Hello. I own a vanilla minecraft server and lately we have been having a few instances where a / some player(s) have been using some sort of hack to make themselves completely invisible to the server (we cannot even see them in the tab list - we think) and somehow gives them complete gamemode c access. I even have reports where they have killed a few of my operators and players. It would say that they were "killed by magic" and everyone on the server would take damage at the same time. I do know that there are some potions that can be hacked in that damage operators.
With the full gamemode access, they can build, fly, and CTRL+Button 3 (middle click) signs, which only operators are programmed to have.
I do think I know how they are invisible. There is currently a glitch in 1.11.2 MC where if you get teleported, sometimes, not always, your player humanoid will be completely invisible. Not from tab, though. Someone (whoever built this hack) might have found a way to force this upon join. Another possibility is that they are "AFKing" somewhere, where they can still be seen, but somehow teleported somewhere else and able to destroy / place blocks at ease (they can even open chests).
I doubt this has anything to do with it, but my server is a Spigot 1.11 server running only one plugin which enables it so that it has completely Vanilla gameplay. We only use Spigot for performance boosts.
I am asking if anyone knows a way to catch the hacker. This would help me and a lot of other servers out a LOT. Thanks!

Im not sure there are hacks to do that but if there is then you need plugins. eg. anticheat
Command Panels, Fully Custom GUIs. You can make GUIs using Custom Software.
I sent you a somewhat detailed PM to try and help.
