Struct EntityBase 

pub struct EntityBase {
    damage_history: DamageHistoryBinding,
    generation: EntityGeneration,
    id: i32,
    uuid: Uuid,
    world: SyncMutex<Weak<World>>,
    state: SyncMutex<EntityBaseState>,
    save_data: SyncMutex<EntityBaseSaveData>,
    movement_trace: SyncMutex<EntityMovementTrace>,
    lifecycle: SyncMutex<EntityLifecycleState>,
    relationships: SyncMutex<EntityRelationshipState>,
    portal_process: SyncMutex<Option<PortalProcessor>>,
    level_callback: SyncMutex<Arc<dyn EntityLevelCallback>>,
}

Common fields and methods shared by all entities.

Entities embed this struct to avoid duplicating core identity, position, and lifecycle management code. The Entity trait implementation can then delegate to EntityBase methods for common functionality.

Example

pub struct MyEntity {
    base: EntityBase,
    // Entity-specific fields...
}

impl Entity for MyEntity {
    fn id(&self) -> i32 { self.base.id() }
    fn uuid(&self) -> Uuid { self.base.uuid() }
    fn position(&self) -> DVec3 { self.base.position() }
    // ... delegate other common methods ...

    // Entity-specific implementations:
    fn entity_type(&self) -> EntityTypeRef { vanilla_entities::MY_ENTITY }
    fn tick(&self) { /* custom tick logic */ }
}
