Developers
Add the modrinth maven repository to your build.gradle.
repositories {
// There might be other repos there too, just add it at the end
maven { url "https://api.modrinth.com/maven" }
}
Declare vanish as an optional dependency!
dependencies {
// You will have other dependencies here too
modCompileOnly "maven.modrinth:vanish:[VERSION]"
}
Before using the API you need to make sure the mod is actually loaded, by checking FabricLoader.getInstance().isModLoaded("melius-vanish");. If the mod is present you can use VanishAPI and VanishEvents to integrate your own mods.
Datapacks
Datapacks can use an entity predicate like vanish:visible to check if an entity is vanished. You should add this predicate to your datapack and use it to check whether a player can be seen by other players (in respect to vanish). It is designed to return true when the vanish mod is not installed to stay compatible with vanilla.
