**A plugin that allows you to create virtual players for easy debugging of plugins through console or in-game.**<\/p>\n

VirtualPlayers is a plugin designed for developers and server admins to easily test and debug plugins that require multiple players. Virtual players are non-existent in-game, and are only accessible through console or chat, meaning they will be invisible on the server list, player count and in-game.<\/p>\n

VirtualPlayers will also work with many large Minecraft plugins, such as WorldEdit, allowing you to perform actions that are typically reserved for online players, but through a console. Virtual players can also be managed in-game, or through other command senders, such as command blocks or signs.<\/p>\n

## Features
\n– Run commands as a virtual player through console or chat
\n– Send messages as a virtual player through console or chat
\n– Teleport a virtual player to a specific location
\n– Op\/de-op a virtual player to test command execution
\n– Attack a real player as a virtual player to test combat mechanics<\/p>\n
