About Vampirism
From ModrinthBecome a powerful vampire or hunt them down.
Vampirism
Vampires are fast, strong and blood-thirsty entities, which do not like the sun, but don't fear the night, and the best thing is: You can become one!
This mod allows you to become a vampire with all it's benefits and drawbacks.
After being bitten by a vampire or manually injecting some vampire blood you get an effect called "Sanguinare Vampiris" which eventually turns you into a vampire.
Alternatively you can decide to become a vampire hunter and start fighting those evil creatures.

🧛 Vampire
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.
🏹 Vampire Hunter
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.
