# VelocityVanish<\/p>\n
A lightweight vanish plugin for **Velocity** proxy servers. Vanished players are hidden from the tab list and trigger fake leave\/join messages for players without the see permission.<\/p>\n
## Installation<\/p>\n
1. Drop `VelocityVanish.jar` into your Velocity proxy’s `plugins\/` folder.
\n2. Restart (or reload) the proxy.<\/p>\n
> **Do not install this on your backend (Paper\/Purpur) servers.** It runs on the proxy only.<\/p>\n
## Commands<\/p>\n
| Command | Description | ## Permissions<\/p>\n | Permission | Description | ## How It Works<\/p>\n – **Tab list** \u2014 When a player vanishes, their entry is removed from the tab list of every player who does not have `vanish.see`. Players with `vanish.see` always see everyone. ## Limitations<\/p>\n – Vanish state is stored **in memory only**. If the proxy restarts, all players will be unvanished. ## Requirements<\/p>\n – Velocity **3.4.0** or newer A lightweight vanish plugin for Velocity proxy servers. Vanished players are hidden from the tab list and trigger fake leave\/join messages for players without the see permission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":165570,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"velocity-vanish","_minecraft_project_id":"n08RGbq9","_minecraft_author":"CrispyToast_","_minecraft_license":"LicenseRef-All-Rights-Reserved","_minecraft_downloads":57,"_minecraft_follows":1,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"velocity-vanish.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":6622,"_minecraft_version_count":1,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T20:51:54.667457Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2026-04-01T22:55:24.696820Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-03-31T22:09:44.170929Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/velocity-vanish","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":165570,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-09T17:50:45+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"796f56364a746462a0905bebb6cc5e2b","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[126,123,92,985],"mod_loader":[986],"minecraft_version":[41],"class_list":["post-165569","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-management","mod_category-technology","mod_category-utility","mod_category-velocity","mod_loader-velocity","minecraft_version-1-21-11"],"yoast_head":"\n

\n– **Fake messages** \u2014 When a player vanishes, a fake `left the game` message is broadcast to players without `vanish.see`. When they unvanish, a fake `joined the game` message is broadcast.
\n– **Server switches** \u2014 The tab list is refreshed every time any player changes backend servers, keeping it accurate across your network.
\n– **Disconnect cleanup** \u2014 If a vanished player disconnects, they are automatically removed from the vanished set and the tab list is updated.<\/p>\n
\n– Backend servers are unaware of vanish state. Players on the same backend server may still see vanished players through means other than the tab list (e.g. nearby detection in-game). For full invisibility, pair this with a backend vanish plugin.<\/p>\n
