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).

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.

It looks like it’s a forge issue, try reinstalling forge completely and see if that fixes the issue.
In reply to webdragon444:
alright
nope, it didnt work.
In reply to flowerwarrior567:
sounds like your hard drive is full or you do not have enough RAM. Definitively unrelated to Vampirism
In reply to maxanier:
alright, I guess I have to start cleaning up my hard drive
In reply to maxanier:
I have around 930 gb and 876 of that is free
In reply to flowerwarrior567:
Try allocating more memory then! Click installations in your launcher, then click on your forge instance and go to more options.
under JMV Arguments, you should see this line: -Xmx2G
change that number to: -Xmx4G
or higher to allocate more to the instance.
In reply to webdragon444:
I'll try, thanks
Uh, forge instance?
In reply to webdragon444:
In reply to webdragon444:
It still crashed
In reply to flowerwarrior567:
Well, the only other things I can suggest is deleting any resource packs you might have, and if that doesn’t work, fully reinstall minecraft. There really isn’t much information given by these types of crashes... you could try switching to a launcher that keeps instances of minecraft separate, like MultiMC. That launcher keeps files organized and clean, so it’s easier to narrow down what causes crashes. You add a separate instance every time you want to install a mod or a mod pack, and it keeps a separate minecraft folder for each so you can ensure there aren’t problems caused by other instances. I’m really sorry I wasn’t able to find the source of the problem for you... :(
In reply to flowerwarrior567:
The error actually says that it is a write error and for most people that would be a full hdd, but in your case i think it is the location of your minecraft directory.
A few OS are prickly about writing files in user directories meaning you may need to move the pack to something like a games\minecraft\modpack directory.
-Xmx8G (aka use 8gb) is a good tag just as -Xdebug (make a debug file) is. There is a few others but at the end of the day most of them only change whether the cpu or memory is used for particular jobs. Either way that number after xmx is max memory allocation and is good until a max of 8gb - after that java has problems.
In reply to McKitten:
oh
In reply to McKitten:
both the -Xmx8G and the -Xdebug didn't work
In reply to webdragon444:
fully reinstalling minecraft doesn't work either
In reply to flowerwarrior567:
The only thing left I can recommend you is to use multimc.org as webdragon suggested.
BTW: @webdragon444 thank you for trying to sort this out
In reply to maxanier:
alright, and thank you guys for trying to help me
In reply to webdragon444:
how do I use multiMC?
In reply to flowerwarrior567:
Once you have it installed, click the ‘Profiles’ drop down(top right) and log in to minecraft. (The program is safe, don’t worry, I’ve used it for years.)
after that, click ‘Add instance’(top left) and choose which minecraft version you want to use.
select the instance by clicking it, then on the bar on the right, select ‘Edit Instance’. Another window should pop up.
Select ‘Install forge’(right bar in middle), then select your forge version.
Then, switch to the ‘Loader Mods’ tab on the left, click ‘add’ and drag the vampirism.jar into that.
(if you prefer, you can select ‘View folder’ in the bottom right of the window to be redirected to the .minecraft/mods folder)
If you want to allocate more Memory(which can help the game run a little more smoothly), click the settings tab in the main window, then click Java on the left bar and change maximum memory allocation(I use 6144MB, which is 6G).
Optionally, to chose the theme of the program, click settings, MultiMC, then the user interface tab.
Hopefully this will help :)

In reply to webdragon444:
alright thanks
In reply to webdragon444:
It loaded the game, and crashed a few seconds after I log into a world
In reply to flowerwarrior567:
well, that should at least give a crash-report... click 'minecraft folder' in multimc to get it's .minecraft folder and post the crash report
