How It Works
- Tab list — When a player vanishes, their entry is removed from the tab list of every player who does not have
vanish.see. Players withvanish.seealways see everyone. - Fake messages — When a player vanishes, a fake
left the gamemessage is broadcast to players withoutvanish.see. When they unvanish, a fakejoined the gamemessage is broadcast. - Server switches — The tab list is refreshed every time any player changes backend servers, keeping it accurate across your network.
- Disconnect cleanup — If a vanished player disconnects, they are automatically removed from the vanished set and the tab list is updated.
Limitations
- Vanish state is stored in memory only. If the proxy restarts, all players will be unvanished.
- 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.
