[FIXED] /spec hides the spectatee on the world playerlist

When holding down "tab," a useful list of players on the given world pops up. However, I recently noticed that when spectating someone, the player being spectated will not appear on said list.

Let's say I am on main, and so is (example) doberman411. Upon pressing tab, his name will appear, just like everyone else's who happen to be in main. But if I spectate dober, his name will fall off the list.

Thanks!
RB :D

This is intentional. When spectating the server removes that player from you so that you dont see their body twitching in front of you.

It removes their sprite, yes. But from the tab list as well? Is that neccessary?

Minecraft uses the same mechanism for showing players and their names in the tab list. I'll see if I can work around this, e.g. by moving the spectated player off-screen.
