SuperVanish Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I know if I'm currently vanished?
Run the vanish command again or check your own player state; most setups show a status message or action bar indicator when you toggle vanish. If you can't see other players in tab and mobs ignore you, you're likely still vanished.
Why can other staff still see me when I'm vanished?
Players with the sv.see permission always see vanished staff, and this is intentional so your team can still coordinate. If you want to be hidden from them too, that's not what sv.see is for — it's a staff-visibility permission, not a true invisibility toggle.
Can vanished players still pick up items or take damage?
Both behaviors are configurable. By default vanished players often can't pick up items and take no damage, but you can change these in the config if you want a different behavior.
Do I stay vanished after the server restarts or reloads?
Yes, SuperVanish persists vanish state across reloads and restarts, so you don't have to re-vanish every time. If you want to reappear on restart, you'd need to change that behavior in the config.
Why do other players still see join/leave messages when I vanish?
By default the plugin suppresses the normal join/leave messages for hidden players, but fake join/leave broadcasts on vanish and reappear are separate and configurable. Check the config for the fake message options if you want silence or a custom broadcast.
Can hacked clients or mods detect me while I'm vanished?
SuperVanish is designed so hacked clients can't detect vanished players through normal means. However, no plugin can guarantee invisibility against every possible client-side exploit, so treat it as strong protection, not absolute.
How do I make vanished players show as ghosts instead of fully invisible?
Players with the sv.see permission can be
configured to see vanished staff as ghosts rather than fully invisible. This is controlled in the config, so you can toggle between full invisibility and ghost visibility for staff.

The plugin can adjust the player count shown in the server list, and this is configurable. If the count still includes you, check the config option for adjusting the displayed player count.
Can I change the tab name of vanished players?
Yes, the tab name of invisible players is configurable. You can set it to something like a blank entry or a custom label so other players don't notice a missing or odd name.
Does SuperVanish work with other plugins like chat or permissions plugins?
SuperVanish is generally compatible with permission plugins since it relies on the sv.see permission node. Chat and other plugins may still show vanished players unless they also respect vanish state, so test your specific combination.
