It is a fantastic gamemode in which players may explore any block and seek any entrances or caverns. It is mostly used to search for openings underneath or through any solid brick wall.
Mojang just provided a means to enable the long-awaited gamemode in beta versions of the game; however, it has undergone some alterations and faced some glitches along the road.

Players will not be able to engage the gamemode ordinarily because it is still under development and will be available in the next update. Players will instead have to toggle the functionality in the world settings.

After opening the World List, the player can click the edit button and scroll down to the 'Experiments' list. They will discover a 'Spectator Mode' toggle here that they may activate before creating a new planet.
Because the experiment features will lock after the world is built, players must always toggle this option before the world is generated.
Second, gamers must go further into the world settings and select the 'Allow Cheats' function, which will allow them to create and execute instructions. In Minecraft Bedrock Edition, players may only access spectator mode by using commands.

Once players have entered the world with cheats and spectator mode enabled, they must complete a few additional tasks before they can be effectively activated. Players will enter the gamemode if they input the command '/gamemode spectator' and execute it normally.
It will, however, be buggy because they will be unable to travel vertically. They will only be able to crouch and shift upwards gradually. While this is a problem that Mojang is currently working to resolve, there is a workaround.
To begin, players must be in Creative mode (and flying mode). They can fly about by hitting the spacebar twice.

They can type the command to alter the gamemode once they are in flying mode. This will place them in the correct gamemode, where they will be able to fly vertically and pass through obstacles.
Players may also note that, for the time being, the spectator mode will display a survival mode HUD, which means the health and hunger bars will be visible. However, players need not be concerned since this will be addressed as well.
