Minecraft invisibility command

Updated: 30 October 2026

Basic command

The final true hides the particles. Without it, the swirling particles still give away your position.

Make it last forever (Java 1.19.4+)

/effect give @s minecraft:invisibility infinite 0 true

On older versions use a large number of seconds such as 1000000.

Remove it

Drinking milk also removes every effect.

Hide armor and held items too

• Take off armor: armor and the items in your hands stay visible while invisible.
• Spectator mode: /gamemode spectator hides you from other players and lets you pass through walls, which suits scouting and filming.

Let teammates see you (Java)

/team add red
/team join red @a[tag=red]
/team modify red seeFriendlyInvisibles true

Teammates then see each other as semi-transparent. See the team command guide.

Invisible mobs and armor stands

Mobs take the same effect: /effect give @e[type=minecraft:zombie,distance=..10] minecraft:invisibility 60 0 true. For Java armor stands, use data instead of an effect so only the equipment shows:

/summon minecraft:armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {Invisible:1b,NoGravity:1b}

Invisible item frames (Java 1.20.5+)

/give @p minecraft:item_frame[entity_data={id:"minecraft:item_frame",Invisible:1b}] 16
/give @p minecraft:glow_item_frame[entity_data={id:"minecraft:glow_item_frame",Invisible:1b}] 16

Frames placed from these items have no visible border, so the item inside looks like it floats on the wall. Effects do not work on item frames because they are not mobs. On 1.20.4 and earlier use item_frame{EntityTag:{Invisible:1b}}.

Things to know

• Mobs still notice invisible players at close range.
• Footsteps and attack sounds can still be heard.
• Your own screen still shows your hand; switch to third person (F5 on Java) to check.
• Name tags can be hidden with /team modify <team> nametagVisibility never (Java).
