Minecraft plugin PremiumVanish

🔌 About PremiumVanish

PremiumVanish is a Minecraft plugin for server staff that provides advanced vanish and invisibility features. It focuses on making staff presence and inspection actions discreet across single servers and proxy networks. The plugin is commonly used on Spigot-based servers and includes explicit support for cross-server vanish when deployed with a proxy layer.

🎯 Purpose

PremiumVanish solves the problem of staff needing to observe or moderate players without being seen. It centralizes invisibility behavior, tab-list and join/quit message handling, and cross-server visibility so staff can operate without disrupting normal player experience.

⚙️ Features

• Multiple invisibility methods (including hybrid/no-packet approaches) to hide players in-game and in tab lists.
• Cross-server vanish support for proxy networks (BungeeCord/Velocity) with configuration options for shared data backends.
• Layered permissions/see-permission options so different staff tiers can see different vanished players.
• Configurable messages and admin announcements for vanish/reappear events.
• Hooks / optional integration points with other plugins (placeholder and disguise systems, scoreboard and nametag plugins, etc.).
• Options to adjust game-mode, flight, and other player state while vanished and to restore state on reappear.

🧩 Who It Is For

• Server administrators and moderate-to-large staff teams that need discreet moderation tools.
• Networks using a proxy (BungeeCord or Velocity) that require cross-server staff invisibility.
• Servers that rely on plugin hooks like disguises or placeholder systems to present hidden staff appropriately.

🏗️ Example Use Cases

• A moderator uses vanish to join a suspected-griefing session without alerting the offenders and records evidence.
• Network staff toggle a cross-server vanish so they are hidden on all backend servers while troubleshooting.
• Server owners set layered "see" permissions so senior admins can detect junior staff who are vanished.

⚙️ Installation

📥 Setup

• Download the official PremiumVanish plugin JAR and place it in your server plugins/ directory for Spigot-compatible servers.
• If you use a proxy (BungeeCord/Velocity) and want cross-server vanish, install/configure PremiumVanish on the proxy and backend servers and configure the shared backend per the plugin configuration.
• Restart the server and check console logs to confirm the plugin loaded.

🧠 Technical Notes

• PremiumVanish includes explicit support for proxy networks (BungeeCord and Velocity) and provides configuration options to use a shared database (MySQL) or other backend settings for cross-server vanish synchronization.
• The plugin provides many configurable options (tab-list handling, fake join/quit messages, action-bar/display settings, game-mode and flight toggles while vanished) which are exposed in its configuration files.
• PremiumVanish is distributed as a paid resource on the primary plugin resource page and is maintained via its Spigot resource and forum thread.

🤝 When This Plugin Is Useful

If your server or network needs configurable, network-aware invisibility for staff with layered permission controls and a range of integration hooks, PremiumVanish provides these features while running on Spigot-based servers and proxy networks.
