Render entities

[llbit]

It would be great if entities could be rendered.

Entity support would enable rendering these things:

• Mobs
• Animals
• Paintings
• Signs with proper text
• The book hovering over enchanting tables
• The book on lecterns
• Ender crystals
• Particles
• Beacon beam effect
• Head blocks

Static objects are a priority due to higher benefit/effort ratio. Mobs would need a posing interface. Initially poses could be coded in scene settings, and some presets can be a simple in-between measure.

I'd suggest a way to move/pose mobs in the Preview Window to make it easier to stage a render. We could make this a separate feature, though. There's ways to do it ingame already.

Current progress:

• ✔Paintings
• ✔Text on signs
• ✔Mob heads

could we get a way to disable loading entities in the config file for us headless people?

@jason-green-io I have added the renderActors scene variable now in the scene.json file, which currently does not have a corresponding UI element.

Great news, thanks Jesper!

I'm guessing this thread is the explanation as to why my armor stands, item frames, etc. never render?
