====== Named Entity Kind ======

**NamedEntityKind** is a base Java interface in Remixed Dungeon used as a common contract for identifying and naming game entities. It is defined in `com.nyrds.pixeldungeon.mechanics`.

==== Interface Definition ====
<code java>
package com.nyrds.pixeldungeon.mechanics;

public interface NamedEntityKind {
    String getEntityKind(); //this one for machines
    String name(); //this one for humans
}
</code>

==== Methods ====
  * **``getEntityKind()``** — Returns the machine-readable entity kind identifier (e.g. used for serialization, factory lookup, JSON configuration matches).
  * **``name()``** — Returns the human-readable name used in the UI and logs. In subclasses this is typically implemented by returning values from string resources via ``StringsManager.getVar(R.string.XXX)``.
