Liek ohmygawd. Theres more ways to grief! Ugh the only reason Griefing is around is because people play this game. Don't like it? then either play singleplayer or I dont know talk to server mods?
Maybe the player could become visible for a short while when performing an action or receiving damage? A footprint effect could trail behind invisible players, but you wouldn't know if they are friend or foe unless you decided to attack (keeping things interesting for PVP.)
Edit: Attempting to hit an invisible player with PVP off should also reveal the player.

I think it SHOULD make one completely invisible, but ONLY when you're standing/crouching without moving or placing/destroying blocks. Otherwise, .4-ish transparency.
So you can sneak around without being noticed, but you're still visible in combat/performing nefarious deads

I tried playing real life. The graphics were alright, the gameplay was .
Today I was looking through the code of Potion.java in the 1.9pre5 version, and I found this:
public static final Potion potionInvisibility = (new Potion(14, false,0x7f8392)).setPotionName("potion.invisibility").func_40618_a(0, 1).func_40616_h();
Basically, that is the code for an unfinished potion: An invisibility potion.
Upon seeing that, I immediately checked the wiki. Confirmed. I really hope this isn't going to be a 100% invisibility potion... there has to be some catch to it. I hope that players can still see you but mobs won't be able to, or you can't destroy blocks while invisible. If there is not any disadvantage to this potion, then damn. I can already see an invisible griefer griefing my house right before my eyes.
Not only that but I also found these potions on the wiki:
Fire Resistance - Makes the player resistant to fire and lava.
Water Breathing - Causes air meter to be constantly full while underwater.
I hope Notch realizes what he has done with those potions.
Wait... don't in multyplayer you SEE the tag above the player even IF your invisible to players wont they still see your tag? if not then how would you identify a greifer from a regular legit invisible person? if you couldn't see the tag above the person then i agree. But then again...think of the pvp arena battles.
You can ban certain items with plugins, right? If it gets to be a problem/you have a rash on your butt with the potion being used on your server, just ban the potion.
okay i understand your concern for the invisibility potion but
Fire resistance potions: would griefers really use these to protect themselves? what would you do that would make them so anxious to drink one before they enter your house? would you set them on fire? or just refrain from lava traps
Water-Breathing: unless you have an underwater house or have a giant pitfall water trap i dont think a griefer would use this
I don't see why anyone bothers with open servers (even if they -are- heavily moderated and watched constantly)..too stressful with the possibility of some jackass ruining everyone's hard work. Safer to work with people you actually trust on a server that isn't public.
Anti-grief plugin, make it so only certain people can use and edit certain spots. Derp.

Notch on his twitter: "bugs that feel wrong get fixed"
Do not get attached to your saves, seriously, stuff like this has happened before, if there's something you love and really want to build...Wait for release.
There's already two or three hacked clients floating out there which allow players to toggle themselves invisible. I doubt they would bother with a potion that lasts a couple mins when they can just hit a hotkey and stay invisible for days.
Hmm. Fire resistance. Fun. Invisibility? Stealth mode activated. Underwater breathing? Meh.
Combined?
Well, looks like somebody's gonna be a bit overpowered.

I've got a creeper and I'm not afraid to explode it!

Depends, I guess.
You could make it so invisibility only works until you attack, for example.

It'll be fine.

Solution: Don't host a PVP Server.
I just love this last line. Really kiddo? Notch knew what he was doing. he was adding more items, something else to craft, something else to achieve.
He's right.

Maybe so...but OP has a point, at least with the invisibility part, anyway
Come one, No matter what griefing with be possible. Infact, Pretty damn easy.
Remember: cannibalism is always an option.
