Verify PremiumVanish network vanish across Velocity backends

Applies to: PremiumVanish; match the linked maintainer documentation to your installed platform and release.
Documentation checked .

A vanished state on one backend does not establish network-wide visibility. PremiumVanish’s documented network feature requires compatible proxy and backend components with the intended shared storage.

Follow the procedure

  1. Check the installed PremiumVanish release against the maintainer’s Velocity instructions. Confirm that the network-vanish command exists in that version rather than borrowing an older Bungee-only procedure.
  2. List the proxy and participating backends, their plugin versions and the shared MySQL connection they are meant to use. Keep credentials out of screenshots and public logs.
  3. Use read-only connection and startup logs to establish that each component reaches the intended database. Do not point unrelated servers at a shared schema merely to test visibility.
  4. Give a test moderator the documented pv.networkvanish permission and use the release’s /networkvanish command. Keep ordinary observers on two participating backends.
  5. Move the moderator through the public proxy between those backends. Check entity visibility, tab entries and join or switch messages from both observer accounts.
  6. Reappear through the supported network control and repeat the movement. Confirm normal visibility returns across the same backend set before staff rely on the feature.

Check the result

The hidden state should follow the moderator across every backend included in the supported configuration. Record the tested proxy version and backend versions. A successful command on the proxy does not prove an omitted or disconnected backend received the state.

If the result is wrong

If one backend leaks the moderator, inspect that component’s version, shared storage and startup errors before changing permission levels. Avoid disabling backend connection protection to simplify testing. Restore the previous visibility state and use local vanish only within the verified scope until integration is corrected.
