As spring blossoms, we welcome the cherished Earth Kingdom festival of Kyoshi Day! This joyous occasion unites all in honouring the legendary 230-year-old earthbending Avatar and her remarkable legacy.
Join us in the festivities as the vibrant community of Kyoshi Island hosts a celebration for everyone to partake in. Pack your bags, and journey to Kyoshi Island to complete some quests while catching up on collecting this event's cosmetics!
Take a look around and you might spot some new faces in town!
Note: For players that manually download and install the server's resource pack, remember to get the latest copy to access all the event's models and textures. Players who rely on automatic resource pack downloads need not take action.
Quests
Archeological Research
Archeologist Gulao — near the fallen tree, upstream from Kyoshi Village — is looking for someone to help with their research. Explore the secret ruin and find the hidden treasure at the end of the maze.
Chasing History
Ruolan has been dragged into portraying Avatar Kyoshi for the annual ‘Kyoshi Day’ celebrations in her village. This is the centre piece of the festival, but it looks like stage fight might've got to Ruolan. Help her prepare and make this the most memorable Kyoshi Day ever!
The Fisherman Race
Fisherman Yisi in the Kyoshi Island harbour is looking for someone to race. Set a course for the light! Complete the parkour, and end up at the lighthouse.
Sous Chef
Every good festival needs catering, and this one is no exception. Help Chef Yuun create the traditional snack of Kyoshi Day... unfried dough! Who knows, maybe Chef Yuun will teach you her secret recipe?
A Wild Turtle Duck Chase
Hinro — the local turtle duck farmer — has lost one of his prized turtle ducks. Follow the trail of eggs to bring it home!
Maze
Delve into the catacombs beneath Kyoshi Island, and explore the secluded shrine raised in her likeness in the same year that she passed from this world and traversed into the next. To reach them, speak to Gulao near the Kyoshi duelling grounds, across the river and inside a patch of trees.
New to 2025: The Archeological Research quest has been added to the maze, giving out 25,000¥ upon completion.
Parkour
What's an event without a bit of parkour! Head down to the harbour and jump across the water towards the lighthouse.
New to 2025: The Fisherman Race quest has been added to the parkour, giving out 25,000¥ upon completion.
Cosmetics
Up for a bit of role-play? Why not grab one of our themed cosmetics and take on the role as your favourite Avatar?
From Roku's luscious beard, to Aang's smooth head, these costumes are the perfect way to celebrate Avatar Day! To honour Avatar Kyoshi, the esteemed Warriors of Kyoshi have kindly gifted one of their headdresses for you to own.
If you'd prefer to instead look back on how Avatar Kyoshi created her home island, why not grab the famous helmet of Chin the Conqueror?
To own any of these, simply talk to Tonra in the village.

Welcome back to the Gaoling Tournament. Did you miss us? We're aiming to run these every other month for a little while, with the hope that we have enough demand to bring them back every month, just like the good old days.
Please join us if you can!
Event Details
The event will take place on Saturday, April 12 at 19:00 UTC. We suggest using World Time Buddy to work out exactly when this is in your time zone.

Once you have the account set up, go to discord.avatarmc.com and log in with your newly created credentials. This will link your AvatarMC account to Discord and provide enable Players role.

Tournament FAQs
Am I limited to the bending I chose?
No! The tournament will take place off of the main server and is accessible by typing /server event once the event is open for joining. You will be able to select any bending you wish and cab change it at any point before the tournament officially starts. The Event Server will be open 30 minutes before the tournament starts to allow players time to pick.
Will there be elytras?
At the moment, we have decided to not provide elytras for players to use. These can be used to avoid combat completely by Airbenders and serve no purpose in combat since they are disabled after taking damage.
Will we be able to eat to heal during the match?
No. In the past when we've allowed food and healing, matches lasted far longer than anyone felt was enjoyable. Because of that, health restoration from eating will be disabled.
Like previous bending tournaments, there will also be no Professions items permitted during the tournament.
Will there be stats and levels?
Just like on the main server, you will have stat points to allocate by typing /c. You will be automatically set to max level and have all moves available from the moment you select a bending type. You can reset your stats throughout the tournament to change your build based on the bender you will be fighting by speaking to the stat spirit near spawn.
Rewards
Everyone who signs up for the tournament and participates in it without missing any matches will receive a participation prize. This will consist of 32 spirit essence and four decorative heads. Winners will receive these as well.
- First Place: 250,000¥ + Championship Bracelet
- Second Place: 150,000¥
- Third Place: 75,000¥
- Fourth Place: 50,000¥
How the Event Will Function
- The tournament will operate off of a public bracket that will be posted in
#event-announcements on Discord and in chat at the beginning of the tournament. - For this tournament, the brackets will be semi-randomized. Players will be fighting against other players who may not be of similar skill level but could be disproportionately higher or lower in skill level. Matches can be semi-balanced based on the pairings, but it is no guarantee.
- Depending on numbers of participants, the tournament will either be run in a single elimination format, or a double elimination format. Double elimination means that players will get at least two fights, as you have to lose twice to be knocked out.
- Time will be set to sunrise, so no advantage can be gained for either Waterbenders or Firebenders. The arena will also contain water sources during fights featuring Waterbenders.
If you have any questions regarding the event, you can ask in our Discord or message a team member in-game.
We hope you join the fight on Saturday, April 12 at 19:00 UTC.
