About Entities

This page introduces additional entity-related functions.

Create Entities

Example:

// Create a minecraft:sheep entity at [2.5, 1, 2.5] and assign it to _sheep
var _sheep = scene.world.createEntity("minecraft:sheep", [2.5, 1, 2.5]);

// Create a minecraft:sheep entity at [2.5, 1, 2.5] and set its name to jeb_
scene.world.createEntity("minecraft:sheep", [2.5, 1, 2.5], event => {
    event.setCustomName("jeb_");
});

Return type: Internal.ElementLink<Internal.EntityElement>

The following code is excerpted from

createEntity(arg0: Internal.EntityType_\<any\>, arg1: Vec3d_, arg2: Internal.Consumer_\<Internal.Entity\>): Internal.ElementLink\<Internal.EntityElement\>;
createEntity(arg0: Internal.EntityType_\<any\>, arg1: Vec3d_): Internal.ElementLink\<Internal.EntityElement\>;

createEntity(arg0: Internal.Function_\<Internal.Level, Internal.Entity\>): Internal.ElementLink\<Internal.EntityElement\>;

Modify Entities

Example:

// Create a minecraft:sheep entity at [2.5, 1, 2.5] and assign it to _sheep
var _sheep = scene.world.createEntity("minecraft:sheep", [2.5, 1, 2.5]);

// Modify entity _sheep
scene.world.modifyEntity(_sheep, event => {

    // Set its name to jeb_
    event.setCustomName("jeb_");

    // Show hurt animation
    event.animateHurt(3);

    // Move it by [1, 0, 1] using self movement
    event.move("self", [1, 0, 1]);
});

The following code is excerpted from

modifyEntity(arg0: Internal.ElementLink_\<Internal.EntityElement\>, arg1: Internal.Consumer_\<Internal.Entity\>): void_;

Create Item Entities

Example:

// Create a minecraft:iron_ingot item entity at [2, 1, 2] with initial velocity [0.5, 0, 0]
scene.world.createItemEntity([2, 1, 2], [0.5, 0, 0], 'minecraft:iron_ingot');

Below are ([2, 1, 2], [0.5, 0, 0]) and ([3, 1, 2], [0, 0, 0]), respectively.

Return type: Internal.ElementLink<Internal.EntityElement>

The following code is excerpted from

createItemEntity(arg0: Vec3d_, arg1: Vec3d_, arg2: Internal.ItemStack_): Internal.ElementLink\<Internal.EntityElement\>;

Remove Entities

Example:

// Create a minecraft:sheep entity at [2.5, 1, 2.5] and assign it to _sheep
var _sheep = scene.world.createEntity("minecraft:sheep", [2.5, 1, 2.5]);

// Remove entity _sheep
scene.world.removeEntity(_sheep);

The following code is excerpted from

removeEntity(arg0: Internal.ElementLink_\<Internal.EntityElement\>): void_;
