What Makes This Special

This addon's brilliance lies in solving Bedrock Edition's long-standing limitation of lacking proper hardcore and spectator modes. Unlike makeshift solutions using commands or barriers, this provides genuine spectator functionality with free camera movement, entity following, and chunk visualization. The seamless transition from survival to spectator upon death maintains world integrity while allowing players to remain engaged with their creation. For content creators, this enables dramatic hardcore series where death doesn't end the video but transforms the experience. The Realm compatibility is particularly noteworthy, as it requires specific setup steps that the addon handles elegantly.

Pro Tips

• Create backup worlds before starting hardcore for practice runs
• In multiplayer, dead players can scout for resources in spectator mode
• Use spectator mode to create cinematic recordings of active players
• Set up death monuments at player death locations while in spectator
