Use for: simple straight-line movement. Do NOT use for: obstacle avoidance; use `PathfindingEntityController`. **Signature:** ```typescript move(target: Vector3Like, speed: number, options?: MoveOptions): void; ``` ## Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
target	[Vector3Like](./server.vector3like.md)	The target coordinate to move to.
speed	number	The speed at which to move to the target coordinate (blocks per second).
options	[MoveOptions](./server.moveoptions.md)	_(Optional)_ Additional options for the move operation, such as callbacks. \*\*Category:\*\* Controllers

**Returns:** void ## Remarks \*\*Position only:\*\* This method only changes position, not rotation. Use `face()` simultaneously to rotate the entity toward its movement direction (-Z forward). \*\*Replaces previous target:\*\* If called while already moving, the previous target is discarded and the entity starts moving to the new target. There is no queue. \*\*Straight line:\*\* Moves directly toward target using `entity.setPosition()`. Does not pathfind around obstacles. \*\*Animations:\*\* Starts `moveLoopedAnimations` on the first tick of movement. When complete, starts `idleLoopedAnimations` (unless `moveStartIdleAnimationsOnCompletion` is false).
