Event: Gaoling Team Bending Tournament: Discord
It's time for our ninth iteration of the bending tournament. This time, you'll be doing it in teams! See below for the details.
- When will it be?
- The event will take place on Saturday March 28th at 8PM UTC. Please use your trusty friend Google to find exactly what time this is in your time-zone. We understand that some people may not be available during this time and will make an effort to have them at varying times in the future.
- How do I join?
- Please join the discord (link at top) and sign up in the Tournament Chat or message a moderator / chat moderator in-game.
- Am I limited to the bending I chose?
- No! This event will take place off the main server by doing "/server event" once the event is open for joining. You will be able to select any bending you wish and 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 to have 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 there be stats and levels?
- Just like on the main server you will have stat points to allocate using "/c". You will be automatically set to max level and have all moves available from the moment you select a bending. 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.
- 2 vs 2? How will that work?
- Assuming there are enough players and an even amount of sign-ups, the tournament will be in a 2 v 2 format. We will try our best to make the teams Newbie + Veteran vs Newbie + Veteran.
- You'll be able to damage your team-mate, so make sure you pick elements that complement each other and ones you know how to control.
- If there are not enough participants to make a fair tournament, we will revert to the normal 1 v 1.
- Will there be stats and levels?
- Just like on the main server you will have stat points to allocate using "/c". You will be automatically set to max level and have all moves available from the moment you select a bending. 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.
- Will there be rewards?
- First Place: 500,000¥
- Second Place: 250,000¥
- Third Place: 100,000¥
- Participation: Everyone who signs up for the tournament and participates in it without missing any matches will receive a participation prize. This will consist of 6 cosmetic heads and a tea leaf. First, second and third place winners will receive these as well.
- How do I join the Discord?
- You can simply click the hyperlink at the top or bottom for a direct invite. Below are instructions to link your AvatarMC account with Discord; however, this is not required!
- First, you need to create an AvatarMC Forum account by performing "/register" while on the server.
- Once you have the forum account set up go to discord.avatarmc.com and log in with your forum information. This will link your account to your Discord account.
- If you already have an AvatarMC Forum account but don't remember your log-in information please contact GuoKao.
- Various notes on how the event will function below:
- The tournament will operate off of a public leaderboard that you can request the link to at any time (after the tournament has started).
- Veterans will face veterans in the first rounds, and newer players will face newer players. Veteran players will fight first. This is to give the new players an opportunity to watch and learn from the fights before and give them a better chance at beating a veteran player.
- Players who lose in the semi-final fights will match against each other to determine 3rd and 4th place.
- Time will be controlled so that Firebenders and Waterbenders will receive their day or night damage boosts throughout the fight for only part of the fight. High noon bonus and full moon bonus will not occur in any fight.
- This tournament is not only a way for you to earn free money, but also a way for us to gain balancing opinions on the elements. After the tournament do not be afraid to share your opinions on the server discord or on the forums!
If you have any questions regarding the event, you can ask in our discord, announcement on the forums, or message a moderator in-game.
We hope you join the fight on Saturday, March 28th at 8PM UTC! Discord

Greetings and salutations, readers! Evie here once again to deliver the news. As promised in Issue 54, we've got some fun stuff to show you. Only this time, these are being released now. Amazing, right?
FNC Interiors
For the main course, the Fire Nation nobility have finally decided that no, they won't live in empty houses, and yes, they'll hire a few interior designers to get the job done. Explore the imperial capital like never before! We've even included some fun new buildings, including the FNC's very own War Museum (pictured above)! That's not the only new addition, but the only way you're finding them all is by heading there yourself. I'm not sorry.
Having trouble remembering commands? We've just the thing. Introducing the Information Book! In this nifty collection of paper bound by leather, you'll have access to all of the menus and relevant teleports that you'll ever need. New players will get this book automatically, but if you're still playing on the server through the power of VHS (like me), there'll be a vendor in your bending capital - next to where you spawn in. Seek them out to get your hands on one!
Dialogue System Rework
All of our existing dialogue has been painstakingly brought over to the new system. If you're downloading the resource pack manually, you'll need to update it for this one (via the site, same as usual). Definitely worth it, though, to go talk to an NPC and not have them give you a book instead of, you know, talking to you themselves.

Hi there, folks! Evie here again with another Soon™. This one'll be brief, but rest assured our teams are working on much, much more than this, so stay tuned for other sneak peeks!
FNC Interiors (Sneak Peek)
That's right! Caldera City (or the Fire Nation Capital) is going to be getting some swanky new interior designs. On release, explore them to your heart's content, and see just what this imperial center of power will have to offer!
Note: These interiors should be coming to a lobby server near you in a few weeks time.
Twitter: @avatar_mcInstagram: avatar_mcFacebook: Avatarmc - Minecraft Server
Our server now comes pre-equipped with its very own social media accounts! Now you can easily keep yourself informed on the latest releases on several different sites.
Dialogue System Rework (Sneak Peek)
This one's for those of you that just adore immersion. Gone will be the days of reading books (who does that, anyway?), and in their place shall be a shiny new design that's a lot more readable.
Note: This dialogue rework isn't in-game just yet. Soon™.
That's all for now, check back with us next time for more cool things to look at!
