Bedrock Revert spectator mode

[Conea64]

Previously cubecraft had a custom spectator mode. Minecraft has now added it themselves and it blows.

Take this video for example:

I believed that this player was cheating, but due to the laggy inconsistent spectator mode I have no way of telling whether or not they were. Previously, you could permanently see players whilst you were in spectator mode but now, you might as well not have it.

It's impractical, inconsistent, prevents reports and prevents communication between alive and dead teammates.

TL;DR: Switch back to the old spectator mode that worked.

I'm pretty sure that's a bug, make sure to report it.

It's not a cc bug, it's a Minecraft bug. Minecraft added a spectator system which isn't good. CubeCraft already had a goof spectator system, but they switched to the worse version that Minecraft made

Ooof, then they should return to the previous version.

I forwarded this to a developer as usually this is caused by bugs & issues rather than Minecraft's native spectator mode simply being bad.

Turns out there were some major issues that have now been fixed! Will leave this thread unlocked so you can provide feedback on how it feels now.

Thank you for letting us know.

Sorry, there appears to be little improvement. However now when being in the range of ~10 blocks of them they become consistently visible unless you change the angle which you look at them, in which case they become invisible.

(Note how the guy disappears at the end)

Thanks for expressing interest!

Spectator mode has only improved by 50%

 

[IgnDog XI]

It’s still good

 

[Conea64]

It’s still good

You can't see players some of the time when you are in spectator, how is that good?

Spectator mode has been improved but still I think there's a bug when sometimes you can't go down for some reason unless you spam the ^ button ( bad explaining I know )
( am I the only one experiencing this bug? )

That's because it's not finished yet, it's still an experimental version so entities/players etc have a weird rendering sometimes
