Solved NMS Hide "fake" Player Entity from tab and other plugins

Hello, I am trying to create a simple, much more lightweight version of the citizens plugin, which just allows you to create a simple non-moving player with a skin.
Currently, I have this:

Code:

public class Npc {

    public EntityPlayer entityPlayer;
    private GameProfile gameProfile;
    private Location location;

    public Npc(Location location, String name) {
        gameProfile = new GameProfile(UUID.fromString("00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"), "name");
        this.location = location;

        MinecraftServer minecraftServer = ((CraftServer) Bukkit.getServer()).getServer();
        WorldServer worldServer = ((CraftWorld) this.location.getWorld()).getHandle();
        this.entityPlayer = new EntityPlayer(minecraftServer, worldServer, this.gameProfile, new PlayerInteractManager(worldServer));

        this.entityPlayer.playerConnection = new PlayerConnection(minecraftServer, new NetworkManager(EnumProtocolDirection.CLIENTBOUND), this.entityPlayer);
        this.entityPlayer.setHealth(1f);
        worldServer.addEntity(this.entityPlayer);
        this. entityPlayer.setLocation(this.location.getX(), this.location.getY(), this.location.getZ(), this.location.getYaw(), this.location.getPitch());
    }

    public void spawnForPlayer(Player player) {
        ((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle().playerConnection.sendPacket(new PacketPlayOutPlayerInfo(PacketPlayOutPlayerInfo.EnumPlayerInfoAction.ADD_PLAYER, this.entityPlayer));
        ((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle().playerConnection.sendPacket(new PacketPlayOutNamedEntitySpawn(entityPlayer));
    }

}

Which works 100% as intended. However, when opening tab, and when using things like Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers, my fake NPC player will still show up there. How can I make sure that the NPC isn't counted as a real player?
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Also, I am using minecraft 1.15.

 

MinecraftServer#getPlayerList() contains players, a mutable CopyOnWriteArrayList of EntityPlayers. Bukkit#getOnlinePlayers() is a concurrently-updated copy of MinecraftServer's player list, so modifying the NMS copy should also stop it from appearing in getOnlinePlayers().

Basically:

PHP:

        EntityPlayer entityPlayer = ...;
        ((CraftServer) Bukkit.getServer()).getServer().getPlayerList().players.remove(entityPlayer);
  
        // or, for better consistency
        ((CraftServer) Bukkit.getServer()).getServer().getPlayerList().players.removeIf(e -> e.getUniqueID().equals(entityPlayer.getUniqueID()));


Got my information from Minecraft 1.14.4. Shouldn't be different in 1.15.

Disclaimer: I didn't test I'm merely tracking references kept in the Minecraft server

 

Thanks! That hid it from Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers, but not from tab...
But since the server I am working on is going to be using a custom tab list, and from what I can tell, that tab list uses Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers and such, this is perfect.
Thanks!
