Well, you could add an alpha layer to your entity model? And use opengl?

 

And invincible add health to it every tick if it is below the max.

What's an alpha layer and how do I add it?

 

And by invincible I mean that you can't hit it.

Alpha layer represents the transparency of the image(texture), You can set it using image manipulation program.

Also you can modify alpha value in blending with GL calls.

Ok how do I enable / modify alpha in GL?

Use GL11.gl4f

Ok I figured out the invincible part. I just set the isEntityInvulnerable to true and then they can't be hit
