I would like to vanish and be able to auto-follow a suspicious player as he moves around. After I issue the command, I can sit back and watch as my player moves to match another player's movement.

Commands:
/vanish follow
/vanish unfollow

We would need a permission:
- vanish.follow

And config.yml settings:
# if true, then if no player is specified, then follow the nearest player
# if false, then a player must be specified on the command line
follow-nearest-player: true

# default following distance if not specified
follow-distance: 10

# as long as our distance to the followed player is +/- the threshold, just stand still to prevent excessive relocation
follow-threshold: 3

# if follower specifies a distance smaller than this minimum, use this instead
minimum-follow-distance 3

# if true, then rotate the follower to face the followed player (adjust the facing direction every couple of seconds to face the followed player as he moves to the side)
always-face-followed-player: true

# announce following to others who have the follow permission
announce-to-other-followers: true

Note:
- set x,y,z to a safe place so you don't end up in a tree or a hill
- confirmation announcement says " is now following "
- confirmation announcement says " is no longer following "

I'd be happy to be an alpha tester of this for you.
