sometimes the head of a spectator looks solid

@unknown I might be able to attach the world, but it only appear when I've been in a certain area.
The screenshots are from my 15w47c version server, I could also give you the IP, because I don't know if any scoreboard value (un)assigned might effect it, so I can also guide you though, or even place signs to follow the steps in the effected world if I have to attach it

sorry for the music in the background, I was listening to it, and didn't realise it recorded it too.
as for the area I teleport to, it has a lot of redstone, if I return to the first area, the bug still occures

I didn't managed to reproduce the bug.
Can you attach a world save with the mentioned bug and the skins of the people involved ?

Are you using a resource pack, because in the video it looks like it but in the crash report the line is empty?

I might attach it later today.
I'll just put some signs down telling you what to do, because I don't know if any scoreboard values effect it
I was only capable of replicating it when on the server, alone, I'll have someone else check if it appears for him if he's alone too.

Also it happens regardless of resource pack

someone I know manages to confirm it happens with the exact steps given.

attached both his and my skin because it has been asked to do so.

map: http://www.mediafire.com/download/dj1u67ev1npy79o/MC-93377.zip
reminder, map runs on a 15w47c server, that could also effect it

another person can confirm

Couple questions.

I didn't managed to reproduce the bug using the map, but I might have a couple ideas on what is going on.

When 2 persons are spectators, do they see each other solid or transparent ?
Can you confirm normal players can't see the spectators ?
Are you touching the teams in any way via command blocks ?

Seems like the part supposed to determine transparency doesn't trigger properly and returns that the rendering should be solid (ie : this is not a rendering problem, more like a logical problem with what should be transparent and what shouldn't).

they see each other transparent
non spectators don't see the spectators
the only thing being touched by teams is that people with a OnlineTime 2880 score are joining a blue team and people with Moderator joining red
team rules edited away from default: color (blue/red) and seeFriendlyInvisibles (false)

still in 15w51b, even the hitbox still says it should have a hitbox.
if you can't reproduce this, I can give you a server IP which runs the exact map, so you can test it there

Confirmed for

• 15w51b

It just happend (randomly) for me. The player behaves partwise like not beeing in spectator mode: Flying through blocks zooms in and out the whole time.

I seem to have found a way to reproduce this, at least for me, the area in the video, going to spectator mode before the chunks correctly load makes it happen, can anybody confirm that?

resolving to MC-92916, this is not the only issue that arrives when teleporting to unloaded chunks
