Vampirism - Become a vampire!
For MC 1.12 you can find the downloads here
Discord server: here
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.
Get an overview about this mod here: Overview
As a vampire
As a vampire you don't need to eat that dry bread or these strange fruits called "apples", you prefer some red and tasty blood, which you can to suck 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 might become vampires as well. You also might notice that you got 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. Besides becoming stronger and faster, you get skill points which can be used to unlock abilities like night vision, transformation into a bat, teleport and many more.
However, becoming a strong vampire also has it's drawbacks as you start taking more damage from the sun and have to face stronger vampire hunter. 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 colour your coffin to make it the rest of your home decoration.
Become a vampire hunter
If you don't like vampires, this might mod might still be interesting. You can choose to become a vampire hunter instead and start hunting down those evil vampires. Equipped with crossbows and other useful weapons you can jump into action. 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.
World
There are a few additions to the world. Besides new mobs there is a new biome called vampire biome. This foggy biome mostly accommodates vampiric creatures and is the home of vampire barons you need to fight for some ritual items.
Since vampires like to suck blood from villagers, they 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 a vampires or hunters which grants them additional benefits. If you want to capture a village you can start a raid.
Multiplayer:
This mod plays well on multiplayer servers. Players can choose to join the vampire faction or the the hunter faction or even mostly ignore this mod if they want. You also can enable PVP only between factions, so the war between vampires and humans can take place organized.
Most hostile creatures appear in different levels. 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.
There also is a Morpheus like config option, where you can specify which percentage of players have to be in a coffin to make it night. Also interesting might be the option to allow/deny players from infecting other human players with vampirism (hunters are immune due to their garlic injection).

Spotlights/Tutorials:
Minecraft 1.10/1.11/1.12:
Minecraft 1.7.10:
Minecraft 1.7.10
The 1.7.10 version differs a lot from the the newer version as they are a complete rewrite. Even though they are quite similar there quite a few smaller and larger differences. So if you see videos/tutorials about the 1.7.10 version don't expect that things work the same way in 1.12 or vice-versa.

The Glowing Eyes bug has been fixed?
In reply to JosePF18:
You mean that it looks weird? No, but you can just leave it deactivated
In reply to maxanier:
No, i mean before it didn't looks weird but now all the character head glows.
Is there a way to toggle night vision? I love this mod but it can be difficult to tell where creepers can spawn when I can't see how bright it actually is. Not to mention it can ruin the atmosphere when everything is so bright.
In reply to ContentiousAres:
Check your keybindings. Default is N I think
im tryin to become a vampire lord and ive completed all the quest the vampire representative gives but I'm still a normal lvl 14 vampire

обновление до версии 1.12.2 пожалуйстаIn reply to upredin1:
Es wäre glaube ich angebracht den Text mit deepl o.ä. ins Englische zu übersetzen bevor Du ihn in diesem englischsprachigen Forum veröffentlichst
В ответ на максанье:
Maxanier, I have such a question, I'm wondering, I'm playing on version 1.12.2, why did you stop updating it? just a cool mod, but there are no updates for a long time already, it would be cool if you would update on 1.12.2, and forgive me for writing in Russian, it was not copied correctly
In reply to upredin1:
It is just too much work to maintain that many different MC Versions. And the latest MC version also has the latest features (both for playing and programming)
В ответ максанье:
understandably, I don’t know how to write the rules, the translator translates differently, but I understood you, it’s not so interesting for you to even do almost the same thing on 2 versions, okay, thanks for the answer
vampire hunter trainer basically never spawns. If u wanna become a vampire hunter just cheat. I have not once encountered a vampire hunter trainer and that was even in creative.
In reply to meme_slayer_69:
Strange, I see them in villages fairly commonly? Provided that the village is a hunter village they usually hang out in a house.
I don't know if it only happens to me, but I have a problem when it comes to choosing the Eyes of the vampire, most of the eyes work fine but when I give it "Glowing Eyes" my character's head starts to shine everywhere.
Where is the morpheus like option
In reply to IRumplel:
Sleeping is now handled by vanilla MC or Forge, so any well implemented sleep mod should work.
Morpheus isn't one of those. I think Quark has such an option that works with any night-sleep mod
How to heal your minions?
In reply to bigdjustin2:
Ignore this above I got it now.
I have an idea for a vampire biome. the desert of ashes. a place where hunters wiped out vampires, but over the years the ashes mixed with the sand and obscured the sun,making it a great place for vampires.
there are ash particles like in basalt biome
the water is red but the ashes make it darker than in the vampire forest
there are also black cacti, the interior of which is soaked in bloodUnsure if this was asked (and answered) previously, but will there be any plans to make a port to Fabric to go alongside this one? I recently updated to fabric, and not to sound like i'm kissing the ground, this is one of my favourite mods to use, and the werewolf one looks promising as well. If a port is planned, when would the general ETA be?
