Entity (The Aether)

Entities encompass all dynamic, moving objects throughout the Aether.

Properties

All entities have the following properties:

• A position, rotation, and velocity.
• A volume consisting of one or more non-rotating, three-dimensional boxes with a fixed height and width
• Whether they are on fire, displayed as flames on or around the entity
• Whether they have any status effect, such as from potions

Entities in the Aether follow the same rules as Minecraft's entities; Most entities can be pushed around by water currents, and some can have their trajectory altered by explosions if already traveling at speed. Some entities can be renamed by using a name tag on them. Entity tiles, items, shot or thrown projectiles, area effect clouds, and experience orbs do not have a current health. Entities that do have a health status include mobs, players and boats.

Entities in the Aether are categorized into Mobs, Vehicles, Projectiles, and Miscellaneous. Mobs are additionally classified as Passive, Neutral, Hostile, or Boss mobs.
