Another difference is that Players will cause map blocks to be loaded, whereas Entities

Entities are sometimes known as Lua Entities.

Don't be fooled though, all entities are Lua entities.

This distinction is muddied by the fact that Entities are controlled using a table

For 3D models with animations, the bone argument is used to attach the entity

to a bone.
|

3D animations are based on skeletons - a network of bones in the model where
|
||||
each bone can be given a position and rotation to change the model, for example,
|
||||
to move the arm.
|

Attaching to a bone is useful if you want to make a character hold something.
