~~ Future updates will mostly consist of several more quests being added and utilization of the prestige mod

This modpack brings forth very large challenges - please do not complain that it is hard, but offer balancing ideas if you wish.
Important-to-know challenges:

You'll likely be playing in hardcore
You're allergic to sunlight (try a reverse bed)
You cannot consume food, even fun food like golden apples or lantern jelly - only blood, and only from a blood altar (which you do not start with)
As you exhaust yourself more, you will need more and more blood to sate your thirst
Oh yeah, also all your items will go poof constantly and your tools and armor will lose durability idly - have fun with that and read the in-game guide to learn how to remedy this

When starting the game, you should pick a Topography world type.

Crashing? This modpack will rarely crash, but if it does, you should first simply relaunch as there shouldn't be a persistent problem.

Poor FPS? remove/disable shader * lower your render distance * lower or turn off other graphics settings * [if using optifine] change settings under video settings --> performance * allocate more (or less) memory

If the game freezes for a long time every couple of seconds, it's likely caused by Garbage Collection.
To fix the problem: Add the text on the next line to the end of your launch arguments @ Minecraft Launcher/Installations/Vampiric Stasis/More Options/JVM arguments (with a space between the old and the new)
