Thanks, looks good.

@Woozie321

Looks good. Compatibility considerations:

• One (clearly minor) consideration might be still allowing '§' for reading colors from the configuration, for those who might update using old configs, no real issue.
• Are you building with java 7? I assume that's ok, i wouldn't though force the latest java version, for the case that the server (spigot) builds against an older version of java, with some hosters possibly still getting updates for java 7 or what not. Java 8 isn't even in the repository of some of the typical stable distributions.

Considerations (abandoned?):

• I currently don't really update those legacy type of plugins, unless asked for, main reason:
  • Time isn't plenty.
  • I would need it for my own server, but due to NCP taking too much time, i hardly get to even think about updating that from the pre-uuid state (including data migration).

• Concerning implementation:
  • A vanish plugin/mode using spectator mode would be really nice to have for administrators, for just watching others, because there is much less interaction with the environment. The drawback is, that it can't be used for ordinary players who are not meant to go through walls, and there also is no place for the features like flags or opening chests in a convenient way. So the basic concepts of SimpliVanish still make sense.

If you keep to the license for used code and continue the basic concept, i don't have a problem with you continuing the plugin on spigotmc. You could also upload new builds here, if desired. In any case i'd place a link to the new page.

Is there a page on spigotmc already?

@Woozie321

Do you have a link to the repository?

@Dillzzzzz

I thought i did, though :p (no joke).

@Flexo013

Looks like i have not uploaded the latest version yet, or it has not been approved !?

The latest version does contain a new flag ("online"), which will let SimplyVanish treat you as if you were online, when leaving/joining.

I will re-upload.

@PeliApina

Yes - the idea is to prevent any kind of interaction by default, just when vanished.

You can activate block breaking and item pickup and all the like with flags.

That would be the /vanflag command then:

@Seaolt41

Still using it on 1.7.4.

@Mysticforce12345

It should still work with DisguiseCraft. The other plugins i don't know, inventory stuff should be independent, world edit also - essentials has a vanish feature too, which might conflict if used.

@InfernoVortex

Commands and permissions are explained here:

@mds818

I think you have to give the permission simplyvanish.see-all in order to see vanished players.

Undoing the hiding from the tab list can't be done without accessing the servers internals, because the CraftBukkit implementation of the vanish API takes care of the packet sending on that aspect and the API does not allow control over it.

I could add sending a packet indicating that the player is online, however at least modified clients would be able to detect that (not the big point probably).
