How to Choose and Bind Your First Bending Style

Selecting Your Element

When you first join a world with Bending Mod, you'll need to choose which of the four elements to bend: Air, Water, Earth, or Fire. This choice is permanent for your character, so consider which playstyle appeals to you:

  • Air favors mobility and evasion
  • Water offers versatility and defense
  • Earth provides raw power and stability
  • Fire delivers aggressive offense

Use the mod's selection menu (usually accessed via a keybind or command) to pick your element.

Binding Abilities to Your Hotbar

Once you've chosen your element, you'll unlock basic abilities. Active abilities must be bound to your hotbar to use them in combat:

1. Open your inventory

2. Locate your available abilities in the bending menu

3. Drag active abilities to your hotbar slots

4. Assign keybinds if needed (typically number keys or custom keys)

5. Test your abilities in a safe area

Passive abilities activate automatically and don't require hotbar space. Start with one or two active abilities until you're comfortable with the mod's mechanics.
