SneakAttack banner SneakAttack is a plugin that makes players invisible upon crouching. Taking damage, interacting with most objects, or interacting with other players will disable the invisible effect. This mod is meant for PVP servers to allow players to sneak more easily or for disadvantaged players to sneak up on heavily armored targets.
