What's The Deal With Steambending?

You cant think of a simple way to make steam/mist in minecraft? Yet you can make a freaking waterspout, tornado, WaterBall, and Lava...What about the move frost breath? That's a good example of mist right there. People have given plenty of reasons on why this is canon and how it could work, but you people say no all because you can't think of a way to represent mist/steam? That isn't open-minded, that's being closed at best.
Frostbreath isn't mist. And we could, but it's unneeded right now.

I'm not a cd, but likely reasons - there isn't steam in minecraft
Uh Uh Nh! Think about Airbending. Minecraft only has air blocks which doesn't do much of a thiing in the game, other than give the player/mob to breath and not suffocate, but there is no such thing as wind mechanic that pushes mobs in vanilla game.

Just saying this of your argument isn't the best to used, if we tried comparing to the existing thing.

Once again: I never said I would want to see the burning effect on the use of steam. There is also no blood, fire or air to be bent inside Minecraft, and THAT didn't stop the PK staff from recreating Avatar in the Minecraft community. We DO see Waterbenders turning water into vapor in the show.

Just for a reference, not trying to prove steambending exist, since everyone knows it. Maybe someone can think of a good application for this move?
Phase change: Waterbenders also possess the ability to alter the physical state of the water they manipulate, between liquid, solid and gas, at will. Changing the phase of water allows for multiple techniques in the course of a battle, from encasing an opponent in ice to hiding behind a wall of mist. Ice and steam/fog can also be molded in a diverse range of shapes. Ice provides a degree of hard lethality since it can be molded into spikes or blades to pin down or impale opponents. Steam or mist can obscure a battlefield and mask movement. Katara made good use of this to enhance her performance as the Painted Lady.[22] Waterbenders also possess the ability to breathe an icy mist that freezes water and other substances.
Steam manipulation: A technique that allows waterbenders to manipulate steam, and can also be used to manipulate fog. It can be used to freeze people or objects or to create cover. Katara made good use of the technique when she created a thick cloud of steam to conceal a ship from the enemy[50] and when she surrounded herself in fog to create an eerie atmosphere while pretending to be a river spirit.[22] Avatar Korra also made use of this technique while infiltrating Amon's rally, using steam from nearby pipes to provide cover for Mako.[59]

Vapor =/= steam
By minecraft not having steam I mean there's no natural way for steam to occur. Air is all around, fire there are particles, blood is inside entity shown by health.

If you want to say that steam shouldn't be made due the lack of natural phenomenon, then....

Now you are just throwing crap into the air.
How am I throwing crap into the air? You guys are the ones asking all the questions and I'm giving logical answers to them. If you don't like the answers I'm sorry but deal with it. This isn't your plugin to make and design.

I have to agree with Simp here. If you guys truly want to steam to be implemented, it'll probably never happen. The developers are trying to be logical here. You aren't realizing the limitations of a computer game. Minecraft never intended to implement steam. If you were to, it would be basically a blob of laggy cloud/spell particles. You need to understand the limitations and move on from them.

Valid reason to have fire and airbending, but not steambending.



Sorry for my sarcasm, but I couldn't handle this bullshit.

I realize :) there is also gonna be a lot of water in entities. The logic still applies. And bloodbending will use some portion of blood because it contains trace amounts of water.

I was trying to say as Bloodbending doesn't apply to bending ONLY blood, Steambending would also be the bending of mist, fog, aka gas water

Yea, but we really don't seem waterbenders make mist or affiliated . Katara used it for aesthetic a few times, and korra used steam to cover the auditorium.

Yet she didn't burn anyone, which is weird.

Aside from that, like you said, you can cover someone to hide a thing or something. I don' think katara use it for aest.. well, she did used it as an aesthetic to convince people that she really is the mystical painted lady, but for actual fightning purposes she use it for hiding ships and freezing a guard with only steam.
