Ok, so - like many other people - have got stuck in a few coding holes. I do not, therfore, fully understand these concepts and require a precise tutorial to allow me to do so.

Here are my questions:

1. I require the player to be able to reach further and attack from a greater distance while holding an item

Assumed solution - I may have to use events to detect when the item is held and modify the data that sets my reach

 

2. Custom mobs being able to attack EVERYTHING. I have attempted to change my entity's AI but it still only targets and attacks the player, regardless of any conditions.

Assumed Solution -

 

3. I can't seem to find any tutorials that are in 1.7 that describe the processes needed to make custom armor models

Assumed Solution -

 

4. Custom Dimension

Assumed Solution - (need tutorial)

 

Please, people. Do not go to yourself "What the hell how don't you know this!?!?!?!". I am 12 and just started modding a month ago so leave me be.

Thanks in advance,

I think for the armor you would have to disable the default model and use RenderPlayerEvent to render your custom model.

On 2, look at the Iron Golem.  There's an AITask that handles mob targetting and it's easy to find in the IronGolem's class.

 

On 1, I don't think you're going to be able to accomplish that at your current skill level.  Heck, I've peered into the void between worlds that is ASM and survived, and I am not sure where I'd even start to look for that.
