A quick show of hands. How many here watched the Nickelodeon animated program Avatar the Last Airbender (Avatar the Legend of Aang outside of the United States) and/or the most recent series The Legend of Korra?
I've been curious as to rather or not bending could be added to Minecraft. I noticed that there is a similar mod out there called Wizardcraft where one crafts staffs to use elemental magic, but this isn't exactly like bending. I'd imagine bending would have more limitations. Like when starting a new game, you'd get a menu that asks you if you wish to be a Waterbender, Firebender, Earthbender, Airbender, Avatar, Non-bender, or Random.
I also imagine there be a "Chi" bar that depletes whenever you do a bending move. This is probably the same as Wizardcraft's "Mana" bar. I have no idea how martial arts could be added to the game if it's even possible, but maybe just simple animation like what the Smart Moving mod adds. I also like to think that the in game level bar would be attached to the "Chi" bar in that if you're level 50, you'd have more chi to use to do such bending moves.
I also figured that bending could be both a nuisance and a blessing.
Firebenders could probably just shoot fire at a furnace to fuel it and don't require flint and steel.
Earthbenders would probably be good at building quick shelters.
Waterbenders would most likely not need the use of buckets.
Airbenders would not need the speed potion to go quick and fall gently down if they jump too high.
Avatars would be the ultimate cheat.
Non-benders would basically be the default game.
Random is random.
Anyway, I'm just curious if such a mod could actually be possible or not. I'm not getting my hopes up since I figured this is beyond impossible.
I too would like this!
I know the motions:
Air is quick and fluid motions,
Water is Slow and fluid motions,
Earth is Slow and abrupt motions,
Fire is Fast and abrupt.
they are cool, and I think things like eating certain Foods or teas would limitedly restore your Chi.
massive fan of avatar <3 I'm new to modding, but i can udnerstand the coding, plus my brother is qutie familiar with coding and hes teaching me. In a few weeks to a few months i can be modding, but for now, i can still be a great use, i can do textures and such. I also have some ideas we could use add me on skype (siegeofmoon)
i have some ideas on the bending it self, earth basically able to lift and manipulate solid block (weak ones), fire, well, fire, water having a very tricky form of water manipulation, and air, clueless
This is possible. There's already something like a firebending mod out there, called Particle Man.
Of course, if you wanted to take it a step further you could use this mod
Sadly there are apparently no mods for any other forms of bending. I dabble in Lua and HTML, so one day I might be able to do this myself, but for now, I'll leave it to someone with more experience.
Suggestion: As well as the amount of Chi available increasing with your in-game level, also increase the power of the bending.
Example: An earth-bender can only levitate weak blocks, such as dirt and sand, at a low level. However once a player reaches a certain level they can levitate much stronger blocks such as obsidian, (or maybe just ore blocks to sort of tie in with metal-bending).

Nice idea. Kind of like that.
EDIT: If anyone wishes to discuss this project further. I have a new forum and made a thread specifically for such a project.

I agree with everyone but especially this. also we should make the last airbender or legend of korra map on a server it would be coll i have a server but it is hamachi reply if possible.

Those mods are pretty cool, but is it really possible to have something like the particle man except with open hands (nothing in inventory)?
Also, I've been thinking on starting a new build project that I could perhaps make into a server. If anyone is interested.
It's the pro-bending arena from The Legend of Korra.
