EnableSpectator Console Command
EnableSpectator Command
This command will enable spectator mode for your character. It is recommended that you leave all your inventory in a safe place before using this command, as usage of the command will destroy your inventory.
In-Depth Description
The EnableSpectator command switches your gameplay mode to Spectator mode.
This provides you with a free-roaming, flying camera perspective of your game world - allowing you to explore and move around the map without any physical interaction or interference with the gameplay.
When in Spectator mode, players have no physical form and cannot interact with the environment, other players, or creatures. They can pass through terrain and objects, fly quickly across the map, and even adjust the speed of their movement.
This command can be incredibly useful in several scenarios. For example, administrators of multiplayer servers can use this command to oversee player activities, monitor player behavior, or investigate reports of game rule violations.
It can also be used for scouting locations for building without the risk of attracting enemy creatures.
