🆕 New in 1.1.4

• 🆕 New animation — Anonymous — disappear like a regular vanish with no animation and no sound. Listed first in the menu (icon: Crying Obsidian), fully editable.
• 👻 Mobs truly ignore you — vanished players are now completely ignored by mobs regardless of game mode; mobs already chasing you instantly lose aggro on vanish.
• 🛡️ Warden fix — Wardens no longer detect or attack vanished players (their anger is cleared, sculk vibrations cut at the source, Darkness suppressed).
• ✅ Stable animations — Meteor Strike, Glass Shatter and Delete Entity are no longer experimental.

---

🆕 New in 1.1.3

• 🟢 Full support for 1.21.10, 1.21.11 and the new 26.1 / 26.2 (Mojang's 2026 year-based versions).
• 🗄️ MySQL + Cross-Server Vanish Sync — stay vanished when switching servers (lobby → OneBlock…), with no join notification and no animation replay. Vanish state and all settings follow the player across the network.
• 🔔 Configurable Update Notifier — checks Modrinth + SpigotMC, notifies console & admins. Fully editable.
• 🔊 Version-safe sounds — fixed the Sound API change on modern versions; configs accept enum names (BLOCK_CHEST_OPEN) or namespaced keys (block.chest.open).

✨ Key Features

• 🎭 17 animated vanish effects Anonymous, Smoke, Blink, Death, CrystalFade, RunePortal, PhantomVeil, Galaxy, MeteorStrike, GlassShatter, DeleteEntity, Celestial Singularity, and more!

• 🖥️ Full-featured GUI system Everything is accessible from /vium gui — toggle vanish, pick animations, toggle silent/fake join/leave, change settings.

• 🗄️ MySQL & cross-server vanish sync (optional) Connect every server on your network to one database — a vanished player stays vanished across servers (no join spam), and their animation + all settings follow them. Powered by HikariCP, fully async. Defaults to per-server YAML.

• 🔔 Configurable update notifier Checks Modrinth + SpigotMC and notifies the console on startup and admins on join (vium.update). Every message editable; each source toggleable.

• 🔐 Vanish levels Fine-grained control over who sees who: Use vium.level.1 through vium.level.10 to determine visibility priority.

• 🤫 Silent Join/Leave Join or leave the server without notifying anyone in chat.

• 🎮 Fake Join/Leave Simulate player activity with fake messages. Great for stealthy moderation.

• 🚫 Place/Break & Pickup/Drop Control Block placing, breaking, picking up, and dropping items while vanished. Configurable per player via GUI or commands.

• 📊 PlaceholderAPI Integration 12 placeholders for scoreboards, TABs, and other plugins — vanish status, level, animation, all toggle settings, vanished player count & list.

• 🔎 Whois Command /vium whois <player> — instantly view a player's full vanish profile: status, level, animation, and all settings.

• ✨ RGB / Hex Color Support All messages, GUIs, and actionbars support &#RRGGBB formatting.

• 📝 Per-player config system Preferences are stored in individual files under data/players/.

• 🌍 Multi-language support Full English and Polish translations included. Every message editable via lang files — zero hard-coded strings.

• 👻 Vanished players are completely hidden

  • Not visible in tablist
  • Not auto-completed in TabCompleter
  • Ignored by Warden, Sculk Sensors, Pressure Plates, Turtle Eggs, etc.

• 🧩 Modular feature engine Each invisibility effect is powered by individual "feature modules":

  • NightVision – Automatic night vision while vanished
  • NoPush – Prevent player collision
  • NoMobSpawn – Mobs won't spawn near you
  • NoRaidTrigger – Don't trigger village raids (supports RAID_OMEN)

  • Translate every message in lang files (lang/en.yml, lang/pl.yml)
  • Reload anytime with /vium reload

🗄️ Storage & Cross-Server Sync

VanishIUM stores per-player data (vanish state + every setting) in one of two backends, selected in config.yml:

• yaml (default) — local files in data/players/<uuid>.yml. Per-server, zero setup.
• mysql — a shared database that enables cross-server vanish sync. A vanished player who switches servers (e.g. lobby → OneBlock) stays vanished, with no join notification and no animation/fake-message replay. All database I/O is async (HikariCP pool). If the connection fails, VanishIUM automatically falls back to YAML, so your server never breaks.

storage:
  type: yaml          # yaml | mysql
  mysql:
    host: localhost
    port: 3306
    database: minecraft
    username: root
    password: ""
    table: vanishium_players
    useSSL: false
    pool-size: 8

Run VanishIUM on every server of your network and point them at the same database to share vanish across the whole network. Requires a MySQL/MariaDB JDBC driver on the server.
