Spectator Mode

Spectator mode keeps eliminated players engaged without affecting the match. Players can watch alive players, teleport through a menu, and tune their own spectator view.


Players can become spectators when:

  • They are eliminated during the in-game phase.
  • They join an arena after the match has already started.
  • The game logic moves them out of the active survivor list.

Spectators are separated from active players and cannot win the current match.


The teleporter menu is configured in:

menu/spectator-teleporter-menu.yml

It shows alive players as player heads. Clicking a player teleports the spectator to that player’s location.

The menu supports pagination through previous and next page buttons.


The settings menu is configured in:

menu/spectator-settings-menu.yml

It includes:

SettingDescription
Night VisionEnables or disables night vision for the spectator.
SpectatorsShows or hides other spectators.
SpeedCycles spectator movement speed.

Spectator preferences are available through PlaceholderAPI:

%tntrun_spectator_speed%
%tntrun_spectator_night_vision_level%
%tntrun_spectator_show_others%

These are useful for custom menus or external scoreboards.
