Hey guys,
Mojang recently added a new gamemode to Minecraft that will be added in the 1.8 update when it will be out :)

Here is the description found on Minecraft Wiki:

Spectator Game Mode
  • Usage: /gamemode spectator, /gamemode sp or /gamemode 3
  • Designed for situations where it is unwanted that a player would interact with the world
    • Player can move through any entity or block without interfering with it (commonly referred to as 'noclip')
    • Cannot use items, place blocks, destroy blocks or interact with blocks in any way
    • Can view inventories/etc, but not modify them
    • Cannot be seen by anybody but other spectators
    • Does not affect mob spawning, and is not noticed by mobs
  • A left-click on a mob or player will take its camera
    • Clicking on a creeper or charged creeper will apply the creeper.json shader
    • Endermen vision is inverted
    • Spider (and cave-spider) vision is segmented
    • Pressing ⇧ Shift will return the player to free-flying mode
  • Player is always flying, standing is not possible
    • Cannot take damage, including fall damage
    • Scroll wheel increases/decreases flying speed
  • Invisible players and mobs are visible, but translucent
  • Not 100% finished

That would be pretty awesome to add to the mcsg servers, instead of plugins; this gamemode! You could spectate a player from his point of view, it is also easier to detect hackers. On certain servers, the arrow blocking would not work if the plugin is replaced by the gamemode. Arrows would go simply through them. That would be awesome.

I hope it will be added to the MCSG servers :D
If you have any more comments, write below! Thanks for reading

Nice, I don't like the ability to see in other people inventories but other than that it looks pretty cool.

Again, it won't be added because it'll basically replicate the spectator system we have now, making it useless. Also, the spectator system allows spectators to view inventories. A BIG No-No for any solo player facing a Skype/TS team. Also, devs would have to recode the plugin to make it so clicking will teleport you and other miscellaneous.

All in all, not a good suggestion.

I don't know for them, but as a Java coder, it is logical you can re-use code that they already have.
When the Bukkit/Spigot 1.8 happens, they might as well use an event and cancel it when a player opens someone's inventory.

What I actually like the most is that you can detect hackers more easily because you can see their client eye (even tho you cannot see the GUI they have, you can see if they have Forcefield, or even Regen Hacks.
