You must define a special type called "animation" in data.lua. For example:

data:extend{
{
type = "animation",
name = "my-animation",
filename = "__base__/graphics/entity/electric-furnace/electric-furnace-heater.png",
width = 25,
height = 15,
frame_count = 12,
animation_speed = 0.5 ...

Like this one?

is similar to that
then you have to mine the dead entity to get the items

I haven't seen anyone using it. Though, if it is done right then in some cases you would just think that it's done with static file modifications so you wouldn't be able to tell how it is actually implemented by just looking at the result.

I haven't used it yet, but I'm thinking of doing it in ...

it is possible to change
Render an entity during the game
