How to Install Vanish Plugin on Your Rust Server

Important!

Your server must have Oxide installed before adding plugins.

If you don’t have Oxide installed yet, check our guide on How to Install Oxide on Your Rust Server.

If you don’t know how to install plugins, check our guide on How to Install Oxide Plugins on Your Rust Server.

Commands only works for users with Admin privileges – see How to Set Administrators on Your Rust Server.

Permissions requires a SteamID64; use the guide How to Find a User’s SteamID to get the correct ID.

The Vanish plugin allows players with the correct permissions to turn completely invisible. While invisible, players, NPCs, turrets, helicopters, and other entities won’t detect you.

You’ll still be able to hear others, but they cannot hear or see you, even if they walk directly through your character.

The only exception is when you perform noticeable actions (for example, shooting a weapon, where the bullet impact can still be heard).

1. Download the Plugin

Download the “Vanish” plugin from the Umod official website.
