title: Take Item Entity
description: "Play 0x7C, server → client."
---

`play` · `0x7C` · **clientbound** (server → client)

Plays the pickup animation of an item or arrow entity flying into a collector. The server sends it when an entity picks up an item; `pickupItemCount` is the amount taken. The client only animates; the actual removal comes via `RemoveEntities`.

Sent by the server, read by the client. Listen for it with `client.on("TakeItemEntity", (data) => …)` on the receiving side.

## Fields

| Field | Type | Notes |
