## DefaultPlayerEntity class

Represents the default player model entity.

**Signature:**

```typescript
export default class DefaultPlayerEntity extends PlayerEntity 
```
**Extends:** [PlayerEntity](./server.playerentity.md)

## Remarks

The default player entity extends the [PlayerEntity](./server.playerentity.md) class, uses the default player model, and assigns a DefaultPlayerEntityController. This entity is the most commonly used player controlled entity in games. It automatically handles things like managing player visual customizations and cosmetics, and more. If you want to change the default model used, you can override all of the defaults, including the modelUri, but you must ensure that the model used has the same animation names and anchor points as the default player model in order to prevent unexpected behavior.

## Example


```typescript
const playerEntity = new DefaultPlayerEntity({ player });

playerEntity.spawn(world, { x: 0, y: 10, z: 0 });
```
