SIXsVanish is a feature-rich, highly configurable vanish plugin designed for modern Minecraft servers running 1.21+. Every aspect of its behaviour — from per-player options to join and quit messages — is fully customisable through simple YAML files, with no restart required.
✨ Features
- 🫥 Toggle vanish for yourself or other players with a single command
- 🖥️ Options GUI — open a clean inventory menu to toggle all per-player options without typing a single command (
/vanish gui [player]) - 👁️ Spectator on double-shift — vanished players can press shift twice to seamlessly enter spectator mode and return to their previous game mode, per-player configurable
- ⚙️ Per-player options configurable at runtime: item pickup, night vision, flight, mob targeting, block/entity interaction, fake messages, spectator-on-sneak
- 💾 Persistent vanish state — players rejoin in the same vanish state they left in
- 📨 Fake join/quit messages — seamlessly simulate a player leaving and rejoining for non-seers
- 🔇 Silent join/quit — players with
sixsvanish.seesee a dedicated notice instead of the standard message - 🔍 Tab-completion filtering — vanished players are excluded from chat and command auto-complete for non-seers
- 🏷️ PlaceholderAPI support — expose vanish state via
%sixsvanish_status%, perfect for use in TAB plugin tab-list names - 📋 TAB plugin integration — tab-list entries are refreshed automatically on vanish state change
- 🔄 Hot reload — apply configuration changes instantly with
/sixsvanish reload - 🔔 Async update checker — notifies operators of new versions via Modrinth, never blocking the main thread
- 🎨 Fully customisable messages — supports
&codes,&#RRGGBBhex colours, MiniMessage, and PlaceholderAPI placeholders
