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 personal VANISHED boss 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

Commands

- /vanish or /v — Toggle vanish for yourself
- /v toggle [player] — Toggle vanish for yourself or another player
- /v get [player] — Check a player's vanish state
- /v queue [player] — Queue vanish for the next login
- /v see allow <player> — Allow a player to see you
- /v see deny <player> — Revoke trusted-viewer access
- /v see list — Display trusted viewers
- /v see clear — Clear trusted viewers

- /v reload — Refresh runtime settings and integrations
- /v help — Display command help

Commands require operator level 2 by default and support NeoForge permission nodes.

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.

Installation

1. Install NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1.
2. Place the Just Vanish JAR in the server's mods folder.
3. Start the server.
4. Customize world/serverconfig/justvanish-server.toml if required.

Do not install another vanish mod at the same time.

Requirements

- Minecraft 1.21.1
