AdvanceInvisibility
Advance Invisibility is a lightweight Paper plugin that enhances Minecraft's invisibility mechanic by removing the visual information that can still reveal an invisible player.
In vanilla Minecraft, players affected by the Invisibility effect can often still be located through visible equipment, held items, or other client-side cues. AdvanceInvisibility uses ProtocolLib to intercept and modify outgoing packets, ensuring invisible players remain hidden from other players while preserving server performance.
Features
- Removes visual cues that can expose invisible players.
- Packet-based implementation using ProtocolLib.
- Lightweight with minimal performance overhead.
- Built for Paper and compatible Paper-based server software.
- Supports Minecraft 1.21.x.
Requirements
- Paper or a compatible Paper fork.
- ProtocolLib (v5.4.0+)
- Vault (v1.7+)
- EssentialsX (Any)
Note: Instead of EssentialsX any economy plugin can be used.
