Vanish 2
Disappear!
I needed a quick and simple invisibility solution for my server, but not one that required Spout to use, so I dug up this abandoned project, and updated it to work with the latest Bukkit. Any thanks or donations for this should probably go to EvilNilla as the previous updater or to Nodren as the original developer (all I did was replace some deprecated code and cleaned it up a tiny bit.) I will try to keep this current if nothing else, but I can add features upon request if there is enough interest to warrant it.
Features:
Invisibility with toggling of item pickups, mob targeting and listing of vanished players, DOES NOT require Spout (just Craftbukkit).
Commands:
- /poof | /vanish - Vanish.
- /nopickup - Disable item pickup.
Permissions:
- vanish.* - All permissions (OP has this by default)
- vanish.vanish - Vanish
- vanish.list - Show vanished players
- vanish.nopickup - Disable item pickup
- vanish.nopickup.list - Show players with pickup disabled
- vanish.noaggromobs - Disable mob targeting
Limitations:
Though this works completely on standard clients, some hacked clients can circumvent this plugin. If your purpose in using this plugin is purely administrative, be aware that the occasional griefer/cheater might be able to see you. You can look at that as a serious issue with the plugin and instead use VanishNoPacket which offers much more in features and security, but DOES require your server to run Spout. HOWEVER: You can use this to your advantage as an X-Ray detector. Using this plugin, when you know you've been seen, you then know that the person that saw you was cheating (using a hacked client.) That's all I need to know administratively to take action, but if your server allows certain types of cheating or hacked clients, this may not allow you to effectively snoop. (Although if you prevent griefing or cheating because the offending party knows that an admin/owner is watching, your mission is accomplished anyway.)
Anyone who isn't cheating will not be able to see a player who is invisible. So far in testing we have not found an exception to this rule. Additionally, though it is stated elsewhere that this plugin can be circumvented, I, nor the players on my server have actually observed this, so it may be a rare case. *EDIT* We have now directly observed hacked clients that can see invisible users. It still seems to be rare, but it happens. Again, you can use this to your advantage as a built-in X-Ray detector, or you can go with Spout and the more secure vanish plugin for absolute invisibility.

Come back.... ;(
is this updated for 1.2.5?
Yes! This is exactly what I needed...now where is the download link!? D:
You should really update it to 1.2.4. I love this plugin. I like it more than the vanish-no-packet because you can still talk while vanished, open chests while vanished, and it is simply much more open ended than the other. Please update it! I love this plugin!

VanishNopacket is too damn complicated for what it is. Also it seems to make me vanished each time i join a server, and the settings dont work.
vanish2 is simple and works. thanks checking out your update. seems to work but i dunno. no players online right now to test. thanks again :D
Not working on 1.2.3.
Current VNP is causing lag spikes on vanishes
For anyone looking for a fast and easy replacement.

As errortown has said VanishNoPacket no longer requires Spout, which is the reason Vanish2 was released in the first place.
So,
A) Give VNP a shot
or
B) I made a quickfix from the abandoned VNP code for CB1.2.3-R0.1 which you can download here.
could you please update this for 1.2.3 ??
Please update to R5-6. Thanks for the great plugin!
@skymcd
Your problem is the new build of bukkit. We need to wait for Vanish to be updated. Look for plugins that are for R6 - 1.2
Speaking of which, will we see an update soon?
hello there...Can u update it for the new minecraft?
hi guys for some reason it says error corrupt jarfile if you know why please tell me im new to bukkit but i want to learn so please tell me !!!
errortown hasn't been seen in nearly two months. In the mean time, VanishNoPacket no longer requires Spout and thus there is no longer any obstacle to using VanishNoPacket. This was the original reason for this Vanish2 plugin, the reason errortown put it out. Now that VNP no longer needs Spout, its much faster and runs as it originally should have.
If you have troubles with VNP, please do contact me via PM or post to the VanishNoPacket forum.
@Crayder
Yes please, it is so simple and useful, please don't let it become inactive!
@deleted_7554077
VNP lagged my server out when ever and mod logged on
@Crayder
Why don't you like VNP? It doesn't need Spout anymore.
Please don't let this die! Great plugin, I don't like VNP. Silent chests would be fantastic.
