Minecraft plugin PremiumVanish

🔌 About PremiumVanish

PremiumVanish — is a Minecraft plugin that allows server staff to become hidden (vanish) across a Spigot/Paper server and supports proxy setups. PremiumVanish aims to provide a vanish implementation that other plugins can detect and integrate with, and exposes an API for third‑party integration.

🎯 Purpose

PremiumVanish solves the need for staff stealth on public servers: letting moderators and admins observe players without being visible in‑game or via some server lists. It is intended for production Spigot/Paper servers and multi‑server networks when used with a proxy (Bungee/Velocity) as indicated in the official resource listing and author API repository.

⚙ Main features

• Staff vanish / hide functionality (vanish implementation usable by other plugins). ()
• Support for proxy environments (Bungee/Velocity) as indicated in the resource title and changelogs. ()
• Official API available (PremiumVanishAPI) for plugin authors to integrate with PremiumVanish state. ()

🧩 Who it's for

PremiumVanish is suited for server owners and admins who need staff monitoring tools on:

• Survival and PvP servers that require discreet moderation;
• Networks using Spigot/Paper with BungeeCord or Velocity proxies;
• Plugin authors who want to detect or react to vanish state via an API.

🏗 Usage examples

• Moderators toggle vanish to investigate reports without alerting players.
• A moderation plugin queries PremiumVanish API to hide vanish staff from public staff lists.
• Placeholder or chat plugins use PremiumVanish integration to avoid showing vanished players in certain displays. ()

⌨️ Commands

Information note: the canonical Spigot resource page historically lists commands and messages; consult the official resource for exact command nodes and examples. ()

🔐 Permissions

The PremiumVanish API and resource page typically describe permission nodes; those exact nodes were not accessible to me for verification. ()

⚙ Installation

📥 Install

• Download the PremiumVanish .jar from the official resource (Spigot resource page) or the plugin author’s official channel. ()
• Place the .jar into your server's plugins/ folder.
• Fully restart the server (do not rely on /reload).

📦 Dependencies

• No explicit mandatory runtime dependencies were listed in the official sources I could access. PremiumVanish is known to expose an API used by other plugins rather than requiring specific plugins. For integration with other systems, plugin authors may optionally integrate with PlaceholderAPI or other ecosystem plugins if they choose, but those are not confirmed as required dependencies in the primary sources. ()

🧾 Configuration

• It is common for plugins of this type to generate a plugin folder and config files on first run; explicit confirmation that PremiumVanish creates config.yml or supports MySQL/SQLite was not present in the accessible official sources. Information about message files and placeholders is referenced in changelogs and resource notes. ()

🧠 Additional information

Known issues & limits

• There are reports where players hidden by PremiumVanish appear in Bedrock players' lists when using Geyser; this is a cross‑platform visibility issue reported to Geyser upstream. Administrators using Bedrock<->Java bridging should test vanish behavior. ()
• Integration and behavior can vary by server core and proxy setup; test on a staging server before deploying to production. ()

FAQ

1. Does PremiumVanish work across Bungee/Velocity proxies?
   • The plugin resource and changelogs advertise Bungee/Velocity support; consult the official resource for configuration examples. ()
2. Is there an API for other plugins?
   • Yes — an API repository for PremiumVanish exists to help plugin authors integrate with vanish state. ()
3. Will vanished players be hidden from all displays (tab, dynmap, external plugins)?
   • That depends on how the other plugin integrates; many plugins add explicit compatibility with PremiumVanish, but behavior varies per plugin. Check each integration's docs. ()
4. Does PremiumVanish collect analytics / bStats?
   • Information about telemetry or bStats usage was not present in the official sources I accessed.

Support & community

• The primary resource for downloads, change logs and support is the plugin’s Spigot resource and the PremiumVanish API repository for developers. For cross‑plugin issues (for example Bedrock visibility via Geyser), refer to the related project issue trackers. ()
