Using numerical simulations of magnetically interacting vortices in disordered layered superconductors we obtain the static vortex phase diagram as a function of magnetic field and temperature. For increasing field or temperature, we find a transition from ordered straight vortices to disordered decoupled vortices. This transition is associated with a peak effect in the critical current as well as plastic flow of the vortices. For samples with increasing disorder strength the field at which the decoupling occurs decreases. Long range interactions in the c-axis are required to observe the effect.
