# Vanish++<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udc7b The Absolute Standard for Modern Admin Stealth.<\/p>\n
**Stop getting caught. Start watching.**<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
—<\/p>\n
Are you tired of “vanish” plugins that leave traces? Players tab-completing your name? Arrows bouncing off your invisible body? Mobs looking strangely at “empty” air?<\/p>\n
**Vanish++** renders other vanish plugins obsolete. Built for modern **Paper**, **Folia**, **Purpur**, **Spigot**, and **Bukkit** servers, it uses advanced packet interception, native physics manipulation, and deep API hooks to ensure you are **mathematically undetectable**.<\/p>\n
It works perfectly out of the box with zero configuration required, but offers granular control for those who need it.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\ude80 Why Vanish++ is Unrivaled<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Most plugins just hide you visually. **Vanish++ removes you physically.**<\/p>\n * **Titan God Mode:** While vanished, you are strictly invincible. You take no damage, are immune to all potion effects, and cannot burn. You are a spectator in survival mode. <\/p>\n We hook directly into the server protocol to scrub your existence from clients. *(Requires ProtocolLib)*<\/p>\n * **Nuclear Tab-Completion Scrubbing:** If a normal player tries to Tab-Complete your name in Chat, Vanilla Commands, or Plugin Commands, **you are not there**. Your name is stripped from the packet sent to the client. <\/p>\n * **Native Language Fake Messages:** When you vanish, the fake “Player left the game” message isn’t just text\u2014it uses the **server’s native translation packet**. This means a German player sees the message in German, and a US player sees it in English. It is indistinguishable from a real disconnect. <\/p>\n * **Spectator Quick-Switch:** Double-tap Shift while vanished to enter Spectator mode instantly. Double-tap again to return to your previous gamemode. Unvanishing forces you back automatically. Requires `vanishpp.spectator`. (`vanishpp.spectator.bypass` lets you stay in Spectator after unvanishing.) <\/p>\n * **Public VanishAPI:** A clean developer API (`VanishAPI`) exposes vanish state queries, vanish\/unvanish calls, event hooks, and rule reads for third-party plugin integration. No internals required. —<\/p>\n ## \ud83d\udccb Commands<\/p>\n Most commands support an optional `[player]` argument, allowing admins to modify the state\/rules of other staff members.<\/p>\n | Command | Alias | Description | Permission | —<\/p>\n ## \ud83e\udde9 Placeholders (PlaceholderAPI)<\/p>\n Only needed if you are building custom HUDs or Scoreboards. (TAB Plugin works automatically without these).<\/p>\n | Placeholder | Output Example | Description | —<\/p>\n ## \ud83d\udd12 Personal Rules (`\/vrules`)<\/p>\n Customize your ghost experience. Default behavior can be tweaked per player.<\/p>\n * `can_break_blocks` (Default: `false` – Cannot break blocks) —<\/p>\n ## \u2699\ufe0f Compatibility & Requirements<\/p>\n Vanish++ is built for modern ecosystems.<\/p>\n ### Supported Versions ### Supported Platforms **Requirements:** **Storage (Optional):** **Optional Hooks:** **Just drop the JAR in your plugins folder.** No complex setup required. It works securely out of the box.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n ### \ud83d\udcc4 License & Support<\/p>\n This project is open-source under the GNU GPL v3. **[ Download Now ]** More Features than other plugins.

\n* **Smart Mob AI (True Sight):** Mobs completely ignore vanished players. Targeting is cancelled via `EntityTargetEvent` before the mob ever commits to an attack path. Mobs that had already locked on before you vanished are force-detargeted immediately.
\n* **Projectile Pass-Through:** We don’t use “teleport hacks.” Using native Paper events, arrows, tridents, and snowballs fly **physically through** your body. It is impossible to hit a vanished player.
\n* **Zero Collision:** You cannot push players, mobs, or boats, and they cannot push you. You are a ghost.
\n* **No Physical Triggers:** You can walk over Turtle Eggs, Crops, Pressure Plates, Tripwires, and Sculk Sensors without triggering a single vibration or block update.
