You don't have the animation texture for the body armor, at least not where is is looking. check the namespace, classname, spelling, etc.

namespace ThePlusPack.Items
{
public class LightBar : ModItem
{
public override void SetDefaults()
{
item.name = "Light Bar";
item.width = 20;
item.height = 20;
item.maxStack = 99;
AddTooltip("THE BARS OF PHYSICAL LIGHT!!");
item.value = 100;
item.rare = 7;

public override void AddRecipes()

recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID.Hellstone, 3);
recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID.Meteorite, 3);

recipe.SetResult(this, 1);
recipe.AddRecipe();
recipe = new ModRecipe(mod);
recipe.AddRecipeGroup("ExampleMod:ExampleItem");
recipe.SetResult(this, 1);
recipe.AddRecipe();
 
So with tModLoader is it possible to...

-Remove the starting copper items?
-Reduce the pickaxe power of a pickaxe?(Cactus Pickaxe)
-Change the range of an existing pickaxe?
-Change starting hearts?

I don't think any of the errors you listed are in the file you posted.
 
I tried making a custom recipe, but I got this error:

You have that method there outside of the class it belongs to. Move that } down so that the method is in the class
 
Can someone help a total noob(me) in a problem?
What does this error code mean and how to fix it?
I'll show my code, which is pretty much copypasted from the example mod if it is needed

Okay I moved it so it's in the class. Now I'm getting this error:

c:\Users\cntdr\Documents\My Games\Terraria\ModLoader\Mod Sources\MyCustomRecipes\MyCustomRecipes.cs(8,24) : error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Items' does not exist in the namespace 'MyCustomRecipes' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

EDIT: Nevermind, I discovered this isn't needed because I don't have custom items: using MyCustomRecipes.Items;

I also was using ItemID.Dirt when I should of used ItemID.DirtBlock

Okay I am going to need some expert assistance on this one, I am trying to give a weapon of mine a recoil knockback effect while keeping its shotgun burst, but I got this error and I am too much of a newb to figure it out.

My issue:
2nd day of modding terraria i wanted to make a buff that works on NPC hit
I used the one everybody uses, it works.... on melee weapons.
When I use it on magic weapons the buff just doesn't appear.
Is it a new method that I need to use?

I'm guessing you're shooting a projectile with your magic item? If so, you want to apply the (de)buff via the projectile you shoot, not the item that shoots it.
 
I want to make a couple of alternate water candles (so that when your near a the vanilla water candle and the 2 alternate water candles, the enemy spawn rate will get an increase from all 3).

I looked at the example mod and I don't see an example of a furniture item that gives a buff. So, if I had AlternateWaterCandle.cs in the Tiles folder, would I add something to it, to do so?

You would probably want to use this method. You could utilize it as follows:
Code: 
public override void NearbyEffects(int i, int j, bool closer)
{
    if(closer)
    {
        Main.player[Main.myPlayer].AddBuff(mod.BuffType("MyCandleBuff"), 10);
    }
}

I haven't made the buff yet, but I tested using an example buff and it worked. Thanks.

EDIT: I think I have the buff figured out, but I tried testing my mod and I got this error:

An error occurred while loading CorruptionCandles
