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.

1. Water Benders can already heal one another by using HealingWaters.
2. Lava bending was only featured a few times in the series. Despite the fact that it was hardly even a part of TLA it would be nearly pointless to spend the resources it would take on such a limited ability. The only people who would be able to use it would be the avatar, and most servers only have one avatar.
3. You can add metal bending by adjusting the config options where it says bendable blocks.
4. This is a pretty good idea but it goes against the way that the series works. Every Water Bender rises with the moon and every Fire Bender rises with the sun. It is against the concept of the show to try and make it selective.
Slightly on the same topic, you can adjust the day and night ratios for most abilities in the config.

Posted Mar 26, 2013Hi orion, i have some ideas i want you to look into and i would just love it if they could be featured.
1. ==== So my first idea i've been thinking of is healing, the ability for waterbenders to heal another player using water. Check out this wiki page please, http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Specialized_bending_techniques
Katara used this technique.
2. ==== Lavabending, look at the wiki again, this was performed in the series by avatars.
Here's some info: Lavabending is a combination of earthbending and firebending, and its only known instances of use have been by Avatars. The first known user of this technique was a fire Avatar (that proceeded Yangchen) to make four volcanoes simultaneously erupt. Centuries later, this technique was utilized by Kyoshi to split her peninsula from the mainland,[24] and by Roku to destroy the Fire Temple during the winter solstice. Later, Aang demonstrated this skill while training with Katara. Yeah would be very cool.
3. ==== Just a small idea i thought of metalbending, maybe it could be used to "earthblast" an ironblock that deals a lot of damage, more than a regular earthblast. And you can also us it to move ironblocks while shifting, this means you can build your own gate of ironblocks as a metalbender and then smoothly open it and close it without destroying or placing any blocks, just moving them using your metalbending.
4. ==== Just as the "day factor", the power factor of a firebender when the sun sets and a waterbender when the moon sets, is it possible to add this as a permission node, for a specefied group, let's say you have a firelord on your server, and want that firelord to have a stronger firebending in general, dealing more damage than regular firebenders, then you could add this permission node and configure the power factor to maybe 0.5 so this firebender get more damaging abilities, just as the firebenders get stronger when sun sets. This could also be used to the avatar while in avatar state, that it gets a stronger in general power factor than other players, so its abilities basically deal more damage, and the avatar is a bigger threat and the firelord in this case. Just as the firelord Ozai in the series had stronger firebending than a regular firebender.
I think that was pretty much all for now, i hope you're open for ideas! Would be deeply awesome if you could consider add an idea or the ideas here. (Oh and i don't know if it's a glitch in the current bukkit build or with bending, but it seems like the fire particles is behind any water (block) even if it's 20 blocks away, it's like there's layers and the fire particles is in the background layer, the layer infront of water, hard to explain.) Thanks in advance, Regards, SebbeG17

Posted Mar 26, 2013Hey Orion! Just want to say your doing a bloody amazing job with this plugin, and I really appreciate the work your doing with it. Now, I understand with the last bukkit update a few features of this plugin were broken. The one I'm referring to in particular is fireball. On a server i run with a few friends, we have your plugin installed, and the only way to access it was to beat a temple/puzzlecourse to unlock it. Each temple is made to represent each element, and it's difficulty is based on the power of each element. Well, my main problem is that now without fireball, Firebending lacks the punch it had before. I'm wondering what are the chances of this move ever making a return, now that bukkit is updated and whether or not i can expect to see it in the future. tl;dr is fireball ever going to make it back? Cheers! Vectorcraft

Posted Mar 26, 2013Orion you turned bending off when you do surge and then try to bend that ice you made BUT if you do that on someone and then use icespike you can hit through THE ICE and kill the person in the ice while he can't do ANYTHING!!! So you can bend surge's ice with icespike! Plz just please turn that off :(

Posted Mar 26, 2013Excuse me, but I am so confused.I see all these videos with moves like shock wave,fire-burst, octopus form, and etc. I also have seen a server with it. Do you know why my server has different moves? i used to have wave and airs-pout, but they are updated. But I never had these moves when they were out. I don't even know if they are still out. Can someone explain why I don't have these moves?

I wouldn't suggest it if it wasn't working for me, in which case, I have had no issues, getting MySQL isn't difficult. Sorry to hear your having issues, I will take an extra look at my connections to it.
