Bedrock Suggestion- player teleport compass for spectators

[TheBU]

Suggestion to Add a teleporter so we can teleport to players in spectator mode instead of flying across the map to get to them.

Hi, I think it's a problem on Bedrock only, because on Java you've vanilla spectator gui.
However, it's still a good suggestion, because vanilla gui is not perfect at all, and Bedrock doesn't have that feature anyway.

I agree. This would be super useful for larger maps so spectators do not have to fly all the way across.

Hey TheBU sup

Honestly, I don't really like this idea
Spectator mode is already a bit unfair as it's so making it even easier to track players isn't the best move cuz some people love camping or setting up clever traps and spectators constantly flying around or teleporting just ruins their strategies and everyone gets a tracker compass at the end of the game anyway.
Adding this would just hurt the fairness of the match for a lot of players.

Best regards..

To me spectator mode feels like legal cheating
Especially if you're in party with ur friends and talking on Discord or something similar.

This argument falls apart under scrutiny.


Spectators can already fly anywhere on the map. Teleporting doesn’t magically give them new information, it just saves them from wasting time flying across the entire map every time they want to watch someone else.


The whole “campers and traps” point doesn’t make much sense either. If someone wants to spectate a camper, they can literally already do that. A teleport command doesn’t suddenly expose players who were impossible to find before.


Also, not every spectator is in a party feeding info to their friends. A lot of people are just watching because they died or because they enjoy spectating. You’re acting like every spectator is ghosting when that’s just not true. Not every spectator is even trying to find players in the first place, so the whole “tracking people” argument doesn’t really apply to most spectators anyway.


And bringing up the tracker compass at the end of the game doesn’t really have anything to do with this suggestion. That’s an entirely different mechanic.


This isn’t a fairness issue. It’s just a QOL feature that cuts out unnecessary flying. If your argument is that teleporting is unfair, then spectator mode itself would have to be unfair too, because the exact same information is already available, you just reach it faster.

You actually proved my point right there!
To me spectator mode as it is right now is already unfair and feels like legal cheating especially when people are in a party on Discord.
I'm not saying everyone is a cheater but look at it this way player who isn't great at PvP might spend time building really cool trap and If someone falls into it there's a huge 90% chance they’ll just warn their teammates and like I mentioned everyone gets a tracker compass at the end of the game anyway so why make tracking people even faster like TP?

Instead of adding features to make broken system faster, Spectator mode itself needs a redesign It would be much better if you could only spectate ur own teammates and during PvP fight you can only see the enemy they are fighting.
That’s how to keep the game fair for everyone and that just my personal opinion anyway Ty for reading it.
