Description:
Unknown Veil is an anonymity mod built around a single wearable item: the Unknown Veil Mask. While the mask is equipped, your overhead nametag and every server-wide message associated with you — chat, deaths, joins, kicks, and bans — is replaced by a rapidly scrambling 12-character grey alphanumeric identity. Other players see only cryptic, constantly shifting names in grey, while the surrounding message text appears in plain white. No one can trace those messages back to your real username.
| Content | Description |
|---|---|
| Veil Table | A craftable block used to forge the Unknown Veil Mask. |
| Unknown Veil Mask | A helmet-slot item that anonymizes your identity and opens the Veil UI on interaction. |
Place the Unknown Veil Mask in your helmet slot. From that moment on:
The grey identity scrambles every few ticks, so it constantly changes in appearance, making it impossible to track across messages.
With the mask equipped, right-click (interact) to open the Veil UI. It presents five modes:
| Mode | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Fake chat / command | Broadcasts a masked message as if it came from an anonymous player. Supports simulated /say, /msg, /join, and /ban announcements. |
| Fake death announcement | Sends a server-wide death message with fake victim and killer names. Use {killer} in your message text as a placeholder for the killer's grey identity. |
| Fake join message | Broadcasts a fake join notification. Use {player} as a placeholder for the joining player's grey identity. |
| Fake ban message | Sends a fake ban announcement. Use {player} or {banned} for the banned player and {operator} or {killer} for the operator's grey identity. |
| Change permanent fake username | Lets you save a fixed grey identity that persists across sessions. This permanent name is used for your nametag and all veil identities. |
Note: All fake messages automatically strip any Minecraft color codes you type, so formatting codes cannot leak your real identity.
Craft the Veil Table at a regular crafting table:
Place the Veil Table in your world. Interact with it while carrying the required mask ingredients in your inventory to receive the Unknown Veil Mask. The table consumes the ingredients automatically — no crafting grid needed. If your inventory is full when the mask is created, it will pop out on top of the table. Breaking the Veil Table drops it as an item so you can move it freely.
The grey alphanumeric identity shown in place of your name is 12 characters long and re-randomizes every 4 ticks (~0.2 seconds). This means no two messages ever appear to come from the "same" person unless a permanent fake username is set.
Use the Change permanent fake username option in the Veil UI to enter a name you want to keep. That name:
When filling out individual fields inside the Fake death, Fake join, or Fake ban forms, you can manually enter a custom username for that single message. This overrides the permanent fake username just for that one announcement, giving you fine-grained control over what name appears in each fake event.
