Entities are lit according to the light level of the block their position is in. For example, if a [[minecart]] runs over a non-straight track directly into a solid block, it will turn black (since solid blocks always have a light level of 0), and [[arrow]]s are sometimes seen to turn black (especially if fired shallowly into the ceiling).

Entities listed as “solid” obstruct the passage of other entities.
The size is in block lengths (usually considered to be 1 meter), and is the size of an [[wikipedia:Axis-aligned bounding box#Axis-aligned_minimum_bounding_box|axis-aligned bounding box]] with the specified width in both horizontal dimensions (X and Z) and the specified height in the Y dimension. This box does not rotate as the object rotates visually.
For a listing of numeric entity IDs, see [[Data values#Entity IDs|Data values]].
