BendingMobs Plugin

BendingMobs is a Spigot plugin that brings the elements from Avatar: The Last Airbender and Korra to Minecraft mobs.

Originally created by jedk1, it is now maintained and updated by Cozmyc. This plugin allows mobs to bend elements and can even disguise them as players using LibsDisguises.

Future updates will support custom mobs and models through MythicMobs and ModelEngine.

Features

• Elemental Abilities for Mobs: Mobs can use elements like Air, Earth, Fire, and Water.
• LibsDisguises Integration: Mobs can be disguised as players with custom skins.
• Planned Support for MythicMobs and ModelEngine: Create and use custom mobs and models.
• ProjectKorra Integration: If ProjectKorra is present, BendingMobs will use sound and particle settings from ProjectKorra and allow players to block some mob abilities with their own.
• Configurable Settings: Adjust damage, attack frequency, swimming behavior, skin names, and more.
• Ability to Fight Back: Certain entities like villagers can be configured to fight back.
• No Commands: All settings are managed through the configuration file. Commands will be implemented soon.
