How would I go about rendering as/from a different entity? I want it to be possible to either render as a different entity, or render at a different entity.

 

Edit: I am coding this mod for 1.12.2, because other versions are still beta, mods for 1.14/1.13 are small in number, and nobody is really in a rush to make their mods 1.14

Try changing the Minecraft#renderViewEntity field

I also want to be able to "control" the entities. Is there a better way for controlling entities?

Why dont you explain in more detail what you want to do.

I want to be able to control entities as if they were like players, with an inventory, and armor slots.

You'll need to set the players velocity to zero every tick. Or find some way to prevent their movement. Then you'll  need to change the velocity of the entity in an input event.
