How to Choose Your Bending Element and Get Started
Getting Your
Bending Scroll
When you first load into a world with the Avatar Addon, you will not have any bending powers active by default. To begin, open your in-game chat and run the command !scroll. This gives you a special scroll item that controls all of your bending choices and move configurations.
Hold the scroll in your main hand and open its menu by right-clicking on PC or long-pressing the screen on touch devices. From here, you are presented with six different style options:
- Avatar
- Fire
- Earth
- Water
- Air
- Human (plays like normal vanilla Minecraft, but grants the ability to learn chi-blocking)
Unlocking and Binding Your First Moves
Simply choosing an element from the scroll will not make anything happen right away. To actually use your abilities, you must assign specific moves to your up to 6 available ability slots:
1. Open the scroll menu again by right-clicking or long-pressing.
2. Select the Choose Slots sub-menu button.
3. Pick a slot and assign one of your unlocked moves to it. Starting with Slot 4 is recommended for beginners because its activation input (sneak and punch) is the simplest to perform.
As you play the game normally and actively use your bound moves, you will level up and gain access to more moves for your element. Note that trying to AFK will not grant progress toward leveling up.
