Vanish++ Wiki

Welcome to the official Vanish++ documentation. Vanish++ is a packet-level vanish plugin for Paper, Folia, Purpur, Spigot, and Bukkit - making vanished administrators mathematically undetectable.

📁 All plugin files live in plugins/Vanishpp/ on your server.
🔧 Most settings can be changed live in-game with /vconfig <key> <value> and take effect immediately.
🔄 After editing any file directly, run /vreload to apply changes without a restart.
