I would like a mod that allows whoever is in the server GUI to be able to spectate any player, any implementation works really

stiff kiln
#

Do you mean the multiplayer screen where you pick a server to join, or the console where you see the server logs? Why can't you just join the server in spectator?

Console

#

@stiff kiln

#

Because I want people to figure out a way to get SERVER to be an entity or smth

that doesnt answer the first question, though

#

spectating requires a client view, rendering, etc. a server has none of that. so the question of what you expect that it would do is important because it sounds like you are asking someone to re-implement all the clientside only code into the server jar as a mod

lilac cargo
#

well, I would think they're asking for something like this:

would be easier to add a "dedicated server" mode to the client tbh

lilac cargo
#

but I would say, I think it's reasonably possible to make a client envi- ok well that's what I was just going to say too, lol

#

I'd be careful with that, I'm pretty sure the server jars are free. It could easily end up being piracy.

#

which is why it makes more sense to add "host server" as a client mod allowing spectation any time. basically an enhanced open to lan

dreamy lava
#

Fair enough

#

I just thought it might be possible to have the server gui to be able to spectate a player without being able to be a player itself

#

Like so it can't go into creative or survival or something

One thing which makes this non-trivial, is that the server console is a basic swing ui, which minecraft is built using lwjgl. You'd need to get minecraft to render nicely to the ui (which probably isn't too hard) and pass trough mouse and keyboard inputs (harder). It's probably easiest if you just make it so that a client can maybe join in a special way to spectate

#

or just use a spectator account that never plays the game

dreamy lava
#

Fair

Use an offline account to log into the server for a brief second, teleport to the player, and take a screenshot

#

Then display it in the server log

#

Might be weird

thats rather rude. someone has an idea to try to help, please dont rudely dismiss them regardless of your personal relationship with them. thats a good way to get your requests ignored completely

dreamy lava
#

No like, I know that guy, we're friends and he's just saying that for the meme

#

@main sedge don't assume that everyone thinks the way you do

#

That's a good way to make an ass out of yourself

main sedge
#

i am not assuming that, i am saying that your personal relationship has nothing to do with your public outward treatment of other members of the server in a public collaborative space

dreamy lava
#

Makes them jealous of being able to joke around with people

dreamy lava
#

Genuinely curious

#

I guess it does come off as me being rude, but I was just joking

#

Hello? @main sedge

main sedge
#

best to keep the jokes to private or general spaces rather than collaborative ones, really. no, adding "lol" doesnt change the statement. imagine someone walking up to a conversation about how something can be engineered and one of the people just said "go away" and laughed at them,... not great

dreamy lava
#

Okay dude

#

Just don't freak out next time

lilac cargo
dreamy lava

Fair

# dreamy lava This is what no friends does to a mf

and please don't respond with insults (twice?)... something something ad hominem. Like, Linguardium is right. For the record, it'd be your "no friends" comment that has me lost on wanting to help any further. I usually avoid someone that'd say something like that so haphazardly. sorry. And before you try it, I wouldn't buy it being "just a joke".
