Spectator Switch (SMS) Datapack

A lightweight and multiplayer-safe datapack that lets players freely switch between Survival and Spectator mode using simple trigger commands—no OP required.

Features

  • /trigger sms_on → switch to Spectator mode
  • /trigger sms_off → return to Survival mode
  • Automatically saves your exact position before switching
  • Teleports you back to your original location when returning
  • Fully multiplayer-safe (no player conflicts) (might be buggy)
  • Works on servers and singleplayer worlds
  • No mods required

How it works

Each player is assigned a unique internal ID so their saved location and teleport marker are completely isolated from other players, ensuring smooth and reliable switching even in large multiplayer worlds.
