Most plugins just hide you visually. Vanish++ removes you physically.

• 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.
• Smart Mob AI (True Sight): We inject custom AI goals into every mob. They look right through you — no head tracking, no awkward staring. Our SafeLookAtPlayerGoal holds the mob's look slot whenever you are nearby so the vanilla AI never notices you exist. Mobs that had already locked on before you vanished are force-detargeted within one tick.
• 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.
• Zero Collision: You cannot push players, mobs, or boats, and they cannot push you. You are a ghost.
• No Physical Triggers: You can walk over Turtle Eggs, Crops, Pressure Plates, Tripwires, and Sculk Sensors without triggering a single vibration or block update.
• Raid Prevention: You won't trigger Bad Omen raids while watching a village.

We hook directly into the server protocol to scrub your existence from clients. (Requires ProtocolLib)

• 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.
• 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".
• 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.
• Staff Glow Indicator: Vanished players render with a glowing outline for staff — a clear visual indicator injected at the packet level. Non-staff never see it. Configurable via vanish-appearance.staff-glow.
• Dynmap & EssentialsX Hooks: Automatically hides you from dynamic web maps and /who, /list, or /online commands.

• Native Language Fake Messages: When you vanish, the fake "Player left the game" message isn't just text—it 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Silent Chests: Open Chests, Shulker Boxes, Barrels, and Ender Chests silently. The container is opened as a snapshot inventory — no animation, no sound, full item interaction. Changes sync back on close.
• DiscordSRV Integration: Registers as a native vanish hook in DiscordSRV. Join, quit, advancement, and death announcements are all suppressed on Discord — 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.
• Simple Voice Chat Integration: Automatically isolates/mutes you in voice chat so you can't be heard or hear proximity chat while stalking.
• Smart Item Pickup: Toggle item pickup with /vanishpickup. Don't accidentally steal the diamonds you are watching a player mine.

• 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.)
• Live Config Editor (/vconfig): Edit any setting in config.yml (Messages, Rules, Boolean toggles) directly in-game. Changes apply instantly without reloading.
• Interactive Help (/vhelp): Forget the wiki. The plugin includes a clickable, interactive guide explaining every command and feature.
• 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.
• Personal Rules System (/vrules): Decide exactly what you want to do.
  • Want to break blocks? Toggle it.
  • Want absolute peace? Disable "Can Hit Entities".
  • Afraid of leaking info? Enable "Chat Confirmation".
  • Need to drop items? Enable "Can Drop Items".
• 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 — 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.
• Heartbeat Synchronization: Changed a permission in LuckPerms? Promoted someone via Console? The Heartbeat Task refreshes visuals instantly. No relogging required.
• 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 — so you always know when your setup is incomplete.
• Dependency Warnings: The plugin intelligently warns admins if ProtocolLib is missing, but allows you to silence these warnings permanently with /vignore.
• 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.
• Async Data Persistence: All data is saved asynchronously. Server crash? Restart? Your vanish state is saved instantly. No accidental logins.
• 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 — no reconnect required. Servers auto-detect the proxy on startup and fall back to standalone mode if none is present.
• 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.