\n* **Raid Prevention:** You won’t trigger Bad Omen raids while watching a village.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\ud83d\udcf6 Deep Protocol Invisibility (Packet-Level Hiding)<\/b><\/summary>\n
\n* **Server List Hiding:** The player count in the multiplayer server list is mathematically adjusted. If you are the only one online, the server says “0\/20”.
\n* **Ghost View for Staff:** While normal players see nothing, Staff (with permission) see vanished players in the Tab List as **Gray, Italicized Spectators**, making it easy to coordinate.
\n* **Staff Glow Indicator:** Vanished players render with a glowing outline for staff \u2014 a clear visual indicator injected at the packet level. Non-staff never see it. Configurable via `vanish-appearance.staff-glow`.
\n* **Dynmap & EssentialsX Hooks:** Automatically hides you from dynamic web maps and `\/who`, `\/list`, or `\/online` commands.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\ud83d\udc41\ufe0f Immersion & Compatibility<\/b><\/summary>\n
\n* **Native TAB Plugin Support:** If you use **TAB (by NEZNAMY)**, Vanish++ hooks directly into it to display your vanish prefix automatically. No manual Placeholder configuration required.
\n* **Legacy Plugin Support:** Even without specific hooks, Vanish++ sets standard Bukkit Metadata (`”vanished”`). This means plugins like **CMI**, **TAB**, or custom skripts automatically respect your vanished status.
\n* **Silent Chests:** Open Chests, Shulker Boxes, Barrels, and Ender Chests silently. The container opens directly against the real inventory \u2014 no animation, no sound, no item duplication.
\n* **DiscordSRV Integration:** Registers as a native vanish hook in DiscordSRV. Join, quit, advancement, and death announcements are all suppressed on Discord \u2014 even if you reconnect while already vanished. Fake join\/leave messages honour DiscordSRV’s full embed, colour, avatar, and webhook configuration from `messages.yml`. Staff notifications still appear in console and for players with the see permission.
\n* **Simple Voice Chat Integration:** Automatically isolates\/mutes you in voice chat so you can’t be heard or hear proximity chat while stalking.
\n* **Smart Item Pickup:** Toggle item pickup with `\/vanishpickup`. Don’t accidentally steal the diamonds you are watching a player mine.
\n* **`\/msg` \/ `\/tell` Detection Prevention:** Non-staff can no longer `\/msg` or `\/tell` a vanished player \u2014 they receive a vanilla-style “player not found” error. `\/r` reply is blocked when the last target was a vanished sender. `\/me` from a vanished player is restricted to staff-only audience. Configurable message text.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\ud83d\udd27 Granular Control & Safety<\/b><\/summary>\n
\n* **`\/vspec` Quick-Spectate:** Instantly enter spectator mode locked to any player with `\/vspec
\n* **`\/vfollow` Camera Tracking:** Lock your camera to silently follow any player with `\/vfollow
\n* **`\/vhistory` Audit Log:** Full vanish\/unvanish history with timestamps, executor, and reason stored in the database. Requires `vanishpp.history`.
\n* **`\/vstats` Vanish Time Statistics:** View total vanish time, session count, and longest session per player. Requires `vanishpp.stats`.
\n* **`\/vadmin` Dashboard GUI:** In-game GUI overview of all vanished players, active rules, and quick actions. Requires `vanishpp.admin`.
\n* **`\/vincognito` Fake Name Mode:** Replace your display name and tab entry with a configurable fake name while vanished. Requires `vanishpp.incognito`.
\n* **`\/vwand` Toggle Wand:** Grants a Blaze Rod vanish wand \u2014 right-click to toggle vanish state. Configurable in `config.yml`. Requires `vanishpp.wand`.
\n* **`\/vzone` No-Vanish Zones:** Define radius-based zones where vanishing\/unvanishing is blocked or forced. Manage with `\/vzone create|delete|list|reload`. Requires `vanishpp.zone`.
\n* **`\/vautovanish` Auto-Join Vanish:** Players opt into automatic vanish on join. Persisted per UUID \u2014 survives restarts and server switches. Requires `vanishpp.autovanish`.
