Hey, it’s Evie here for the 29th Weekly Soon™. We apologise for the month’s break in blog posts, but it’s been pretty quiet around here. Now that’s over and done with, on with this week’s changes!
Redstone Bending Detectors
Yes, you read that right. With this new change, you'll be able to operate redstone with your bending moves! Right now this is restricted to a certain list of moves due to limitations, but it's pretty cool nonetheless. You'll be able to purchase five kinds of this detector - one for each element, and another that will work for all of them.
The moves that you can use on the new detectors are:
- AirSpear
- WaterBlast
- FireBall
- EarthBlast
You'll be able to buy these in a shop located in Republic City (12007x 5692z) for 2500¥ per detector, so get to it! A test facility has been built on-site for prospective buyers.
Regarding Tea Leaves
The policy regarding tea leaves has been updated – you can now apply to host a tea leaf location in your town! The requirements for this are as follows:
- The build in question must be of decent quality and unique/original. No, you can’t copy the last guy’s build for a tea leaf. Building a decent but ultimately generic tower won’t suffice, either.
- The tea leaf location, as well as the road leading to it, must not be in or near any area explicitly designed for PvP (excluding arenas and wilderness chunks).
- There must be a road from one of the canon cities, or alternatively, a fast travel node should be close nearby. Additionally, the general area it is located in must be clearly signed along the road so that it is findable.
- Obstructions are not allowed, and gates leading to it must be kept open at all times.
- It must be possible to World Guard the area to prevent player modification. Additionally, a respawn point must be provided.
- In the event of a war, these rules can be put on hold, albeit temporarily. However, you must inform the admin or tea leaf staff immediately, so that they can remove the location until peace is restored and the area is considered safe.
- Any abuse of the World Guarded region during war or in general will be severely punished.
- Contact information must be available so that the tea leaf team can get in touch without needing you to be on the server.
- Finally, a majority vote amongst the active tea leaf staff must pass once all previous requirements are met. This will be done before a tea leaf location request is granted.
Bug Fixes and Changes
- Your screen will glow red when you are low on health, making it easier for you to realize when to run in a fight!
- The /towny top command has been fixed for those who aren’t mayors!
And that's a wrap! Stay tuned for further developments in the world of AvatarMC!

Hello, and welcome to the 28th Weekly Soon™! While it's been quiet over the last few weeks and we haven't had much to announce, today we have things to talk about. Let's head through these changes!
The Camera
Ever wanted to take pictures of people on the server and hang them on your wall in your town? Well, now you can. This is available in the store for purchase, so make sure to go check that out! You'll also be able to take selfies with this camera, so get to work building a picture portfolio!
Bug Fixes
- The Fire Charge recipe has been fixed, meaning that you can get back to building fireworks!
- Left clicking on an entity will now let you use the move you have selected rather than doing melee damage, meaning that you can hit your opponent in close quarters!
- Items randomly renaming has been fixed (no, Patrick. Mayonnaise is not a Bending Focus).
- Respawning in dungeons and capitals has been fixed.

The admin team has been hard at work again this week, but we still don't have anything major to announce. So, just like the last changelog, we have a few minor changes to go through. Let's get to it!
- The minimum amount of players required for the Fire Nation Capital arena has been reduced to two, meaning that you can finally re-enact the Last Agni Kai!
- The renaming problem has been fixed, meaning that players can no longer fashion a 'bending focus' out of a piece of wool!

While the admin team has been hard at work this week, unfortunately, there's nothing we can announce as of yet. However, we do have some minor changes we can talk to you about, so let's fly through those!
- You'll now be able to see how much health you're losing and gaining in the field with floating text!
- The arena scoreboard has been overhauled, meaning that someone can no longer be top of the leaderboard simply by winning only their first five! It has been changed from a raw win/loss ratio to a confidence-based one.
- The carousel text on the homepage has been made readable via a black background, so there’s no more guesswork as to what it says!
2016-09-04 20:05:00 +0000 UTC by EvieAscendant
Hello, and welcome to the twenty-seventh Weekly Soon™! This week we have some nice bits of information for you, so let’s get going!
New Moves
Earth
- Seismic Sense: Channel your inner Toph, and remind the world that no-one can truly hide from an earthbender forever. Use this ability to seek out your enemies, but beware - this move only works with earth-bendable materials!
- Earth Coin: Do you have people standing in your way in battle? Well, with this move, that won't be a problem anymore. Give an opponent a rather rocky two cents to think about while you use another move to finish them off!
Fire
- Dragon of the West: Pull off this fiery display of power in battle! By taking Iroh's teachings to heart, you can focus the power of the dragons. This move will allow you to breathe fire for as long as you have bending energy, and it is toggleable.
- Fire Ball: Because nothing says powerful quite like hurling a giant ball of fire at your enemies. This move will allow you to throw fire at long range.
Air
- Windrush: Become the friendly neighborhood speedster by using this move! This will allow an airbender to
use the speedforce move at dizzying speed to another location, leaving a rush of wind in their wake. - Air Gust: Ever need to put some distance between you and your opponent? Well, this would be the move to do it. This allows you to deal damage to the enemy, pushing yourself back a few blocks in the process to prepare for another move.
Water
- Splash: Knock your opponents off of their feet with this move! This will allow a waterbender to clear a path during a fight. The move requires a water source, and will fire in a cone in front of you, causing damage and knockback.
- Blizzard: Chill your opponent before you kill them with this move. It will cause a slowness effect to anyone in the area, allowing you to make the final move in any fight.
Bug Fixes
- The resource pack will remember to ask you to download it if you haven't got it installed!
That's all for this week, folks! Stay tuned for further developments!
