Vampirism turns the night into your natural habitat. A bite from a vampire, or a manual injection of vampire blood, gives you the Sanguinare Vampiris effect, which eventually converts you into one of them. Vampires are fast, strong and blood-thirsty, and once the change takes hold you gain red eyes, fangs and a very different way of feeding yourself in Minecraft.
Dry bread and apples stop mattering, because you now drink blood from animals and, preferably, villagers. Feed carefully and they recover over time; drain one completely and it dies, though a skilled vampire can turn villagers instead. Vampiric rituals raise your level and hand out skill points for abilities such as night vision, turning into a bat and teleportation. The trade-off is sunlight damage and stronger hunters on your trail, so most players shift their activity to the night and craft a coffin, dyeable to match the rest of the house, to sleep through the day.
If you would rather stand on the other side of that fight, the vampire hunter path is just as developed. Hunters get crossbows and a full arsenal of useful weapons, and level up by collecting items, defeating strong vampires and exploring the world. Their advanced skills sharpen the hunt and can even let them use some of the vampires’ own powers against them.
Nearly everything here can be tuned. Beyond the general settings there is a long list of balance values you can adjust to taste, and any part of the mod you do not enjoy can simply be switched off.
