ImmersiveStealth

This initial release focuses on removing all standard social signals that reveal player presence, allowing servers to deliver a silent, immersive and singleplayer-like environment within multiplayer worlds.

Core Functionality

Implemented scoreboard-based nametag suppression.

Every player is automatically added to an internal scoreboard team with NAME_TAG_VISIBILITY set to NEVER.

Ensures nametags remain hidden at all times, even after player reconnects or server reloads.

Message Filtering

Removed all join messages.

Removed all quit messages.

Removed all kick messages.

Optional removal of global death messages via config.yml.

Prevents combat logs, death notifications or PvP kill announcements from exposing player locations or activity.

Advancement Silence

Automatically disables the server-wide announceAdvancements gamerule in all worlds.

Ensures no advancement appears in chat, as they can unintentionally reveal player progression or presence nearby.

Configuration

Added a minimalistic configuration file:

hide-nametags: true hide-join-quit-messages: true hide-death-messages: true auto-disable-advancements: true

All features enabled by default. No additional setup or dependencies required.

Compatibility and Performance

Pure Bukkit/Spigot implementation.

Compatible with Spigot, Paper, Purpur, and all standard forks.

No packet listeners, no player metadata injection, and no reflection used.

Extremely lightweight and stable.

Purpose

This release establishes the foundation of ImmersiveStealth: a server environment where players do not automatically detect each other unless they physically meet in the world or intentionally communicate.
