Spring is here, and with it comes the traditional Earth Kingdom festival of Kyoshi Day! It's a time when everyone comes together to celebrate the life and achievements of the 230 year old earthbending Avatar.
To celebrate this, the residents of Kyoshi Island have put together a festival for all to enjoy. Travel there, and see what's going on!
Note: For players that manually download and install the server's resource pack, remember to get the latest copy to access all the event's models and textures. Players who rely on automatic resource pack downloads need not take action.
Quests
Chasing History
Ruolan has been dragged into portraying Avatar Kyoshi for the annual ‘Kyoshi Day’ celebrations in her village. This is the centre piece of the festival, but it looks like stage fight might've got to Ruolan. Help her prepare and make this the most memorable Kyoshi Day ever!
Sous Chef
Every good festival needs catering, and this one is no exception. Help Chef Yuun create the traditional snack of Kyoshi Day... unfried dough! Who knows, maybe Chef Yuun will teach you her secret recipe?
A Wild Turtle Duck Chase
Hinro — the local turtle duck farmer — has lost one of his prized turtle ducks. Follow the trail of eggs to bring it home!
Maze
Delve into the catacombs beneath Kyoshi Island, and explore the secluded shrine raised in her likeness in the same year that she passed from this world and traversed into the next. To reach them, speak to Gulao near the Kyoshi duelling grounds, across the river and inside a patch of trees.
Parkour
What's an event without a bit of parkour! Head down to the harbour and jump across the water towards the lighthouse.
Kyoshi Island Updates
We've taken the opportunity to give Kyoshi Island a bit of a facelift. Take a look around the new and improved Kyoshi Shrine, a fitting tribute to one of the finest Avatars. A new forest has been planted for when you need somewhere to relax after a hectic day at the festival.
Cosmetics
Up for a bit of role-play? Why not grab one of our themed cosmetics and take on the role as your favourite Avatar?
From Roku's luscious beard, to Aang's smooth head, these costumes are the perfect way to celebrate Avatar Day! To honour Avatar Kyoshi, the esteemed Warriors of Kyoshi have kindly gifted one of their headdresses for you to own.
If you'd prefer to instead look back on how Avatar Kyoshi created her home island, why not grab the famous helmet of Chin the Conqueror?
To own any of these, simply talk to Tonra in the village.

The Legend of Korra Anniversary
The Legend of Korra premiered in the United States with a one-hour television special on April 14, 2012. The special featured the first two episodes of the series: "Welcome to Republic City" and "A Leaf in the Wind." Online viewers were able to catch an earlier showing via Nickelodeon's website on March 24.
Audiences were thrust into the life of Avatar Korra — the successor to the legendary Avatar Aang — and Republic City, the bustling metropolis founded by Aang and Fire Lord Zuko after the conclusion of the Hundred Year War. It was clear from the very beginning that this would be a very different world, and a very different story, than that which we were familiar with.
Raava's Tea Time
Longtime AvatarMC players are familiar with the server's annual Cactus Juice Day tradition that commemorates Avatar: The Last Airbender. What better time than the 10th anniversary of The Legend of Korra premiere to start a new yearly celebration?
In honour of this anniversary, you will be able to brew a special tea using a recipe inspired by Raava! The tea will be unlocked starting at 15:00 UTC on April 14, the moment that American audiences tuned in for the first episode of the new series.
How It Works
For 24 hours, you can follow this Raava's Tea recipe in your brewing stand and get this special glowing tea:
1) Heat: 5 - Ingredient: Mint Leaves [2]
2) Heat: 12 - Stir
3) Heat: 25 - Ingredient: Barley [2]
4) Heat: 18 - Ingredient: Mint Leaves [2]
5) Heat: 22 - Stir
6) Heat: 15 - Empty Tea Cup

Avatar: The Last Airbender Anniversary
Avatar: The Last Airbender premiered in the United States with a one-hour special on February 21, 2005. The special featured the first two episodes of the series: "The Boy in the Iceberg" and "The Avatar Returns."
Viewers were introduced to siblings Sokka and Katara — who while fishing in the chilly waters near their home in the Southern Water Tribe — discover a young air nomad frozen in an iceberg with his flying bison named Appa.
Cactus Juice Day
To celebrate the series that started it all and inspired us to create this Minecraft server, we at AvatarMC like to partake in a yearly tradition dubbed "Cactus Juice Day."
U.S. audiences got their first glimpse of the Avatar Universe at 7 p.m. EST. This was midnight UTC on February 22 which is why the server has Cactus Juice Day on the 22nd each year.
How it Works
From midnight UTC on February 22 for exactly 24 hours, when you break a cactus block, you have a chance that (alongside the actual item) cactus juice will drop. This will only drop once per time, so you'll want to keep placing and breaking cactus if you're looking to hoard it. Cactus Juice will typically be a potion of Nausea III.

Event: Gaoling Bending Tournament // AvatarMC Discord
Love is in the air, and so is that everlasting fighting spirit! AvatarMC welcomes back its champions to compete once more for the famous Championship Bracelet! Come join and fight!
Like previous months, there will be no Professions items permitted during the tournament.
When will it be?
- The event will take place on Saturday, February 19 at 19:00 UTC. For those who use Google's search engine, this query will find exactly what time this is in your time zone. World Time Buddy is also a helpful resource.
How do I join?
- Please join the Discord and sign up in the Tournament Chat or message a Mod or Chat Mod in-game. You can always sign up at the event, but you may not be paired with someone who best matches your skill level — so sign up as soon as you can!
- NOTE: If you can't make it to the tournament after signing up, please delete your sign up and/or notify a tournament volunteer for day-of cancellations. Failing to do this could result in sanctions.
Am I limited to the bending I chose?
- No! This event will take place off the main server by typing
/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 we be able to eat to heal during the match?
- No. In the past when we've allowed food and healing, matches lasted far longer than anyone felt was enjoyable. Because of that, health restoration from eating will be disabled.
Will there be stats and levels?
- Just like on the main server you will have stat points to allocate typing
/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: 250,000¥ + Championship Bracelet
- Second Place: 150,000¥
- Third Place: 75,000¥
- Fourth Place: 50,000¥
- 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 32 spirit essence and four decorative heads. Winners will receive these as well.
- There will be no raffle this month.
How do I join the Discord?
- You can simply join with this 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:
- The tournament will operate off of a public bracket that will be posted in #event-announcements on Discord, and in chat at the beginning of the tournament.
- For this tournament the brackets will be semi-randomized. Players will be fighting against other players who may not be of similar skill level, but could be disproportionately higher or lower in skill level. Matches can be semi-balanced based on the pairings, but it is no guarantee.
- Players who lose in the semi-final fights will match against each other to determine 3rd and 4th place.
- Time will be set to sunrise, so no advantage can be gained for either waterbenders or firebenders.
- 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 or message a moderator in-game.
We hope you join the fight on Saturday, February 19 at 19:00 UTC!
