How should OP Vanish be implemented?

We can still use coreprotect for the vanished griefers. I do not see why not making it full.

Or what we could do is that the sole command that will still show users is /near

↩  videogamesm12 god if only the near range was capped for seeing vanished people. i think that would be an interesting remady to it

As I've already said elsewhere, for me OP vanish:

• is pointless
• gives trolls a field day
• misleads players into believing the server's more empty than it actually is

↩  videogamesm12 don't think it'd make a difference to an op if they were vanished or not in a chunkban

As long as it doesn't impact the player counts and any op can see who is online I don't really think it matters the finer detail either way.

I Object to OP's using vanish. /vanish is intended to be an admin's utility that allows admins to appear 'offline' for discrete administration. OP's already have access to invisibility potions so why should they be given access to a command that can let them appear offline and is intended to be an administration tool. This also would make the server seem more empty since they wouldn't be in tab.

I'm sorry, but I don't really see the point of "OP Vanish". If you want privacy, you could always do /tptoggle.

Fwiw the partial vanish described here is already possible. Disguising as an invisible entity (albeit currently disabled while the plugin is patched) does exactly what it says on the tin - hiding the player from sight and from the tab but keeping them accessible everywhere else.

Since this has already been a thing that players often do, I don't have any issues with what's described in the partial setting. I believe it's a nice balance of a player seeming offline but being accessible if they need to be accessed. And bringing it into the /vanish command will make it more accessible to all players, rather than just the select few who know the long command for disguising as an invisible entity.

Anybody that’s objected to this feature because of trolling is being obtuse. Ever since operators have been able to use /tptoggle there’s been no concern over a player having their privacy violated on the server, and it’s not like this command obstructs the packets sent by a player (they’re still online) so block logging plugins would work fine.

In my opinion there are plenty of people who are against this because it gives players a feature that was previously available only to admins.

Adding this to the server brings this place more in line with the “freedom” branding, removes another feature exclusive to admins for no particular reason and gives it to all the players. There’s no reason not to do it.

↩  erin isn't /disguise broken or something?

↩  resident_user Have I ever seen you in game? What's uour username?

Also your view of staff is so 2018, I can assure you toxic members didn't make it through Ryan's dictatorship management.

↩ @'r00t' Disabled until the devs release a custom plugin for 1.17.1 too.

↩  videogamesm12 Actually… There is a way to see if there is anyone vanished online so players could report them. I'm not going to say how to do it though, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to.

↩  ThePyroManActualAccount yeah, we're aware of the several ways of finding out whether or not a vanished player is online.

The thing is, the full vanish would mean that op vanish and admin vanish would be identical (aside from admins being able to see vanished ops), so when that's patched for admins, it will do the same for op vanish and they would be undetectable by other ops (unless they break blocks or chat)

A partial vanish would solve this issue as it keeps the op vanish separate from the admin version.
