 Description   

All entities are invisible. Players cannot see each other, mobs, paintings, shot arrows, thrown entities (snowball, splash potion), falling blocks (naturally: Sand & Gravel), placed down boats, primed TNT, and item frames.

You can hear the entities move, explode, and do their natural sounds, but cannot see them. I know they're there because you can kill them with flint and steel or lava, and they can damage you. They drop loot, but nobody can see it, but it can be picked up, if you randomly walk over the (invisible) dropped item.

>Yeah, min is 2, and max is 32. It use to work with 0 in 1.10 though.
No it didn't.
You probably had a mismatch of your server.properties view distance which was 1 and the overriding per world view distance in spigot.yml which was another value >= 3.

Ticket to track upstream:

Sounds like the minimum view distance limit code was lost in the 1.11 upgrade. This would mean your 0 or 1 value isn't being capped at 2 internally when sending entity packets. So, why not just use the supported minimum value instead of something outside it's range? Seems like a non-issue.

Yeah, min is 2, and max is 32. It use to work with 0 in 1.10 though.

Comment by BillyGalbreath [ 24/Nov/16 ]

Isn't the minimum supported value for view distance 2 or 3?

Comment by RandomHashTags [ 24/Nov/16 ]

Zero & one (0 & 1)

Comment by Black Hole [ 24/Nov/16 ]

What value did you ue for the view-distance?

Comment by RandomHashTags [ 24/Nov/16 ]

For some reason teleport away and coming back didn't work. I tried loading 4 new servers, and no progress. The fifth time I started a new server it worked. For some reason changing the view-distance in the server.properties made this glitch.

Afaik this is a vanilla client bug. Often times players will not be able to render any entities at all on my server as well. After looking it up I found this old bug: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-65040

To fix, our players just teleport away (/spawn or /home) and go /back. If you dont have a teleport plugin you can disconnect and reconnect. You will be able to see the entities again until next time it happens, at which point you will have to rinse and repeat. I'd say it happens about once a day to me under heavy usage.

I'm still having this issue after creating 4 different worlds, and making 4 different servers with the latest spigot-1.11.jar from the BuildTools.

No plugins. Already using the Vanilla Client. No mods. Gamemode 3 doesn't show any entities.
EDIT: Server created with the default Spigot.yml

Comment by Black Hole [ 24/Nov/16 ]

Please list all your plugins and try with a vanilla client. You could try game mode 3 to see if those entities are invisible.

You probably broke your spigot.yml
