PhantomCompatChat
Vanilla chat that's compatible with administrative vanish/phantom plugins
Did you know that you can get a list of all actual players on the server by using tab-complete with the vanilla /tell command? This will show all players, even those that are vanished! While it may be possible to intercept the tab-complete packet and remove those who are vanished in the tab-complete list, I decided to write a very small plugin that replicates vanilla's /tell command.
By default, plugins will not send administratively-hidden players when sending a tab-complete list to the player. Obviously, this plugin is of no use to you if you use a chat management plugin like EssentialsChat.
There is no configuration, and one permission (phantomcompatchat.tell), which is given by default (similar to vanilla).
If you decide to use this plugin, I would advise negating the following permissions as such in your permissions manager:
- -minecraft.command.tell
(There is also bukkit.command.tell, but it doesn't seem to do anything.) Doing this will prevent players from finding a way to access the vanilla command, and thus use that to tab-complete the list of players.
Note: vanilla behavior isn't 100% replicated in the console (regarding content of error messages), but I doubt that's a concern.
Some plugins that make sense to use along with PhantomCompatChat:
PhantomAdmin (Note: PhantomAdmin has already implemented a solution to fix this. There is no need to use PhantomCompatChat if you use PhantomAdmin.)

Hmm, interesting. Well, if that bukkit command actually works (I've already tried using syntax to invoke it such as /bukkit:tell, only disabling the minecraft perm, etc.), then there would be no need for this plugin... https://github.com/Bukkit/Bukkit/blob/master/src/main/java/org/bukkit/command/defaults/TellCommand.java#L29
Then again, I only tested in CB 1.8.8 so things might've been changed.
Also, /w and /msg don't seem to be registered on a vanilla CB instance, though I could attempt to double check that.

Posted Jan 31, 2016Bukkit's tell command, does something. You can see it here: https://github.com/Bukkit/Bukkit/blob/master/src/main/java/org/bukkit/command/defaults/TellCommand.java . I'm guessing minecraft commands have a higher priority then bukkit ones, but if that is the case, you should disable both the minecraft.command.tell and the bukkit.command.tell.
