Entities package
The Entities package is part of Unity's Data-Oriented Technology Stack (DOTS). It provides a data-oriented implementation of the Entity Component System (ECS) architecture.
For a full list of ECS-related packages, refer to ECS packages. It is not common to use the Entities package by itself; usually, a combination of Entities Graphics, Unity Physics, and/or Netcode for Entities is used.
See the ECS Samples for introductory material, including tutorials, samples, and videos.
