Just Vanish
Just Vanish is a lightweight, server-side moderation mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge. It keeps administrators hidden from unauthorized players while preserving the tools required to observe and manage a modded server.
Only the server needs the mod. Players can connect with an unmodified client.
Features
- Hide vanished players from entity tracking and rendering
- Remove vanished players from TAB and/list
- Preserve vanish state across deaths, reconnects, and server restarts
- Hide identifying join, leave, death, advancement, and system messages
- Suppress chat, direct sounds, pickup animations, and sculk game events
- Prevent mobs and projectiles from targeting vanished players
- Protect vanished players from unauthorized command selectors
- Allow specific trusted viewers with/v see
- Support vanilla teams using seeFriendlyInvisibles
- Allow authorized staff to target vanished players with commands such as/tp
- Display a configurable personalVANISHEDboss bar
- Integrate optionally with Simple Voice Chat
- Expose a public API and NeoForge vanish event
- Remain fully server-side and safe for modded dedicated servers

Compatibility
Just Vanish never inspects particle packets or references client-only particle classes. This prevents dedicated-server crashes caused by particle-producing items from other mods.
