Welcome to the HidePlayer Wiki

HidePlayer is a lightweight yet powerful plugin designed for Minecraft servers (Spigot/Paper 1.20+) that allows administrators or specific players to hide their real identity. Players can change their nickname and skin without reconnecting or restarting the server.

Key Features

  • Instant Identity Hiding: Change your nickname and skin instantly on the server via a single command.
  • Smart Admin Panel: An interactive menu (GUI) designed to view and manage all players who are currently hidden. It has pagination and is fully customizable.
  • PlaceholderAPI Support: Multiple placeholders that you can integrate seamlessly into your Scoreboard, Chat format, or Tablist.
  • Multilingual: The plugin includes native support for translations (en and es included by default). You can add any languages you need.
  • Customizable Sounds: The plugin plays configurable sounds when a player hides, reveals themselves, or when an error occurs.
  • Update System: Automatically notifies administrators when a new version of the plugin is available for download.

Additional Requirements

To ensure proper functionality of the plugin on your server, the following is required:

  • Server Version: Spigot or Paper for version 1.20 or higher.
  • Java: You must have Java 17 or higher installed.
  • Soft-Dependencies:
    • (Optional) PlaceholderAPI - Required if you want to use the plugin's variables elsewhere and for the admin chat format feature to work.
    • (Optional) SkinsRestorer - Required to change the player's visual skin when using the hide command.

Installation

  1. Download the latest version of the HidePlayer .jar file from the Releases section.
  2. Place the .jar file into your server's plugins folder.
  3. Make sure you have the dependencies SkinsRestorer and PlaceholderAPI (recommended for the full experience!).
  4. Restart (or start) your server so the plugin loads and generates the configuration files.
  5. Customize the configuration in the plugins/HidePlayer/config.yml file and you are ready to go!
