NotEnoughSpectators
A Minecraft mod that allows you to invite anybody to watch your gameplay in an immersive way similar to watching as a spectator in the world
Quick answer
Which NotEnoughSpectators release should I use?
NotEnoughSpectators 1.2.0 targets 1.21.8 with Fabric. It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server. All 4 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is NotEnoughSpectators required on the client, server, or both?
It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server.
This file is marked client-only.
What else does NotEnoughSpectators 1.2.0 need?
1.2.0. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Fabric API, Cloth Config API, Mod Menu, Text Placeholder API first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 1 comes through another mod in the chain.
1 extra mod was pulled in by another dependency. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

How to use
- Add this to your Fabric mods folder
- Start up your game
- Join any world or server
- Run the
/nes sharecommand in the chat - Get other players to join the server address given by the command (The link is to a Minecraft server, not a webpage. Join using a Minecraft client)
Note: You can also use the /nes stop command to stop sharing your gameplay.
How does it work?
The host client captures and stores the packets it receives, then broadcasts them to spectator clients when they join, using a dummy Minecraft server.
