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!

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!

Hey, guys! BryArchitect and Evie back for this Weekly Soon.
Forum
AvatarMC is getting its very own forum! Situated at forum.avatarmc.com, you'll be able to post in numerous different sections. This includes Tea Leaf locations, being able to report bugs as well as being able to contact the admin team directly when it’s needed. Additionally, you’ll be able to advertise for your town and/or nation, making finding new members a little easier. Finally, you’ll be able to share all those spicy memes you’ve been hoarding with the rest of the server!
Bending Moves
The friendly neighborhood move developers are still feeling a little rusty this week, so the bending update will be released in next week's Soon. As this is the second week we've delayed, we apologize and promise that the moves are definitely worth the wait!
Bug Fixes
- Firebenders will now have more control over the usage of Flare Blitz, meaning that you can look around and even jump while using it! Beware, however - fall protections are not applied, so use this carefully.
That's it for this week, folks! Stay tuned for further developments!

Hello again! Evie is here to fly you through the details of the 25th Weekly Soon™, so let’s get down to it.
Server Move
If you’ve gotten online in the last two days, you probably would have seen a few bugs in the system that weren’t there before. This is because the admin team made the decision to move to another server to reduce costs. There should be no noticeable negative changes for the players from this point onward, but if something has been missed, let one of the admins know.
For the curious, Badlion officially dropped its support for all of the third-party servers it was sponsoring some time ago due to partnerships, which means that our server has had to look into reducing costs and gaining some form of income to alleviate it. This has come in the form of our server store and this week’s server move to name examples. We would like to stress that your support directly contributes to the continuation of the server as a whole and that we’re working on getting some new items in the store for you guys to have fun with. If you want to contribute, click the ‘Store’ link at the top of the page, where you’ll be able to find a selection of instruments, hats, and bending focus models for you to enjoy!
Lux’s Luminous Lottery
Due to the fact that there have been no entrants for this week’s raffle, no winner can be announced.
As a reminder, this coming week will be the last week of the raffle, so if you want to enter, now’s the time to do it! By spending three dollars or more you’re automatically entered into the raffle, and winning gives you the ability to choose something from the store for free! The raffle ends on Saturday at Midnight GMT, and the winner will be chosen in time for the following Weekly Soon™ as is standard. If you’re having issues with time-zones, here’s a World Clock Converter to help you.
Bending Moves
We regret to inform you that this month’s moves are being delayed. The bending design team has been extremely busy elsewhere and as such the deadline for the moves will not be met. Any further information we are provided will be released as and when it is given to us.
Bug Fixes
While the admin team has been fairly busy making sure that the server move goes off without a hitch, they still found time to fix bugs.
- Spawn egg vendors have finally gotten bored of their asinine prank, meaning that you don’t have to play roulette anymore when buying animal eggs!
That's all for this week, folks! Stay tuned for next week's Soon™!

Hello, and welcome to the 24th Weekly Soon™! It’s been a fairly slow week, but as usual, we still have business to get down to!
Luxsidus’ Luminous Lottery
The winner of this week’s raffle is Porku! Congratulations! Please get in touch with Luxsidus to choose your reward.
Just to remind everyone – spending three dollars or more at the server store will automatically enter you for that week’s raffle. Participants have a chance to win an instrument or hat of their choice. The deadline is every Saturday at midnight GMT, and the winner is selected the day after. This raffle will only be running through August, so best get a move on if you want to enter! Having issues with time zones? Here, have a World Clock Converter to speed up the process.
Bug Fixes & Changes
The admin team has been hard at work this week doing things behind the scenes. Even still, they managed to fix some of those irksome bugs that have been found on the server.
- The /register system has been overhauled, making the process infinitely easier!
- The Fast Travel vendors will no longer take your money and run when you’re mounted on an animal, meaning that you can finally travel the world with your favorite horse!
I'm afraid that's all for this week, folks. Stay tuned for the next Weekly Soon™!
