Invisible Touch

Become invisible in BONELAB LabFusion multiplayer while remaining fully physical. For players who have this mod installed, your avatar, body, nametag and head UI disappear — but your networked player still occupies space and can collide and interact normally.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Everyone you play with must also install Invisible Touch. Installing it only on the invisible player's PC is not enough. If another player does not have this mod, they will still see you normally.

Important: who needs to install it?

Invisible Touch must be installed by the invisible player and by every other player who should not see them. Ask the players in your lobby to install the same version before playing.

Everyone also needs LabFusion to be in the same multiplayer lobby. A player who has LabFusion but does not have Invisible Touch will see you normally, even while your invisibility is enabled.

For consistent behavior, everyone should use the same version of this mod.

Features

• Multiplayer invisibility synchronized through LabFusion.
• Fully physical invisible players: real position, pose updates, colliders, physics and interactions remain active on modded clients.
• Visual hiding for carried items: Off, Held Only, or Held + Holsters.
• Self View modes: Full Body, Hands Only, or Hidden.
• Toggle from BoneMenu or by clicking the left or right thumbstick.
• Configurable toggle cooldown, set to 5 seconds by default.
• Controller haptic feedback: one pulse = invisibility ON, two pulses = OFF by default.
• Works when enabled before joining or hosting a server.
• Invisibility state is maintained across avatar changes, respawns and level loads.
• Late joiners with the mod receive the current invisibility state.
• English BoneMenu.

Requirements

• BONELAB Patch 6 on PCVR
• MelonLoader 0.6.6 or a compatible newer version
• BoneLib 3.2.2
• LabFusion 1.14.2

The Thunderstore package declares these dependencies so a mod manager can install them automatically.

Quest standalone is not supported or tested.

Installation

Thunderstore App / r2modman

Install the package normally. The required dependencies are listed in the manifest.

Manual installation

1. Install MelonLoader, BoneLib and LabFusion.
2. Place InvisibleTouch.dll from the package's Mods folder into your BONELAB Mods folder.
3. Do not keep another copy of the mod under a different filename.
4. Launch the game.

Controls and settings

Open BoneMenu → Invisible Touch.

The main page contains:

Control	Description
Invisible	Turns invisibility on or off.
Toggle Invisibility	One-button BoneMenu toggle.
Settings	Opens the settings page.

Mode settings show their current value and cycle to the next value when clicked.

Setting	Description
Self View	What you see of your own body while invisible: Full Body, Hands Only, or Hidden.
Items	Off, Held Only, or Held + Holsters. Held + Holsters is the default and includes body-slot weapons and loaded magazines.
Toggle Stick	Left thumbstick click (L3, default), right thumbstick click (R3), or Disabled. This responds to clicking the stick, not tilting it.
Cooldown (seconds)	Delay between successful toggles, from 0 to 60 seconds. The default is 5 seconds.
Haptics	Enables or disables toggle haptic feedback.
Haptic Pattern	Default is 1 pulse for ON and 2 pulses for OFF. Other patterns are available.
Haptic Hand	Auto, Left, Right, or Both. In Auto, a stick toggle vibrates that stick's controller; a BoneMenu toggle vibrates both controllers.
Haptic Strength	Haptic amplitude multiplier from 0.25 to 2.00. The default is 1.00.

Settings are saved in UserData/MelonPreferences.cfg under the InvisibleTouch category. Invisibility itself always starts disabled when the game launches.

How it works

Invisible Touch publishes your invisibility state and item-hiding mode through LabFusion player metadata. Your client still sends your real avatar and real pose.

On another player's client with this mod installed, only your rig/avatar renderers and head UI are hidden. The mod does not use Fusion's full rig-culling path for this effect, so your networked player's pose updates, colliders, physics and grabber remain active.

Carried items also remain in their real networked positions. When item hiding is enabled, a modded observer's client hides only those items' renderers; their rigidbodies, colliders and grips remain physical. An item becomes visible again after it is released or thrown.

A player without Invisible Touch ignores the custom metadata and sees the normal LabFusion player representation.

Self View

Self View only changes how you see your own body while invisible:

• Full Body — you still see your complete body.
• Hands Only — only your hands remain visible. Combined avatar body meshes use a local clone filtered to hand- and finger-weighted triangles.
• Hidden — your local body renderers are hidden from yourself as well.

Known limitations

• Observers must install this mod. Without it, they will see you normally.
• Visually hidden carried items remain physical, so their invisible colliders and grips are still where the item is being held or stored.
• Voice chat is not separately processed by this mod; do not rely on it for complete audio stealth.
• Hands Only depends on the avatar's hand bones and skinning weights. Unusual avatars may fall back to hiding the whole local body.
• Other Fusion systems and gamemodes can hide player rigs for their own reasons. This mod does not override a rig hidden by another system.

Please use this mod in lobbies where the other players are okay with it.

Troubleshooting

Another player can still see me

• Make sure that player has InvisibleTouch.dll installed.
• Make sure everyone is using the same version of Invisible Touch and compatible versions of LabFusion, BoneLib and MelonLoader.
• If they can see only an item, check Items in your settings and make sure it is not set to Off.

The BoneMenu page does not appear

• Make sure MelonLoader, BoneLib and LabFusion are installed correctly.
• Check MelonLoader/Latest.log for errors containing Invisible Touch or InvisibleTouch.

The thumbstick does not toggle invisibility

• Check Toggle Stick in BoneMenu; it may be set to the other stick or to Disabled.
• Wait for the configured cooldown to finish. The default cooldown is 5 seconds.
• The setting responds to clicking the stick, not tilting it.