\n* **Bulk Vanish:** `\/vanish all` vanishes every eligible online player at once. `\/vanish world
\n* **Bossbar Vanish Indicator:** Optional persistent bossbar shown to vanished players as a stealth reminder. Configurable colour, style, and text in `config.yml`.
\n* **Live Config Editor (`\/vconfig`):** Edit any setting in `config.yml` (Messages, Rules, Boolean toggles) directly in-game. Changes apply instantly without reloading.
\n* **Interactive Help (`\/vhelp`):** Forget the wiki. The plugin includes a clickable, interactive guide explaining every command and feature.
\n* **Smart-Merge Migration:** Updates are stress-free. The plugin automatically detects old configs and migrates your custom messages\/settings to the new version structure safely. Missing message keys are auto-written to `messages.yml` on load \u2014 upgrading never leaves a key undefined.
\n* **Personal Rules System (`\/vrules`):** Decide exactly what you want to do while vanished. Supports named presets \u2014 save, load, list, and delete rule configurations with `\/vrules preset
\n * *Want to break blocks?* Toggle it.
\n * *Want absolute peace?* Disable “Can Hit Entities”.
\n * *Afraid of leaking info?* Enable “Chat Confirmation”.
\n * *Need to drop items?* Enable “Can Drop Items”.
\n* **Vanish Scoreboard (`\/vscoreboard`):** A fully configurable sidebar scoreboard shown automatically when you vanish. Displays world, TPS, player counts, real-time coordinates and direction, biome, ping, health, food, armor, time, and more. Coordinates refresh the instant you move via packet-level ProtocolLib listening \u2014 no tick lag. Supports all built-in placeholders plus full PlaceholderAPI. Column separators (`|`) are auto-aligned regardless of label length. Configured in `scoreboards.yml`, reloads with `\/vreload`.
\n* **Heartbeat Synchronization:** Changed a permission in LuckPerms? Promoted someone via Console? The **Heartbeat Task** refreshes visuals instantly. No relogging required.
\n* **Setup Advisor:** On every startup, the plugin scans the active config and warns you if a hook is enabled but its dependency is missing, or if a PlaceholderAPI placeholder is used without PlaceholderAPI installed. Warnings are printed to the console *and* shown in-chat to all staff with `vanishpp.see` \u2014 so you always know when your setup is incomplete.
\n* **Dependency Warnings:** The plugin intelligently warns admins if ProtocolLib is missing, but allows you to silence these warnings permanently with `\/vignore`.
\n* **Accidental Chat Prevention:** If enabled, typing in chat blocks the message and asks you to confirm with `\/vchat confirm`. Never leak your presence by accident again.
\n* **Async Data Persistence:** All data is saved asynchronously. Server crash? Restart? Your vanish state is saved instantly. No accidental logins.
\n* **Native Velocity Proxy Plugin:** The companion `vanishpp-velocity` plugin provides a dedicated real-time messaging channel between all Paper servers and Velocity. Vanish state, config changes, and `\/vanishreload` propagate network-wide instantly. Timed rule expiry notifications are delivered to the server the player is currently on \u2014 no reconnect required. Servers auto-detect the proxy on startup and fall back to standalone mode if none is present.
\n* **Database Connection Monitoring:** When database connectivity fails, staff are notified in-game so infrastructure issues don’t go unnoticed. Includes graceful error handling and connection pooling.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\ud83d\udd0c Developer & Integration APIs<\/b><\/summary>\n
\n* **LuckPerms Context Integration:** Registers a `vanished` context node in LuckPerms so permissions can be conditionally granted or revoked while a player is vanished.
\n* **WorldGuard Region Flags:** Two new WorldGuard flags: `vanishpp-force-vanish` (auto-vanishes players entering the region) and `vanishpp-deny-vanish` (blocks toggling vanish inside the region).
\n* **Webhook Support:** Configurable HTTP webhooks fire on vanish\/unvanish events for external integrations \u2014 Discord bots, dashboards, audit systems, anything.
\n* **Shift-Right-Click Invsee:** Shift-right-clicking a player while vanished opens their inventory via OpenInv or InvSee++ if installed, falling back to the built-in viewer. Permissions are granted for the duration and revoked on close.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n
