Developers
Add the modrinth maven repository to your build.gradle.
repositories {
// There might be other repos there too, just add it at the end
maven { url "https://api.modrinth.com/maven" }
}
Declare vanish as an optional dependency!
dependencies {
// You will have other dependencies here too
modCompileOnly "maven.modrinth:vanish:[VERSION]"
}
Before using the API you need to make sure the mod is actually loaded, by checking FabricLoader.getInstance().isModLoaded("melius-vanish");.
If the mod is present you can use VanishAPI and VanishEvents to integrate your own mods.
Datapacks
Datapacks can use an entity predicate like vanish:visible
to check if an entity is vanished. You should add this predicate to your datapack and use it to check whether a player
can be seen by other players (in respect to vanish). It is designed to return true when the vanish mod is not installed
to stay compatible with vanilla.

Vanish server crashes on startup – what to do?

Is Vanish compatible with fabric and quilt?
Vanish officially supports fabric, quilt for Minecraft 26.2, 26.2-rc-2, 26.1.2. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Vanish – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Vanish consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
