Spectator Quick-Switch

Double-tap Shift while vanished to instantly enter Spectator mode. Double-tap again to return to your exact previous gamemode.

Requirements

  • Player must be vanished
  • Permission: vanishpp.spectator
  • Rule spectator_gamemode must be true for that player
  • Master switch must be on

Enabling / Disabling

Master switch (affects all players):
📁 plugins/Vanishpp/config.yml → vanish-gamemodes.enabled: false
🔧 In-game: /vconfig vanish-gamemodes.enabled false
🔄 Apply: /vreload

Per-player toggle:
/vrules spectator_gamemode false
This disables the feature for that specific player without affecting others.

Change default for all new players:
📁 plugins/Vanishpp/config.yml → default-rules.spectator_gamemode: false
🔧 In-game: /vconfig default-rules.spectator_gamemode false

Forced Restore on Unvanish

When a player unvanishes while in Spectator mode, they are automatically forced back to their previous gamemode.

To let a player stay in Spectator after unvanishing:
Assign permission: vanishpp.spectator.bypass
Via your permission plugin or: /vperms <player> vanishpp.spectator.bypass set

Feedback Message

A 3-second action bar message is shown when entering or exiting Spectator mode. This message is not overwritten by the vanish status bar for its full duration.
