ControlVanish

A vanish plugin with only a purpose. Free and open source, and have some premium-like features.

Features:

• Two types of modes. NPC and standard.
• Standard is full invisibility. Fake leave and join messages cover you. Listed as SILENT in the command.
• NPC puts a copy of you in your place. It uses your skin, your skin layers, your armor, and your rank prefix.
• The copy keeps your slot in the tab list. The player count does not move. No leave message is sent because you are still visible.
• The copy either follows you or stays where you vanished. You pick in the config.
• Ghost mode. Sneak at a wall to phase through it. Hold sneak in the open to come back.
• Protections while vanished. No block breaking or placing. No damage taken or dealt. No interactions. No item or XP pickup. No drops. No buckets. No mob targeting. No collisions.
• Hidden from the tab list and the player count for anyone without permission.
• Vanish state saves across restarts. SQLite, written off the main thread.
• Proxy sync for Velocity and BungeeCord. The same jar runs on the proxy too.
• Optional Simple Voice Chat support. Vanished players speak through the NPC.
• Settings GUI with live toggles. No restart needed.
• Folia supported.
• Anonymous bStats stats. Turn them off in plugins/bStats/config.yml.

Requirements:

• PacketEvents 2.14.0 or newer. Required.
• Paper 1.21.1 through 26.3 and newer.

PacketEvents is not bundled into the jar on purpose. When a new Minecraft version drops you can update PacketEvents yourself and keep going the same day.
