Version 1.3.2 – Spectators can see each other

Fixes

• Fixed: When two or more players spectated the same arena, they became invisible to each other (both in the world and in the tab list).
• Change: Spectators from the same arena no longer hide each other. They now remain visible to fellow spectators while staying completely invisible to regular players.

Everything else unchanged

• Collision box removal (anti‑push)
• Particle & held item hiding
• Teleport cleanup (lobby invisibility fix)
• Automatic watchdog & manual /bwsfix cleanup

---

Spectators can finally see their fellow ghosts – no more lonely invisibility.

Version 1.3.1 – Instant teleport cleanup (lobby invisibility fix)

Critical fix

• Fixed 100% reproducible bug – players became completely invisible (including in tab list) after being teleported to the lobby when a BedWars1058 game ended.
  The plugin now listens to PlayerTeleportEvent and instantly removes stuck infinite invisibility and hidden states if the player is no longer in any arena.

Improvements

• Added performIndividualCleanup(Player) for fast, targeted cleanup on teleport.
• Teleport cleanup is delayed by 1 tick to ensure BedWars1058 has updated its arena state.

Configuration

No new configuration options – works automatically.

Compatibility

• Fully backward compatible with v1.3 configs.

---

No more invisible players in the lobby – guaranteed.

Version 1.3 – Automatic watchdog & tab list fix

New features

• Automatic cleanup watchdog – runs every 30 seconds (configurable via cleanup-interval) to scan all players, remove stuck infinite invisibility from non‑spectators, and force visibility restoration.
  No more rare “invisible player” glitches.

• Tab list fix – the cleanup task now forces showPlayer() between all online players, fixing cases where spectators (or other players) disappeared from the tab list or became permanently invisible.

• Cleanup announcements – after each automatic (or manual) cleanup, the console receives a detailed log message, and all online OPs are notified in chat.
  Example:
  [BedWarsSpectatorFix] Cleanup: removed 2 stuck invis, fixed 3 visibility entries, reapplied fixes to 1 spectators.

• New /bwsfix reload command – reloads config.yml and restarts the cleanup watchdog with the new interval. No server restart needed.

Configuration changes

Added cleanup-interval (default: 30 seconds) to config.yml.

# How often (in seconds) to run full cleanup scan
cleanup-interval: 30

Improvements

• The cleanup watchdog also reapplies fixes to true spectators, ensuring their collision box and invisibility remain active even after edge‑case glitches.
• The plugin now exposes isTrueSpectator() and applySpectatorFixes() publicly – used by the watchdog to safely re‑apply fixes.
• Cleanup can be triggered manually with /bwsfix cleanup (permission bwsfix.cleanup) – same behaviour as the automatic task.

Fixed issues

• Extremely rare cases where a normal player would keep infinite invisibility after server lag or plugin reload – resolved.
• Spectators sometimes appearing incorrectly in the tab list (missing name or blank slot) – resolved.
• On some servers, after a long uptime, spectators would start pushing mobs again – the watchdog’s reapplication fixes that as well.

Compatibility

• Fully backward compatible with v1.2 configs – new options have safe defaults.
• Still requires BedWars1058 (v24.9+) and Java 11+.

---

Version 1.3 is the most reliable release yet – no more invisible ghosts, no tab list oddities, just silent and collision‑free spectators.

Version 1.2 – Zero false positives + emergency cleanup

Critical fixes

• Completely eliminated false positives – normal players (including those using invisibility potions) will never become invisible or collision‑free.
  The plugin now requires both arena.isSpectator(player) == true and !arena.getPlayers().contains(player) before applying any fix.

• Fixed “stuck invisibility” after uninstalling – when the plugin is disabled or removed, spectators no longer stay permanently invisible.
  Added a cleanup command /bwsfix cleanup that removes all infinite‑duration invisibility effects and restores visibility for everyone.

New features

• Emergency cleanup command – /bwsfix cleanup (permission: bwsfix.cleanup) instantly removes all effects added by this plugin.
  Useful for manually recovering from any leftover invisibility.

• Auto‑cleanup on disable – when the plugin shuts down, it automatically removes all its effects (configurable via auto-cleanup-on-disable).

• Smart invisibility removal – the cleanup only removes invisibility effects that last longer than 1,000,000 ticks (i.e., the infinite ones added by this plugin).
  Normal shop‑bought invisibility potions (duration ~1 minute) are not affected.

Fixed issues

• Spectators could still push iron golems or other custom entities – fixed by a low‑frequency collision refresh task (every 10 seconds, configurable).
• After spectating a player (right‑click) and sneaking to exit, the spectator sometimes regained collision boxes or became visible again – fixed by re‑applying fixes on any player interaction.
• Uninstalling the plugin left spectators invisible forever – fixed by the cleanup system.

Configuration changes

Added new options to config.yml:

# Automatically cleanup effects when plugin disables (recommended: true)
auto-cleanup-on-disable: true

Existing options (mute-effects, debug-mode, collision-refresh-interval) remain unchanged.

Compatibility

• Build against Spigot 1.12.2
• Works on all versions supported by BedWars1058 (1.8 – 1.20)
• Requires Java 11+

Upgrade notes

If you are upgrading from v1.1:

1. Replace the jar file.
2. Restart the server (or reload plugins).
3. (Optional) Run /bwsfix cleanup once to clean any leftover effects from the old version.

Version 1.2 is the most stable release – no false positives, no residual invisibility, just a clean spectator experience.

Version 1.1 – Improved state detection & anti-push

New / Improved

• Fixed spectators pushing custom entities (iron golems, etc.) – added a low‑frequency collision refresh task that re‑applies setCollidable(false) every 10 seconds, solving the issue without any performance impact.
• Enhanced state detection – now relies solely on IArena.isSpectator(player) API, completely removing GameMode checks that caused false positives (regular players becoming invisible in tab list and in the world).
• Double‑check safety – all fix applications are delayed by 1 tick and verify the spectator state again, preventing race conditions and incorrect fixes.

Fixed Issues

• Spectators could push iron golems or other mobs placed by players off bridges.
• Players sometimes became completely invisible (including in tab menu) due to incorrect spectator detection.

Configuration

Added new option collision-refresh-interval (default: 10 seconds) to control how often the collision fix is reapplied.

Compatibility

• Works with BedWars1058 v24.9 and any version supported by it.
• Requires Java 11+.

Upgrade to 1.1 for a seamless, glitch‑free spectator experience!
