Spectating

Watch live duels without interfering. Requires duels.spectate (granted to everyone by default).

How to spectate

/duel spectate              # open the live-match browser
/duel spectate <player>     # spectate that player's match directly
/duels spectate [player]    # same, under the admin command

Click a head in the browser to jump in. Run the command again (no args) to stop. Fighters see X is now spectating the match! and X stopped spectating. — unless you have duels.spectate.anonymously, which hides both messages.

What spectators experience

• Teleported above the target; adventure mode + flight (or vanilla spectator mode with use-spectator-gamemode), invisibility effect unless disabled, non-colliding.
• Most commands blocked (allowlist: spectate.whitelisted-commands); teleports and interaction cancelled; can't damage or be damaged; can't pick up items.
• Leaving the arena area teleports you back (wall limit, see below).
• When the match ends you're notified and returned to your pre-spectate state.
