Is there a way to make vanished players only appear offline to essentials if they did /vanish on fake. I find this bothersome because players always accuse me of spying on them if I do not appear online to essentials after doing /vanish (Which I generally am spying on them, which defys the whole purpose of this plugin, to secretly spy on players). Could you please provide a fix, configuration option, or explanation for this? Thank you.

Currently in Bukkit when you hide your entity you also hide yourself from online lists and other ways of being noticed.

Is there a way you could then fake that the player is online, even though they are online but are seen as offline? Similar to what FakePlayers does?

@mbax Sorry for tagging you, but i wanted to let you know that i replied

@mbax Certainly. Basically what http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/fakeplayers does is they make fake usernames listed in the essentials online list and also on the tablist. No idea how he does it though

that's heading a bit outside what I'd want to do with the plugin. :/

@mbax how so? When a player vanishes, it already removes them from the game, all you would be doing is adding them back in (by creating a fake player) to distract players from wondering how you are answering them while offline (often happens on my server being im the only mod on most of the time)

Wait wat. Could you describe that in a bit more detail.

It does not remove them from the game. So you can't have a fake player.

This is 99.9% impossible.

@mbax It's a bit different, but with citizens you can have multiple "players" with the same name, wouldn't this work relatively the same way only with tablist and essentials instead? Or is this 100% impossible?
