Spectate

Table of Contents

What is spectate?

Spectate allows you to watch players from their point of view, simply by typing in /spectate (player). You will see exactly what they see, and they'll never know you were watching them.

You can also watch them from different angles. There's Third Person, Third Person Front (looking at their face), and Freeroam (you can walk freely around and watch them from any angle).

There's also "Scroll" mode and "Scan" mode. Scroll mode allows you to right and left click to change between players, and Scan mode will change the player you're spectating every few seconds (you can set how long until it switches to the next person).

There's also an API, which allows developers to take control of the entire plugin.

To see a full list of everything you can do with Spectate, head over to the Commands page.

Spectate has undergone a complete rewrite.

Please make sure your permissions are up to date, and please report any bugs on the tickets page.

Spectate 2.0 is here!

2.0 includes:

- A complete rewrite of the entire plugin from the ground up.
- Lots of bugs fixes!
- Spectate is now compatible with Multiverse Inventories.
- A fresh new API that lets developers control the ENTIRE plugin!

And some new features:

- A new spectate angle, Third Person Front mode! Now you can watch the player you're spectating while looking at their face. What more could you ask for?
- Another new spectate angle, Free Roam mode! Now you can walk around like a ghost while still viewing their inventory. Spooky!
- You can now see the gamemode and XP of the player you're spectating!
- If you were invisible before spectating, you will still be invisible when you stop spectating.

And many more features I forgot to write down!

So what are you waiting for? Download the plugin for the complete Spectating experience today!

Well if it didn't turn you invisible, you would see someone floating in front of you.

And he probably sees a steve head because of lag.

Awsome plugin, but with a couple of "bugs".

Sometimes when I spectate someone, they see a steve-head infront of them for a split second.

After turning spectate off, I often find myself a few blocks underground from where I was.

One time I was unable to see the player I had previously spectated, and had to turn spectate on and off, before I could see that player again.

(Also, I am invisible when spectating. Bug or feature?)

Anyway.. Still a nice plugin.. Thumbs up..

I'm having a problem when I try to spectate a player, they become surrounded with smoke. I think this is because of a teleport smoke plugin I use, and I really like that plugin a lot. It's simple but adds a great little touch to the server, if you can find a way to make spectate work with this other plugin I would be grateful.

Having a conflict with MultiVerse Inventories. I have two different inventory groups, one for survival worlds and one for creative. While in a survival world, I can specate someone in a creative world normally, but when using /spectateoff my inventory is set to MY creative world items, and all my survival world items are lost. After this happens, when I travel to a creative world I now have the creative world items of the person I was spectating earlier.

@SLiPCoR

Yea, it only happens when the person doing the spectating leaves while spectating someone. While we don't have a fix, we found some were using it to dupe materials. We instituted an instant ban for anyone caught doing that.

Working well so far :)

I am not. Spectating is working very well. With inventory restoration, during player leave, player kick and disconnect.

Well I just did not quit myself when spectating :)

Damage should be cancelled when spectating, imo ^^

FYI I was using this last night to live stream some combat on my server. When you spectate someone if they throw a splash potion it will hit the invis character. Any way to offset your location slightly to fix this?

If you use dynmap for your server and you are spectating a player they can see you stuck on them while looking at the dynmap, so they can tell that admin is watching them.

could you please try fix that, thanks for this great plugin no other problems works great!

Another thing I noticed.. Admins occasionally get what seems like a copy of the player's inventory after typing /specoff. The inventory does not go away after reconnecting.

(Sorry for the triple comment :P)

Also, is there any way to make the chunks load faster around you when you're spectating someone? One of my players is flying around and all I can see is the blue void :/
