InvisibleAPI

Its project version used in gradle/maven

A small and simple packet-based API that allows you to set invisibility to players in such a way as to control who sees this invisibility in a given player.

Example of use:

At the very beginning you need to create an instance of the InvisibleAPI class. Note - make only one instance!

You will not have to save your instance. After creating it, you will have access to InvisibleAPI through the static method.

public class Main extends JavaPlugin {

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        // We are creating InvisibleAPI instance and giving Main class (that extends JavaPlugin) as argument
        new InvisibleAPI(this);

        // After creating the instance you are able to get InvisibleAPI using:
        InvisibleAPI invisibleAPI = InvisibleAPI.getInstance();
    }

}

Below are examples of how to operate on the API:

InvisibleAPI invisibleAPI = InvisibleAPI.getInstance();
Player player = ...;
List<Player> targets = ...;

// Setting invisibility (player will be invisible for targets)
invisibleAPI.setInvisible(player, targets);

// Unsetting invisibility
invisibleAPI.unsetInvisible(player, targets);

// Checking if player is invisible
// Note - this method only checks visibility in the API, not actually whether the player can see someone or not
invisibleAPI.canSee(player, targets.get(0));

Example idea to use this API:

In my case, I used this API to set invisibility for player A only if player B gets too close to him on parkour.

I added glowing for players when they are invisible to add variety to the effect.
