Animating non-existing entities

[DasBabyPixel]

I am basically trying to animate non-existing entities. I have a dummy entity (Not added to the world!) which I render, but if that entity is a bat or a bee, the wings don't animate properly. If its a wither, the outer skulls don't turn etc. I have tried to just call the Entity#tick method, but that did not work. Now im kinda clueless what to do.

Thanks for help!

Most entities use Entity#tickCount for animation, which is incremented every tick outside the tick method.

Thank you very much, working perfectly!
