# Client-side entities

**What are the client-side entities?**\
Entities that are visible only to the game client, not to the server. They can only be manipulated and interacted using packets

**How to spawn a client-side entity?**\
effect: summon clientside entity %integer% with id %integer% with uuid %string% at %location% for %players%\
The first integer is used for entity type ID, you can find them here: <https://wiki.vg/Entity_metadata#Mobs> or use entity type ID expression.\
ID has to be unique, you will use it to interact with an entity, UUID doesn't need to be.\
\&#xNAN;*Example: summon clientside entity 5 with id 101 with uuid (new classic uuid) at player's location for player*

**How to remove client-side entities?**\
effect: destroy entity with id %integer% from %players%\
\&#xNAN;*Example: destroy entity with id 101 from player*

**How to move client-side entities?**\
effect move clientside entity \[with id] %integer% by \[x:] %integer% \[y:] %integer% \[z:] %integer% for %players%\
This packet allows at most 8 blocks movement in any direction, because short range is from -32768 to 32767. And 32768 / (128 \* 32) = 8\
(currentX/Y/Z  32 - prevX/Y/Z  32) \* 128\
\&#xNAN;*Example: move clientside entity with id 101 by 1600 0 1600 for player*

**How to rotate client-side entities?**\
effect: rotate clientside entity \[with id] %integer% by \[yaw:] %number% \[pitch:] %number% for %players%\
\&#xNAN;*Example: rotate clientside entity with id 101 by 16 0 for player*

**How to rotate heads of entities?**\
effect: rotate clientside entity with id %integer% by %number% for %players%\
Entities rotate their heads separately from the body, you can use this effect to rotate them.\
\&#xNAN;*Example: rotate clientside entity with id 101 by 90 for player*
