Interface Definition:

• Package: `com.nyrds.pixeldungeon.mechanics`
• 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 UI and logs

The `NamedEntityKind` interface does not have JSON configuration. It is:

• A Java interface implemented by base game entity classes (mobs, items, buffs, spells, etc.)
• Used as a common contract for identifying and naming entities

The `NamedEntityKind` interface does not reference string resources directly. The `name()` method is typically implemented in subclasses to return values from string resources via `StringsManager.getVar(R.string.XXX)`.

The `NamedEntityKind` interface is implemented entirely in Java. No Lua scripts use it directly.

Interfaces extending NamedEntityKind:

• Doom Interface — Interface for doom-type buffs (extends NamedEntityKind)

Entities implementing NamedEntityKind (selected):

• Artifact Buff — Base class for artifact buffs
• Buff — Base buff system
