HIDE!
by Aurelith_MX
HIDE! lets a server admin make their own player invisible to other players, removed from the Tab list and the waypoint bar.
What it does
Once an admin enables hiding, the player disappears from the Tab list of other players and from their world, including the main hand, off-hand and equipment. The waypoint or locator bar entry introduced in 1.21.11 is removed as well. Disabling hiding restores visibility, and the player reappears to others after a resynchronization. The hidden state is stored in the world directory and survives a server restart.
The mod works only on the server, so players connect with vanilla clients and install nothing. Commands are limited to admins through the Permissions.COMMANDS ADMIN check. Some outputs tied to visibility are suppressed for hidden players, and the hidden state no longer intercepts chat command input, which keeps command execution chains working. Signals that depend on the player's presence still need separate handling, and brief display desynchronization or protocol errors can appear after a dimension change.
HIDE! is published for Fabric only, with a single game version, 1.21.11, and its latest file is 1.2.1 for 1.21.11 on the beta channel. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Hide from the Tab list
Other players lose sight of a concealed player in the Tab list and in the locator bar.
Invisible to other players
Other players no longer see the hidden player's model or held items, including main hand, off-hand and equipment.
Admin-only command
Enabling and disabling hiding requires the admin command permission, so regular players cannot use it.
Persistent hidden state
The hidden state is saved in the world directory and is kept after the server restarts.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners and administrators who need an invisible staff presence on a Fabric server. Players on vanilla clients need nothing installed.
How it compares
Invisible TAB name is server-side only, uses All rights reserved and is published for 1.21.8 on Fabric, so it is not open source. Command Waypoints is server-side only, open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and covers 1.21.6 – 1.21.10 on Fabric, so it works on an earlier range than HIDE!.

Note: Hidden state no longer intercepts chat or command input, so as not to interfere with command execution chains.
