BetterVanish is a high-performance vanish plugin designed specifically for modern Paper servers (1.21.10). It goes far beyond simple invisibility and delivers a fully undetectable stealth mode built for professional staff environments.
When a player activates vanish, they are completely removed from normal gameplay detection. They are invisible, silent, immune to damage, and cannot trigger redstone, sculk sensors, vibrations, pressure plates, or mob spawning. Vanished players do not appear in command selectors, tab completion, the /list command, or the server's player count. Join, leave, death, and advancement messages are fully suppressed.
Players with the permission vanish.see can view vanished players with 50% transparency, ensuring staff coordination without exposing hidden moderators.
BetterVanish maintains full persistence across:
Teleports
World changes
Respawns
Gamemode changes

The plugin is optimized for performance and built with a clean architecture using a dedicated VanishManager system and public API for integration with other plugins.
