Welcome to the official AppleVanish wiki.

AppleVanish is a staff-focused vanish plugin for Paper 1.16.5-1.21.x that aims to provide a clean, believable, and practical moderation experience across a wide range of Minecraft server versions.

What AppleVanish does

AppleVanish allows staff members to hide from regular players while keeping vanish behavior natural and low-noise.

When a player enables vanish:

• the plugin can send a fake leave message
• the player is hidden from normal visibility
• the player can be hidden from the tab list on supported versions
• public chat can be blocked while vanished
• combat can be blocked while vanished

When the player disables vanish:

• the plugin can send a fake join message
• the player becomes visible again
• normal interaction is restored
