With SpectatorPlus, you can gain insights into the spectated player&#8217;s held item,<br \/>\nhealth, hotbar contents, food level, and experience points. Additionally, it fixes a few longstanding Minecraft bugs<br \/>\nwith spectator mode.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/pF_Io5qtnRI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>## Features<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Show the held item and health of the spectated player<br \/>\n&#8211; Show the hotbar, health, food, and experience of the spectated player *(Server-side required)*<br \/>\n&#8211; Show the currently open screen of the spectated player, such as when opening a chest or crafting table *(Server-side required)*<br \/>\n  &#8211; If the spectated player has the client-side mod installed as well, it can also show when they open their inventory<br \/>\n  &#8211; Additionally, when pressing the normal inventory keybind, the spectated player&#8217;s inventory will be opened<br \/>\n  &#8211; Currently this feature is only supported on servers running Paper<br \/>\n&#8211; Allow continuing to spectate even when the player teleports far away or between worlds *(Server-side required)*<br \/>\n    &#8211; This is a fix for MC-107113<br \/>\n    &#8211; Even works for clients without the mod installed!<\/p>\n<p>In order for all of the mod&#8217;s features to be enabled, the mod needs to be installed on the server side as well.<br \/>\nThis is because Minecraft normally does not send some needed data to clients.

On Fabric,<br \/>\nSpectatorPlus uses fabric-permissions-api to check permissions.<\/p>\n<p>| Permission                      | Description                                                                                   |<br \/>\n|&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;|&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;|<br \/>\n| `spectatorplus.sync.experience` | Allows the player to receive the experience value of the spectated target                     |<br \/>\n| `spectatorplus.sync.food`       | Allows the player to receive the food value of the spectated target                           |<br \/>\n| `spectatorplus.sync.hotbar`     | Allows the player to receive the hotbar items and selected slot of the spectated target       |<br \/>\n| `spectatorplus.sync.inventory`  | Allows the player to receive the full inventory of the spectated target when a screen is open |<br \/>\n| `spectatorplus.sync.screen`     | Allows the player to receive the open screen of the spectated target (e.g. a chest)           |<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Fabric mod that improves spectator mode by showing the hotbar, health, and held item of the spectated player<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":146505,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"spectatorplus","_minecraft_project_id":"qnFMs6Ja","_minecraft_author":"hpfxd","_minecraft_license":"GPL-3.0-or-later","_minecraft_downloads":8791,"_minecraft_follows":70,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"spectatorplus.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":1533303,"_minecraft_version_count":10,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T02:08:57.122741Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2024-02-20T22:47:30.246024Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2025-01-08T01:23:33.603828Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/spectatorplus","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":146505,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-08T18:43:47+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"15c2cbf2e2dec798dcffbe661a4276dd","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[97,127,867,92],"mod_loader":[99,132],"minecraft_version":[59,36,60,93,94,101,102,62,73,74,38],"class_list":["post-146504","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-paper","mod_category-social","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-fabric","mod_loader-paper","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-20-2","minecraft_version-1-20-3","minecraft_version-1-20-4","minecraft_version-1-20-5","minecraft_version-1-20-6","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
