Kill to Spectate is a simple server-side Minecraft mod that changes how player deaths are handled.

How It Works

  • PVP deaths: If a player is killed by another player, they are automatically switched to Spectator mode.
  • Other deaths: Deaths from fall damage, mobs, lava, and other environmental causes keep the player in Survival or Adventure mode.

This mod is perfect for PVP servers where you want defeated players to continue watching the game without leaving it entirely.

Commands

  • /spectatormod on
      Enables the mod.
  • /spectatormod off
      Disables the mod.
  • /spectatormod status
      Displays whether the mod is enabled or disabled, and shows the currently selected mode.
  • /spectatormod mode instant
      Players are switched to Spectator immediately after being killed by another player.
  • /spectatormod mode afterdeath
      Players die normally, drop their items, and are switched to Spectator after respawning.

Modes

  • instant
    Immediately switches players to Spectator upon PVP death.
  • afterdeath
    Players die normally, drop their inventory, and are switched to Spectator after respawning.

Features

  • Server-side only (clients do not need to install the mod)
  • Enable or disable the mod at any time
  • Two configurable spectator modes
  • Configuration is saved automatically and persists across server restarts
  • Works on dedicated Forge servers for Minecraft 1.20.1

Default Settings

  • Mod enabled by default
  • Default mode: afterdeath
