Description

EntityCollection3D (accessed via viewport.entities) only implements append(). It is missing pop(), find(), and extend() methods that the 2D UICollection provides.

Reproduction

import mcrfpy
viewport = mcrfpy.Viewport3D(pos=(0,0), size=(100,100))
viewport.set_grid_size(16, 16)
entities = viewport.entities

entity = mcrfpy.Entity3D(pos=(5,5), scale=1.0)
entities.append(entity)

# These all fail:
hasattr(entities, 'pop')      # False
hasattr(entities, 'find')     # False
hasattr(entities, 'extend')   # False

Expected Behavior

EntityCollection3D should match UICollection's interface:

pop(index) - Remove and return entity at index
find(name) - Find entity by name
extend(iterable) - Append multiple entities

Impact

Cannot remove individual entities from the viewport without clearing all. Workaround: rebuild the collection.

Found during village integration demo development.
