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 May 17, 2013Would it be possible to add like a permission node to be able to choose more than one element?
Example:
Default group: bending.elements.one Can choose one element
VIP: bending.elements.three Can choose three elements
Admin: bending.elements.five (or bending.elements.all) Can have all elements (+ chiblocking)
Or is there any alternative way to make this possible?
Thanks.

Thanks for your help! what you said was exactly what i did
(- - bending.command.choose
I have the most updated PEX and everything else from PEX works except for stopping that command. Is there any other way i could stop people of one group from using bending choose? thanks!

I have not yet.
@Guccigod
Not currently, and probably not ever. Earthbending won't revert in chunks people are in out of safety, not out of aesthetics. I chose chunks rather than distance because it's a very very large load off the calculations the computer would have to do. Adding some configurable distance wouldn't be worth the weight it would put on a server.
On the other hand, there either is or will be a way to turn off reverting safely, allowing Bending to trap people in holes they've dug with Earthbending.

The dev build that you can find under "HELP! It's not working!" is compatible with 1.5.2, it also works with, I think all permissions plugins that are out there like BPermissions, PEX and groupmanager BUT most of the stuff is default like choosing a bending you can change that by adding a line that goes like: - -bending.command.choose if you add that to a group that group won't be able to choose a bending if they had no bending before!

Yes. Dev build.
@Guccigod
...You mean how it is by default? Earthbending reverts itself after 5 minutes if no one is in that chunk, and that time is configurable.

Posted May 15, 2013@Orion304 Could you please make it so that earth benders moves like Earth Raise and Collapse will revert back to how the world was after a certain amount of time? For example a water bender is fighting a earth bender and the earth bender uses earth raise and surrounds himself I want it so after about 10 seconds the earth will collapse itself back to the way it was before. If you could do this please let me know ASAP :) I really need this to prevent earth benders from causing to much damage in my server.

I'll make a special comment for you, codiaz. Thanks a ton for helping with these issues - even if half of them are solved by simply saying "download the dev build" (people can't read).
Fall damage from IceSpike... you mean because it knocks them up? How's it different from RaiseEarth in that respect? I need to know so I know how to fix it.
I have no ETA on any feature.
I believe you about TNT, I know what you're saying. Fireblast's fireball was replaced by TNT so it played well with other plugins. I finally managed to find a source of damage multipliers for difficult levels and fixed the TNT problem, hopefully. You'll be the first to tell me, I'm sure, when I release the build.
I understand your bug report, but the bottom line is: if it doesn't happen 10/10 times, then you don't actually have the cause. But I will look into it.

Yes, the dev build does.
@Bca1849
"Sometimes" is not enough information to find a bug to fix it.
@monstercat101
Thanks, I am aware of this.
@TeamCore
Because you don't have the dev build.
@mrcookiemonsterz
In 1.1.0, Bending respects the build flag of WorldGuard. In 1.0.7, it's the PvP flag.
@Incompy
There's a separate option under the config for FireBlast.
@MidnightChipmunk
It's implemented in the dev build. Just have a bottle of water in your inventory and bend. It's totally intuitive.
@Thenciouse
It is. The dev build.
@MidnightChipmunk
There are no permission nodes for bending from bottles.
@bradisawesomeo
It is, since all permissions plugins are multi-world compatible and Bending is compatible with permissions. Just negate the bending.* node in the worlds you don't want bending.
@robsherwood
As was asked not 5 comments below you, just have a water bottle in your inventory and bend. It's that simple.
You can have all the elements you want, but you cannot add them yourself without the node bending.admin.add.
@tcd4ever123
That's because the permissions for REchoosing is bending.admin.rechoose
@kunarkrules
It is up to date. Dev. Build.
@robsherwood
It binds to items by default if your server has that option set in its config. The option is Bending -> Option -> Bend-To-Item
@FakeTheRealHD
You mean the "Avatar" title? That comes from being an op, or having the bending.avatar permission.
@CyanLights
Probably not, since binding doesn't take that long. Having Bending remember that would nearly quadruple the size of BendingPlayers.yml, and there's not intuitive way Bending should remember what happens when, say, you add an element. There are not just 5 different choices, because of /bending add. There are 31 possible combinations per player for Bending to remember, and that's not feasible.

Posted May 15, 2013@Orion304: Hey there. Any chance of implementing a system where bending will remember the binds of each element for each player? It would cut down on rebinding when a player changes their bending type.

Not the fireball, I always hated that damn bending :P I ment the first one that did the same but not the tnt in it that is op as hell and is no fun at all and btw fireblast tnt on hard mode IS a one hit kill come on any server with hard as difficulty and I show you how easy it is. Also I never said in one of my msgs that TORRENT and watermani is the bug, cause no that is idd not the bug... I said SURGE + watermani is the bug just try it 10 times and I am sure 4 times it will create a water source in the air. And like the other guy said before it also happens with the wall if you hit it on the top of an iceblock, so I am not the only one.
@bradisawesomeo
Put -bending.* in the worlds you don't want it like with pex you do this: pex group [groupname] add -bending.* [world] So lets say you have a world called Bending and a world No-bending than you need to do this pex group [groupname] add -bending.* No-bending
@robsherwood
If you want to bend from bottles you will need to download the latest dev build of bending, if you get a bottle WITH WATER IN IT (id = 373) you put it somewhere in your back and take watermanipulation for example, than you only need to left click and you will shoot the watermanipulation from your body.
@robsherwood
To add bending to players you do /b a [element] [name] you will need op or the perms node to do so which is bending.admin.add there is also a perms node that you can add to a group to DENY them from being a certain element for example you have a group water but you don't want them to be fire, earth, air or chi you will need to add -bending.earth / -bending.fire / bending.air / bending.chi, if you done these that group can't be that element.
@tcd4ever123
There is also something called: bending.command.rechoose you will need that :P DO NOT ADD bending.admin.choose CAUSE than they will be able to choose bending of other players!
@kunarkrules
It is updated don't whine, if you have crashes than it is cause of something else maybe cause you have to less RAM or cause another plugin is interfering your server, you can try to re-install the whole server and download THE LATEST version of bending first! than read all plugins by just coping them from your old server. If you need more help make a new post but please with more information about the crash and how much RAM etc you got, I think the server crashes with the message: server heap space which means your RAM is to low to keep the server, than I would recommend you to get more RAM.
@robsherwood
/b bindmode [whatever you want, slot or item in your case slot] / so do /b bindmode slot

It binds to items on default (since I updated to where it has /b bindmode).

You must have at least 1 water bottle in your inventory (^.^) It doesn't matter what slot it is in (if doesn't have to be in a slot :P). After that, just bend normally :P The only difference is that you don't have to select a water source to bend (the water bottle is automatically selected :P).
Lets say you are trying to use Water Manipulation. As long as you have a water bottle in your inventory, you can just click (make sure that you actually have the ability bound to a slot XD) to "manipulate" the water :P.
Hope I helped XD
