Vanish-X Changelog

All notable changes to the Vanish-X project will be documented in this file.

[1.26.1] - 2026-04-16

🚀 New Features

• Surgical Logic Engine: Introduced a dual-engine architecture.
  • Normal Mode: Lightweight invisibility for standard staff.
  • Advanced Mode: Deep state isolation, automatic inventory wipes, and staff tool distribution.
• Silent Engine Shift: Support for switching between Normal and Advanced modes while vanished without triggering join/leave messages or appearing to players.
• Vanish-X Dashboard: Ultra-modern, paged GUI for managing per-player settings with support for 1.8 through modern versions.
• Investigative Stealth: Surgical "View-Only" mode for container inspections. Vanished players can look at chests/Ender Chests without sounds or animations, while interaction is blocked for security.

🛠️ Hardening & Optimization

• Standardized Commands: Refactored the command system to be singular and more professional (e.g., /vanish setting instead of settings, removed redundant on/off subcommands).
• Packet-Level Suppression: Hardened the silent container engine to intercept and cancel block animations and sound packets at the ProtocolLib level.
• Error Handling: Implemented a global vanish.invalid-usage handler for cleaner feedback across all subcommands.
• Anti-Grief: Implemented surgical interaction locking to prevent vanished staff from breaking blocks or dropping items inadvertently.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed container sound leakage for observers during staff inspections.
• Resolved item "ghosting" issues when staff interactions were cancelled.
• Corrected state desynchronization when switching vanish modes via GUI while visible.
