SuperVanish is a supervanish plugin for Bukkit, Spigot, Paper and Purpur servers that lets admins turn invisible to other players. It is a server-side operator tool with two modes, plain vanish and a stealthier supervanish. Players install nothing on their side.
Server software and versions
- Bukkit, Paper and Spigot: Minecraft 1.20 to 26.2. The newest build needs no dependencies.
- Purpur: Minecraft 1.21 to 26.2. The newest build needs no dependencies.
How the two vanish modes work
Typing /vanish hides you from normal players. Anyone in this mode shows up in /vanish-list, and /vanish-show lets you make a chosen player visible to yourself. Adding --all to /vanish-show reveals every vanished player at once.
/supervanish goes further. Supervanished players do not appear in /vanish-show or /vanish-list, so by default the mode cannot be detected with those commands. That makes it the mode for admins who want no trace in the plugin's own listings.
Commands and permissions
- /vanish needs vanish.use.
- /vanish-list needs vanish.list.
- /vanish-show needs vanish.show.
- /supervanish needs vanish.supervanish.
Installation
Place the plugin file in the plugins folder of your server and restart it. The newest release needs no other plugins or libraries. New to the process? The plugin installation guide walks through it for Paper and Spigot.
What to expect
The feature set is narrow, centred on four commands that control visibility. The plugin is MIT licensed and can be built from source with Gradle and Java JDK 17.
Questions about SuperVanish.
4 questions
How do I use the SuperVanish plugin?
Type /vanish to become invisible to normal players, or /supervanish for the mode that /vanish-list and /vanish-show cannot reveal. Operators can use both immediately, because the permissions default to op. Other staff need vanish.use or vanish.supervanish granted through a permissions setup.
What is the difference between vanish and supervanish?
Normal vanish hides you from players, but you still appear in /vanish-list and can be made visible with /vanish-show. Supervanish hides you from those listing commands too, so by default it is completely undetectable through them. Each mode has its own command and permission.
Does SuperVanish need a permissions plugin?
No. The permissions vanish.use, vanish.list, vanish.show and vanish.supervanish default to op, so operators can use every command without setup.
Which software does SuperVanish run on?
It runs on Bukkit, Spigot, Paper and Purpur servers, and the newest release needs no dependencies. It is a server-side plugin only. Players join with a normal setup and install nothing, and no Folia or proxy support is stated.
