Setting up ZelVanish is very easy and straightforward.

1. Before you start

• Purchase the plugin from an approved marketplace (approved marketplaces: BuiltByBit, PixelEast).
• Download ZelVanish and join the support Discord server if you need help.
• Your server must run Paper 1.19+. Folia is supported.

2. Drop it in and go

• Place ZelVanish.jar into the server's plugins/ folder.
• Start (or restart) the server.
• On first boot, ZelVanish writes plugins/ZelVanish/settings.yml and plugins/ZelVanish/messages.yml with safe defaults.
• That's it — /vanish is ready to use.

ZelVanish has no runtime dependencies. All optional integrations (Essentials, PlaceholderAPI, DiscordSRV, Dynmap, squaremap, LibsDisguises, PlayerParticles) are detected automatically if they're installed.
