Technical Details

NoPhantom is built using standard Paper API event handling and does not use NMS, packet hacks, or unsafe methods. This keeps the plugin lightweight, stable, and compatible with typical Paper plugin stacks.

The plugin focuses solely on phantom behavior, making it easy to use, easy to maintain, and friendly for both small and large servers.
