Research direction

Start by locating the [MC1272] player detector implementation and how it identifies nearby players in spectator mode. Reproduce the reported behavior with an invisible spectator, then verify that spectators no longer trigger the detector while ordinary nearby players still do.

CRAFTBOOK-3149 - Reported by jjkrause

(Please switch this issue to CraftBook, as I can only create it under WorldGuard for some reason). I have some games that use the [MC1272] player detector to perform certain actions when a player is near, but the invisible spectators in "/gamemode spectator" can trigger these actions by flying around the detector. I think spectators shouldn't trigger the player detector as they are only spectating. Thanks.
