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.

Yes, you can do that with your favorite permissions plugin. Just take your default group and do something like "-bending.*" or however your permissions plugin handles negation. I'd recommended reading how to use it.
@shadowmanexo247
I have no support for 1.5.1 at the moment (it's not even released yet). Moreover, I'm curious how you managed to scavenge for the development build of Bukkit but are having difficulties finding the development build of Bending to try it. There are many links above for that.
@SpicyBlueZombie
That's not within the scope of a server-side plugin.

Posted Mar 31, 2013I want to let the players buy abilities using ingame money. I only gave the players 2 perms in each Element so they can only use 2 Abilities but they can still use them all. I think it has to do with most abilities being default. I was wondering if there is a way to make it so they aren't default

I understand the analog, but waterbending is quite different in the code. No matter the source, you end up bending water. Instead of earthbending, which can actually move the original block.
If you can come up for a reason why you'd actually want to change which blocks, I'll hear it out. Otherwise, the config is bloated enough as is to add something no one will touch :P
@codiaz
I can't address any 1.5 issues until they release something stable (like a beta). As for the custom damages per player, I'm thinking on it. But anticipate nothing :P

YOU ARE GOD!!! And hehe you're right with the tenzin thingy but I thought he could feel things like when someone shoots something to him he makes a VERY quick reflex and dodge it :P But ye that can also be reflexes :P, Thanks man!
@orion304
And about the user friendly thing you can make it like PEX, you can go real deep into it or you use the basics :D
@orion304
I also think I found a little bug since 1.5, Idk how but people create a lot of water in my arena, I think it is cause of that new water setting of 1.5

The reason I want to be able to change waterbendable blocks is because you can change earthbendable blocks in the config and I just thought it would be fair to have that be done for water.

I'd like to do that, but haven't come up with a feasible way it can be done (there are a lot of configuration options that can be changed player-by-player, which makes user-friendliness an issue).
@codiaz
What you just described with Tenzin - that's what I meant by reflexes. Never once did an airbender say "someone's here, I feel it" or anything even remotely like that. There are ways to justify it sure, but not any that are based on the series. Maybe when season 2 of LoK comes out we'll get more insight and bending moves (if it's even possible in Minecraft, which I doubt).
As for the saving, MySQL just happens to be the reliable thing right now. You'll be happy to know that I've finally gotten around to altering the way Bending saves entirely, and am testing it on my main server right now. Hopefully I'll release the dev build incorporating it tomorrow.
@Bca1849
Why would you want to edit the list of waterbendable blocks? There are only a set amount of plants and water...
Watermanipulation cannot be made to take a better path - pathfinding is both computer intensive and doesn't look like Bending at all.
Watermanipulation can follow your cursor, just keep clicking to redirect it.

Posted Mar 30, 2013I know I am always giving suggestions, but I still have another one lol. Can u make it so that in the config file you can edit what blocks water can be bended from? And also can you fix how water manipulation doesn't work from leaf blocks if they aren't the top block. And, one last thing, can you make water manipulation follow your cursor like torrent? Or maybe just hav it do that if you shift twice.

First of all, you can see that tenzin feels things coming AT him so yes it is used in the series... And second I am now using MySQL... Ok it does good with bending safe but to log in it takes HOURS since I first need to connect to my host which is slow at least if you want it for free and I think that is for everyone the problem so ... I think MySQL is not an option for the normal servers...

You're using the development build of Bukkit and surprised that Bending doesn't work on it? :P Though people have reported that the dev build of Bending works on it.
And if you're the admin and op, you already have permission for the AvatarState. Just bind it.

That's also not something done in the series, besides manifesting itself as faster reflexes (which cannot be put into Bending).

Than maybe something for air? That people in "vanish" get more sparkling surrounded so the air can see them (this only happens for 10 blocks around the airbender). But I guess that is also not possible :P.

That's a great idea, and one I had thought about earlier. Unfortunately, the entire concept of Tremorsense detecting people is that there is unbroken earth between the player and the other. With Bukkit, there exists no non-computer-intensive way of doing this.
