SpySpectator v2.0.1 Changelog

🔧 Improvements & Fixes

🌍 World Change Persistence

• Fixed an issue where spectators lost their items, flight, and visibility settings when teleporting between worlds (e.g., from Lobby to a Game Slot).
• Spectator state is now automatically re-applied with a slight delay after world changes to override other plugin logic.

🚫 Chunk Loading Prevention

• Spectators are now prevented from generating new chunks.
• Movement and teleportation into unloaded chunks are blocked to improve server performance.

✈️ Flight Stability

• Resolved conflicts with lobby protection plugins (SpyHunts) that were disabling spectator flight.

👁️ Enhanced Visibility

• Spectators can now instantly see players in active games (e.g., Manhunt matches) upon teleporting, bypassing strict game isolation rules.

🧭 Improved Compass Navigation

• The Spectator Compass now displays clean world aliases (e.g., "Manhunt Slot 1") instead of raw file paths.

SpySpectator v2.0.0 Changelog

SpySpectator v2.0.0 is a complete rewrite of the original spectator plugin, focusing on performance, robust state management, and enhanced user experience.

🌟 Key Features

👻 True Spectator Mode

• Vanish-Style Invisibility: Spectators are completely invisible to normal players but can see each other.
• Self-Visibility: Spectators can now see their own bodies, hands, and items (removed invisibility potion effect).
• Tablist Hiding: Spectators are hidden from the tablist for normal players.
• Mob Ignorance: Hostile mobs will completely ignore spectators (no targeting/aggro).
• Infinite Night Vision: Spectators have permanent night vision for better visibility.

💾 Persistence & State Management

• Inventory Saving: Player inventories are saved when entering spectator mode and restored upon leaving.
• Location Persistence: Players return to their exact previous location when leaving spectator mode.
• Reboot Safe: Spectator state and return locations are saved to disk (spectators.yml), persisting across server restarts.
• Join/Quit Handling: Spectators stay in spectator mode when reconnecting. Join/Quit messages are silenced.

🛠️ Tools & GUI

• Spectator Compass: Slot 4 contains a "Player Teleporter" compass. Right-click to open a GUI listing all online players for one-click teleportation.
• Leave Item: Slot 8 contains a "Leave Spectator Mode" bed item for quick exit.
• Admin Commands:
  • /spectator lobby set/remove: Set a specific lobby location for spectators to go to when leaving (optional).
  • /spectator: Toggle mode.

💬 Chat Isolation

• Spectator Chat: Messages sent by spectators are only visible to other spectators.
• Prefix: Spectator messages are prefixed with [Spec] for clarity.
• Monitoring: Spectators can still see normal player chat to monitor the server.

🛡️ Protections & Mechanics

• No Interactions: Spectators cannot break/place blocks, drop/pickup items, or interact with inventories/entities.
• Invulnerability: Spectators take no damage (void, drowning, attacks, etc.).
• Hunger & Air Lock: Hunger and oxygen levels are locked at maximum (no drowning bubbles).
• GameMode Switching: Switching GameMode (e.g., to Creative) automatically exits Spectator mode cleanly, preserving the new GameMode.

⚙️ Custom Preferences (New!)

• Chat Toggle: Toggle spectator chat visibility (Global or per-player).
• Visibility Toggle: Toggle visibility of other spectators (Global or per-player).
• Settings GUI: New item in hotbar opens a Settings GUI to manage these preferences easily.
• World Group Sync: Spectator chat and visibility are now synced based on world groups (only see/chat with spectators in the same world group).

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue where players were invisible to themselves.
• Fixed mobs occasionally tracking spectators.
• Fixed non-spectators sometimes not seeing others after mode changes.
• Fixed chat leaking to normal players.
• Fixed visibility issues where spectators could sometimes see hidden players.
