Vampires are fast, strong and blood-thirsty entities, which hate the sun, but do not fear the night - and the best thing is: You can become one!
This mod allows you to become a vampire with all of the classical benefits and drawbacks.
After being bitten by a vampire or manually injecting some vampire blood, you receive an effect called "Sanguinare Vampiris" which will eventually turn you into a vampire.
Alternatively, you can decide to become a vampire hunter and start fighting these evil creatures.
Get an overview about this mod here: Overview
As a vampire you don't need to eat that dry bread or strange fruit called "apples", you prefer some red and tasty blood, which you can to drink from animals or preferably villagers. If you are careful they might regenerate their blood over time, but if you suck all their blood at once, they will die. As a skilled vampire you may turn them into vampires instead. Furthermore, you may notice that you now have red eyes and fangs.
In the beginning you are a very normal and weak vampire, but by performing vampiric rituals you can level up and gain new powers. Aside from becoming stronger and faster, you gain skill points which can be used to unlock abilities like night vision, transformation into a bat, teleportation and many more.
However, becoming a strong vampire also has its drawbacks as you will receive damage from sunlight and have to face stronger vampire hunters. So you probably want to shift your activities to the night, unlock night vision and craft yourself a coffin to sleep through the day. Don't forget to color your coffin to make it match the rest of your home decor.
If you don't like vampires, this mod might still have plenty to offer. You can choose to become a vampire hunter instead and start hunting down those evil vampires. Equipped with crossbows and other useful weapons, you have a full arsenal at your disposal. By collecting items, fighting strong vampires and exploring the world you can level up and unlock advanced skills which improve your hunting ability or even allow you to use some of the vampires powers against them.
There are a few additions to the world. Including new mobs, there is a new biome called vampire forest. This foggy biome mostly accommodates vampiric creatures and is the home of vampire barons you need to fight to gain ritual items.
Since vampires prefer to suck blood from villagers, villages are now protected by vampire hunters. If too many people in a village are bitten they will call for reinforcements or if it gets too dire, the villagers will just grab their pitchforks and start hunting vampires themselves.
Villages can be controlled by vampires or hunters which grants them additional benefits. If you want to capture a village, consider planning a raid to take some territory.
This mod is made to work perfectly on multiplayer servers. Players can choose to join the vampire faction, the hunter faction, or even mostly ignore this mod if they want - the choice is yours. You also can enable PVP only between factions, so the war between vampires and humans can take place without interfering with the rest of your server.
Most hostile creatures are affected by player strength. The strength of a spawned creature is affected by the level of nearby players. Around strong vampire players, strong hunters will spawn, but around normal humans only weak vampires will appear.
For common places (e.g. spawn) you can place (cheat only) sunscreen beacons, so vampires can visit them during the day without taking sun damage.
Also consider using the config option to allow/deny players from infecting other human players with vampirism (hunters are immune due to their garlic injection).
