# Vanish v3.1.2 - Bug Fixes, Performance Boost & bStats Targeted fixes, a full internal cleanup and technical improvements for a more stable and performant Vanish. ## 🐛 Bug Fixes - **Fixed:** The vanish metadata key is now a single `static final` constant and vanish checks no longer go through player metadata - reduces garbage collection overhead - **Fixed:** Fake join/quit messages no longer use the deprecated `Bukkit.broadcastMessage()` - they are sent to every player and the console directly, future-proof - **Fixed:** Inventory close events now skip non-vanished players immediately - ⚡ *Impact: Reduces unnecessary processing for 100% of non-staff players* - **Fixed:** `/vanish <player>` with an unknown or offline name no longer toggles your own vanish - **Fixed:** Using a subcommand without permission no longer toggles your own vanish - **Fixed:** A player who logged out while vanished is no longer left hidden from others after rejoining visible - **Fixed:** Players with `vanish.join` but without `vanish.see` can no longer see other vanished players - **Fixed:** Unvanishing no longer makes players in creative mode or with `/fly` fall out of the air - **Fixed:** Items can no longer be dragged or placed into the Vanish menus - **Fixed:** Menus no longer open a new inventory inside the click event, which could cause inventory glitches - **Fixed:** Menus use the new accent color right after `/vanish color` or `/vanish reload` - **Fixed:** Silent containers no longer open twice (once per hand) - **Fixed:** Players in the silent container spectator fallback get their game mode back when they disconnect or the server stops - **Fixed:** The pressure plate protection no longer overrides other plugins that cancelled the interaction - **Fixed:** `vanish.*` now grants every Vanish permission and respects negated child permissions - **Fixed:** A YAML error in `config.yml` no longer causes the file to be overwritten - **Fixed:** The Dynmap integration now also works on Spigot (the plugin was looked up with the wrong name) - **Fixed:** With ProtocolLib, silent containers no longer show the closing animation or play the closing sound to nearby players when the container was open for more than 2.5 seconds - **Fixed:** Silent containers respect chest protection plugins, and sneak-clicking a container with an item in hand uses the item (e.g. places the block) instead of opening the container - **Fixed:** A vanished player is no longer left in spectator mode when another plugin prevents a container from opening - **Fixed:** Join and quit messages set by other plugins are now also hidden for vanished players - **Fixed:** Plugins that handle the quit after Vanish (such as Discord bridges) still see a quitting vanished player as vanished and no longer announce the quit - **Fixed:** Changing the plugin color now sends a confirmation, both with `/vanish color <color>` and in the color menu - **Fixed:** Vanished players no longer show up when hovering over the player count in the server list on Paper 1.20.6 - **Fixed:** Advancements of vanished players are no longer announced on Spigot 1.21.11 and newer without ProtocolLib (the game rule was renamed, which caused an error on every vanish) - **Fixed:** No more ProtocolLib errors in the console when vanished players open containers on 1.21.11, and the container sounds are hidden there again - **Fixed:** Vanish now disables itself with a clear error message if it cannot start on an incompatible server ## 🧱 Stability & Thread Safety (suggested by pupserjapi7-crypto) - **Dependency handling:** ProtocolLib, PlaceholderAPI and Dynmap are soft dependencies that load first when present; a missing or broken integration is logged and skipped instead of breaking Vanish - **No disk I/O on the main thread:** `players.yml` is read once at startup and cached in memory - joins and quits never touch the disk - **Asynchronous saving:** changes to `players.yml` are written on a background thread and flushed when the server stops; an unreadable file is never overwritten - **Thread-safe vanish state:** vanished players are tracked in a concurrent set with O(1) lookups, safe for packet listeners, PlaceholderAPI and the API - ⚡ *Impact: No lag spikes on join/quit and no race conditions with async plugins* ## 🔧 Technical Improvements - **Config Reload:** `/vanish reload` now refreshes ALL cached values instantly (settings, messages, player data, boss bar and advancement handling) - ⚡ *Impact: No more server restarts needed after config changes - ever* - **VanishPlayer Caching:** Player objects are now cached and reused - ⚡ *Performance: Eliminates redundant object creation on high-frequency events* - **Gradle Shadow:** Dependencies properly relocated - no more conflicts with other plugins - ⚡ *Impact: Better compatibility with plugin ecosystems* - **Clean Codebase:** The custom framework was replaced by standard Bukkit structure (one plugin class, plain listeners, a `TabExecutor` command and typed config access), Lombok was removed and unit tests were added - ⚡ *Impact: Easier to maintain, review and contribute to* - **Tested:** 66 automated tests on a mock server, plus live tests with bot players on Spigot and Paper from 1.20.1 to 26.2 (26.3: startup and console commands), with and without ProtocolLib, PlaceholderAPI and Dynmap - ⚡ *Impact: The fixes above were verified on real servers across the supported range* ## 🔐 Security & Dependencies - **Gradle 9.8.1:** Fixes three high-severity Gradle security advisories (build tooling only - servers were never affected) - **Verified downloads:** The Gradle Wrapper checks the distribution checksum, and third-party repositories may only serve their own artifacts - **Upgraded:** Shadow 9.6.1, PlaceholderAPI 2.12.3, JUnit 6.1.3 - removed the unused Gson and Lombok dependencies - **Pinned:** Libraries pulled in by the new test suite (commons-lang3, log4j-api, plexus-utils) are forced to patched versions - test only, never shipped with the plugin - **Scanned:** All build and test dependencies checked against OSV.dev - 0 known vulnerabilities ## 🧑‍💻 For Developers - `VanishAPI` is unchanged; `getVanishedPlayers()` now returns a snapshot - The main class is now `nl.fronsky.vanish.VanishPlugin` (was `Main`) - Removed internal helpers: `VanishPlayer.getPlayer(...)`, `VanishPlayer.setState(...)` and `VisibilityChangeEvent.getData()` / `getProtocolLib()` / `isProtocolLibActive()` - use `VanishAPI` instead - Errors inside API calls are no longer silently swallowed - Tests run on a mock server with mock players (MockBukkit); Gradle downloads JDK 21 for the tests automatically, while the plugin itself stays on Java 17 ## ⚡ Performance Summary - VanishPlayer caching: fewer object allocations per event - Config reload: instant refresh, no restart - Event filtering: non-vanished players skip processing entirely - Player data: no file I/O on the main thread - Vanish checks: O(1) and thread-safe ## 🛡️ bStats Metrics - Anonymous, opt-out usage statistics - Opt out for all plugins at once in `plugins/bStats/config.yml` - See live data at https://bstats.org/plugin/bukkit/Fronsky%20Vanish - ⚡ *Impact: Helps prioritize development based on real usage data* --- 📋 **Config:** No config changes required - the new optional message `plugin_color_changed` in `messages.yml` falls back to its default 🔄 **Compatibility:** Spigot/Paper 1.20 - 26.1+ | Java 17
