[MC-71530] Spectators can't see through lava

When in lava in spectator mode, lava is still opaque like it is in other modes. It should be transparent like other blocks are in spectator mode.

This is a bug. Spectators can see through all other blocks, why should lava be different?

Water ?

Water in spectator mode IS more transparent than it is in other modes, just not as transparent as air.

Spectators can see though all blocks except lava. This is clearly a bug. Please reopen.

Confirmed for 1.8.1-pre4. Spectators can see through lava when in blocks, but not in the lava itself.
