Monitor a Suspicious Player Without Being Detected
Start Spectating
When you suspect a player of cheating, you can watch them in real-time without them knowing. This lets you gather evidence before taking action.
1. Type /startspectating [player] in chat, replacing [player] with the username of the suspect
2. You will be teleported to follow them invisibly
3. Watch their movement, combat, and building patterns for unnatural behavior
4. Pay attention to:
- Impossible reach distances when hitting mobs or players
- Sudden direction changes that seem inhuman
- Flying or moving through solid blocks
- Breaking blocks at unrealistic speeds
Stop Spectating
When you've finished observing, type /stopspectating to return to your normal position and resume playing. You'll be placed back where you were before spectating began.
Use this tool to confirm suspicious chat alerts before making a final decision about punishment.
