    I'd really like to spectate my friends - it's infuriating to have to wait if I die early on. Also, sometimes it'd be neat to just follow people around invisibly if I'm looking to learn new play strategies or just don't feel like actually playing.

    I want this to be added, but it would be disadvantageous to solo players coz teamers will just tell their teammates who has what

    Maybe, just maybe, now that spectator mode is added in minecraft, you could spectate your friend from first-person! Packeted barrier blocks around and in the head for the spectator so that 3rd person won't work, since it's the only possible way to ghost!

    When you are in the hub, you can send a spectator-request to your friend, and when/if he to accepts it, you tp to the game, first person spectating your friend! It would be not possible to sneak and get out of the first-person view, and as stated above, you couldn't use 3rd person while spectating. Just my toughts! Let me know what you think :wink:

    This is probably the best way to make spectating fair. It might be a bit clunky to sit and view your friend from their own eyes, but it would be fair to other players. Of course it would be two players vs one seeing the same thing, but you both would see the same thing, so I think it would be fair.

    Maybe you could just make it so the spectator couldn't get too far away from their teammates? Often I just want to see if the person who killed me won the game.

    You could just force the person to have the same view as the player they are spectating, I know it's possible. Of course they could just F5 and view behind the player, and there would be two people seeing the same thing, but I think it'd be the closest thing to a fair spectating view.

    Also make it so you can only spectate one person per game.
