[MC-46424] Chunks not loading for mob camera view

When the player in spectator mode clicks on an entity (left click) the player will get its "mob camera/POV". If the entity moves over to unloaded chunks they will not load, and the player will get a glitchy effect of falling out of the world. Also it is not possible to return to normal from this without reloading the save (Shift or /gamemode won't get the player out of the void effect).

Confirmed for me using vanilla single player, but it's easyier to get better pictures than the one provided above.

Confirm. Same for 14w05b. When in mob view ( e.g. Enderman ), the chunk rendering is not centered on the mob you are "in", only where you first entered the mob's view.

Regression in 14w30c (MC-63680)

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.8.1 Prerelease 3 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

i think you need to set gamerule "spectatorsGenerateChunks" in true
