Which player? There can be a lot of players on the server... And you have to account for that if your mod isn't client only. 

You can get the list of all players with World#playerEntities.

Its any player as soon as any player is a certain distance to the mob it changes the model all works fine in client but on server it does not 

i will try the World#playerEntities

If your code has any reference to that method that is invoked from common code you will crash the server.

The client will not observe the model changing as soon as another player comes into range with your current implementation.
