2013Hi Orion! You don't know me, but I'm a friend of Mist's. I really wanted to suggest this idea to you. So you know on bending servers they have an avatar sometimes. Chi would feel pretty bad that they'll never be an avatar (as Chi is not an element). I was thinking you could add a super move to Chi (such as Bloodbending) so they could have an avatar thing on servers. I was thinking it should be called Cleanse. Now, I know you're thinking that it permanently removes a player's bending, but no. It would only remove it for 10 or 15 minutes. To use it, you'd sneak from a 2 block radius or smaller. They'd have to be in that radius for 3 seconds, and their bending would be gone for like 15 minutes. Used on Chiblockers, it would have no effect. If the whole concept of it not affecting Chiblockers won't work, then just have it disable their powers also. I hope you can really implement my idea (although you've probably had this idea a lot before.)

So I checked what you've reported and cannot reproduce it. It seems I thought ahead at the time, and '/b reload' properly stops all flight. I tested this on the current dev build, but the commit history shows that it should be the same on the real uploaded version (v1.1.0).

Nope. Bending adds a lot of new features, there's nothing that can reduce lag. Some abilities cause more lag than others (like Air/WaterBubble), you can pinpoint them and disable them, I suppose.
@zanasxx
Tremorsense has an active too, you know.

Posted Aug 1, 2013YAY! They finally got around to approving Bending v1.1.0. Download it for the latest and greatest!
Until I set up a CI server, the dev build of bending cannot be hosted on this page. Instead, I recommend favoriting the link: https://github.com/orion304/MinecraftTLA/raw/master/Bending2/.devbuild/Bending.jar
@Rhidzla
Do you have the latest version?
@monstercat101
That would be a bug. I'll fix it in the next dev build, but until I get a CI server, Bukkit won't let me host said link here. I'd suggest favoriting it for now.
@jsay333
Factions updated and renamed a bunch of crap. As such, I had to update how Bending called Factions.
Your error can only be fixed by updating Factions. We all have to adapt to updates we otherwise don't want.

Posted Aug 1, 2013I'm using the dev build of Bending with a Factions version for MC 1.4.7. My craftbukkit is 1.6.2. I'm using an old version of Factions because it's the newest version that works with my chat plugin (http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/factionschat/). All the bending elemental abilities are working like airbenders can jump high and earthbenders don't take fall damage but when I try to use the moves I get this for example (I tried to use shockwave): 2013-08-01 11:35:22 [WARNING] [Bending] Task #8 for Bending v1.1.0 generated an exception java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/massivecraft/factions/listeners/FactionsListenerMain at tools.Tools.isRegionProtectedFromBuild(Tools.java:1337) at tools.Tools.canBend(Tools.java:1143) at tools.Tools.hasAbility(Tools.java:809) at earthbending.Tremorsense.manage(Tremorsense.java:155) at main.BendingManager.manageEarthbending(BendingManager.java:197) at main.BendingManager.run(BendingManager.java:111) at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_6_R2.scheduler.CraftTask.run(CraftTask.java:53) at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_6_R2.scheduler.CraftScheduler.mainThreadHeartbeat(CraftScheduler.java:345) at net.minecraft.server.v1_6_R2.MinecraftServer.t(MinecraftServer.java:522) at net.minecraft.server.v1_6_R2.DedicatedServer.t(DedicatedServer.java:226) at net.minecraft.server.v1_6_R2.MinecraftServer.s(MinecraftServer.java:486) at net.minecraft.server.v1_6_R2.MinecraftServer.run(MinecraftServer.java:419) at net.minecraft.server.v1_6_R2.ThreadServerApplication.run(SourceFile:582)

When a player is in waterspout and a staff member types /b reload, the spout dissapears from under the player and they can then fly as if /fly, were enabled. I have a timer set, or should I say, had, for /b reload to execute every 5 minutes as I find it helps reduce lagg. Is there anyway to fix this?

Posted Jul 31, 2013Bending is getting reset for some players on my server, not all players, just a selected few. I'm the only one with access to add/remove bending. Any idea what might be the cause?

It most certainly does. 1.1.0 hasn't be approved by Bukkit, which is probably your problem. Download the dev build.
