Spectator mode is glitched

My friend made a hardcore server for us to join. Eventually, I died but i wanted to spectate my friends playing especially during intense situations. When I load up the world and click on the spectating option, the world is completely invisible other than players, pets, and mobs. When i tried to restart my game and join back, it skipped the death screen and went right to spectate mode but i couldn't move and it looked as if the players were spazzing out in place. This has only happened in the new update (1.14) and ive never seen it before. Also, after the first time spectating, the glitch happened and it isn't seeming to stop.
