About SMP Spectator Mode - 1.19 Support
From SpigotMCEnables players to use spectator mode but not allow them to teleport, despawn mobs, and more!
This plugin is no longer in development. There are still bugs, but it should work relatively well on 1.18 servers. Anyone is welcome to fork the repo on GitHub and make a reborn version
The SMP Spectator Mode plugin enables users to use all the benefits of spectator mode from getting a cinematic shot of the new build to checking on the mob farm. Unlike vanilla spectator mode, SMP Spectator:
- teleports you back to the location you switched from survival to spectator to prevent using the ability to teleport to another player.
- preserves all the potion effects (including wither effect) and the
- preserves number of air bubbles during the game mode switch.
- gives players the night vision effect is given while in spectator mode.
- allows admins to prevent players from going below a certain y-level
- allows admins to prevent players from moving through blocks
- allows admins to blacklist worlds it can be done in
- allows admins to prevent teleport with the spectator hotbar
- and much more
Usage:
[/s enable] to enable the plugin
[/s disable] to disable the plugin
[/s reload] to reload the config file
[/s effect] to toggle the night vision and conduit effect in spectator mode
