Spectate
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!
Brilliant! Simply Brilliant!
Thanks! :-)

1.7 is 404ing me even though the Subscription thingy emailed me.
1.2.4 update
@xXgh00stXx
Once I release 1.7.
can you please update the source code on githube?
@bearbear12345 Well he added /specoff which is way easier to type :D
@deleted_7554077
What I Meant was like if you use /spectate Notch it would spectate Notch THEN if you wanted to stop spectating someone you would only have to do /spectate, not /spectateoff
While spectating and the player being spectated on leaves the server I receive their items and next time they join the server again all their items are gone. I believe this is some sort of a bug where it gives me all of their items.

I'm aware of this bug, but I'm not sure how to fix it...
Great Plugin.. Only one issue so far. CB 1.2.3-R0.2 Spectate 1.6
When I spectate someone that is trying to fire arrows from a bow. Their arrows seem to hit me and bounce right back... So they can tell I'm spectating them.
I don't think its a conflict with another plugin.. But I can't be sure.
I love this plugin :D Nice... it is easy to cought Xrayers and Griefers, when they are doing it ... But i have one bug. When player, who i am spectating teleport to other world... after some seconds it shows one more player.. I see player who i am spectating, but player see me... That player is like lag.. cannot move him or hit...
@Digitallink2008 It's an awesome plugin. More better then VanishNoPacket in some cases but it still has its bugs :D
@Chipmunk9998 You can always visit my server and try it there to see it in action (the bug I mean)
PM me if you want the IP or my skype :D
@deleted_7554077
I'll try testing it and see what's going on...
@deleted_7554077
Ha! Sup KJanar. Am looking into adding this plugin. I don't use MV. What do you think? You like it?
@Chipmunk9998 Have you confirmed our bug discovery?
Prolbme description is in the comments.
Can you maybe open the ticket section?
Thanks
@drdeft
When you put "Enable Permissions?" set to false in the config, it gives everyone the command. I was going to remove this option for 1.7 because this plugin was originally intended to be in the fun category, but now it's mostly used as an admin tool.
@deleted_7554077
I'm noticing the same issue. Spectating to different worlds and someone disconnects will leave you with the wrong inventories. Its slightly annoying + players could get items out of creative that way.
Using Multiverse- Inventories.
EDIT: it seems it is not doing a proper specoff when the target disconnects...
I don't know why but everybody can spectate everybody!!!! With no permissions in configs. And it's impossible to stop this. I thought that only moderators can use spectate, but today I tried it without permissions and was shoked. 1.1 R5 tryied spectate v1.5.2 and 1.6 Permissons plugin is PEX (PermissonsEx) 1.19.1
These will have no effect if you have "Enable Permissions?" set to false in the config. aaaaaaaaa sorry)))))))))))
@judam
I will add a fix for this in 1.7.
