Invis Death Message

Keep invisible killers anonymous without changing ordinary death messages.

Features

Feature	What it does	Applies to
Anonymous killers	Replaces an invisible killer's name with a seven-character animated obfuscated name.	Player melee and projectile kills
Weapon privacy	Uses a generic death message that reveals neither the weapon name nor the damage type.	Deaths caused by invisible players
Server-side only	Works automatically without commands, configuration, client mods, or hard dependencies.	Every connected player

Supported platforms: Paper and Purpur for Minecraft 26.1–26.2. The plugin runs entirely server-side, so players do not need to install anything.

Start the server with Invis Death Message installed.
A player gains the Invisibility effect.
The invisible player kills another player directly or with a projectile.
The plugin replaces the killer's identity with an animated obfuscated name and removes the weapon and damage details.
When the killer is visible, the normal death message passes through unchanged.

Tip: Only an invisible player killer triggers the hidden message. Invisible victims and deaths caused by non-player entities are not anonymized.
