Java /Spec <User>

[millsmolls]

This is a suggestion for all games in general. Sometimes you die on a game, for instance: Skywars. You want to spectate someone specifically but you cannot find them.

With /spec <user> it could make you teleport to the person, for an example:

Me: -Dies-
Player1: Spec me!
Me: -types- /Spec Player1

Thanks for considering my suggestion!

When you want to spectate someone, you can type one number, and you will spectate, I don't know if you understand me xD

Let me clarify.
When you press one, a bar will show up, with a bunch of minecraft faces. If you try to "hold" or hover over a hotbar, like you would to use an item, their username should appear. Once you find the username you want to spectate, you should press 1 again, and you'll teleport to that player.

For the suggestion itself: I honestly don't see a reason to not add this, the spectator thingy is honestly a bit difficult to understand at first glance, so having a command would definitely help.

I am aware that this already exists, I know a lot of people who don't know a lot about it. Typing a command would be much easier and straight forward.

You can do that with mouse.

Many say that we already have a feature like that but, why don't we just add more features? it is a command that facilitates the game. Many of us would like to have more options so we can choose what to use.
For examnple, i would like to have the /playagain command, the server says that it exists but actually, at least for me, it doesn't work.
I would like too something like /play [gamemode], simple things that would make the server a better place.

I agree, I really don't like the current spec system.

Nice new idea. I like both old and yours systems.

I don't see it completely necessary, but it is just one more command and I think I won't be complicated to add it

/spec <name> is a way easier command if you already know the player you want to spectate. In bigger games that have a lot of players alive especially, going through each face by clicking on them to find what you’re looking for is not fun at all (especially if skins are not displaying, so all you’re seeing is an Alex or a Steve face). /spec could be an easier solution to spectating friends, or even people cheating for what matters. Once you try this command, you’ll never go back to the hotbar, you can have my word.

I actually really like this idea, I know that there some players out there that enjoy watching pro playes/teams fight, this would be really entertaining for them to watch.
Also make it a setting where people can turn off being spectated, and maybe add a command that lets you see who is spectating you

Just press your scroll button and voila... it's not that hard though.

A better suggestion would be for example your friends are in a game and they invite you to a party and you are stuck in the main lobby and want to watch them play to pass the time of waiting. This /spec command would be much preferred then and if you want to purposely die in a game of eggwars at the beginning of the march to spectate for whatever reason.

Honestly I don't see the point. It'll take up dev time that could be spent on better things, like fixing bugs. As previously mentioned, there is also a system already made with this. If it was to be put on the list of features to add then it should just be put as a very low priority.
