How do I make a mob check the distance between it and the player?(Its for a if statement)

There is probably a method for it, but if you have to, way not just use simple geometry?

 

Distance between 3D points

Sqrt(Dx*Dx+Dy*Dy+Dz*Dz)

oh, ok thanks I am just trying to do something like this http://prntscr.com/2ft9ae so I was wondering if there's any simple version(not the one with alot of codes) for it.

I'm assuming your function is passing through a parameter of EntityPlayer, so you can just use entityplayer.getDistanceSq(x, y, z)

Unfortunately, that doesn't work.
