What it does

Spectator mode can be toggled through a command or a bound key, giving a free camera that moves through the world without affecting the normal game mode. When spectator mode ends, the player returns to the position and game mode they had before it started. The mod is built to add a freecam-like experience using vanilla spectator mode, and it is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.10 – 26.3.

Servers need the mod installed, while clients may leave it out. The code is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only.

Key features

  1. Command and keypress toggle

    Spectator mode can be switched on or off either by a command or by a keybinding, whichever the player prefers.

  2. Return to original position

    Once spectator mode is disabled, the player is moved back to the original position and game mode.

  3. Freecam-style view

    Vanilla spectator mode is used to give a freecam-like experience that moves the camera freely through the world.
