Getting Started
Vampirism is a mod that adds a whole new way of playing Minecraft. You may have previously spent a lot of time avoiding mobs, but as a Vampire, you will develop a thirst for killing :)
You may want to explore more than normal, which is why I suggest installing a few other mods that help with that. Some kind of mapping mod to help you find your way around and something that gives you a few more inventory slots is a good idea. To encourage exploration, we have added more villages in more biomes. The villages in swamps are especially interesting.
You will start out as a regular player, to become a vampire you will firstly have to get a Vampire's Fear sword. You can craft it with four Vampire Fang collected as drops from killing vampires. As a regular player, Vampire Hunters will not attack you but the Vampires will. Use the Vampire's Fear against them and collect their blood. Also look in swamps for the Blood Altar. When you have the sword full of blood, perform the first ritual by inserting the full Vampire's Fear sword into Blood Altar at night to become a Vampire.
Once you become a Vampire, one of your main sources of blood (at least the best source) is villagers and you should find plenty of those. Watch out though, there are still Vampires that may attack you, same as when you are a regular player. The Vampire Hunters will not, when you are a level 1 Vampire.
As a Vampire, you need to watch how much blood you have. Suck blood by pressing 'F' from Villagers and from some mobs to get more blood. You can store extra blood in Blood Bottle. You transfer blood between the Blood Bottle and the Blood Bar with right click and shift right click on the mouse. You will know which mobs you can't get blood from, as you will receive damage trying to suck their blood. You start at level 1 (see the HUD for your level). You will have improved jump, health, and attack.
To get to higher vampire levels you have to perform different rituals. When you get above a certain level, the Vampires will no longer attack you, but the Vampire Hunters will. As you advance your abilities improve, but some disadvantages like sun damage might appear.
###Levels 1-3 Blood Altar Tier 2: You have to craft the altar tier 2, place it down and fill it with blood from blood bottles. Then you can right click it at night to perform the the ritual. The required amount of blood varies on the level you are.
###Levels 4-X: Yet to be implemented.
Happy hunting!
