## Spawn Module
Provides a single function to 'spawn' an entity at a given location.
### Parameters
* entityType - <String|Object> The type of entity to spawn. This can be a string (see entities module for reference) or a framework-specific object type (see https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/EntityType.html). A list of [all possible entities][ents] functions (equivalent to the EntityType enum).
* location - where the entity should be spawned.
[ents]: #entities-module
### Example
Using the entities module as a helper, spawn a new polar bear at the world's default spawn location:
```javascript
var entities = require('entities'),
spawn = require('spawn');
...
var spawnLocation = world.spawnLocation;
spawn(entities.polar_bear(), spawnLocation);
```
This module is in turn used by the Drone's `spawn()` method and the `jsp spawn` command.

## Entities module
The Entities module provides a suite of functions - one for each possible entity type.
The Entities module provides a suite of functions - one for each possible entity type.
It acts as a helper or enumerated module to assist in use with the `spawn` module and command.
This module is useful for TAB-completion at the in-game prompt.
When each function is called with no parameters, it will return the appropriate EntityType object.
For example `entities.polar_bear()` will return an `EntityType.POLAR_BEAR` object.
When each function is called with a single parameter - an entity - the entity's type will be compared and return true or false.
