/spectate
Causes a player in spectator mode to spectate (follow the viewpoint of) another entity. Running without arguments stops spectating.
Syntax
/spectate [<target>] [<player>]Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| target | entity | Optional | The entity to spectate. Must be a single entity. |
| player | entity | Optional | The spectating player. Must be in spectator mode. Defaults to self. |
Examples
/spectate @pStart spectating the nearest player (you must be in spectator mode).
/spectateStop spectating and return to free-camera spectator mode.
/spectate @e[type=bee,limit=1,sort=nearest]Spectate the nearest bee entity.
Common Mistakes
- Trying to use /spectate while not in spectator mode, the executing player must be in spectator mode.
- Targeting more than one entity, the target must resolve to exactly one entity.
Notes
The spectating player sees through the target entity's viewpoint. Press Shift (Sneak) in-game to stop spectating. The command form without arguments also stops spectating.
