Vampirism and transformation
Nycto introduces vampires to your world. You can become one by finding a Vampire Blood Bottle, which drops when you kill a vampire in a taiga or forest during a new moon. Drinking the bottle starts your transformation.
Once you're a vampire, you can feed by sneaking and right-clicking mobs. You can also use a Vampiric Dagger to attack humanoid mobs like Villagers or Piglins to collect blood for bottles. Folks who try this can use a Vampire Altar, made from planks or candles, to upgrade your abilities.
Powers and weaknesses
You can pick up to six powers from a list of thirteen. These abilities change how you play. Some let you turn into a bat for flight, while others let you turn into a cloud of mist to phase through blocks or become a beast that breaks blocks by hand. You can also use hypnosis to make mobs follow you or create thralls from humanoids, horses, or wolves.
Every power you choose requires you to take a weakness. For example, choosing certain powers might make you burn faster in the sun or make you move slower in water. Honestly, some weaknesses make it so you can only drink blood from humanoid mobs.
Hunting vampires
You don't have to be a vampire to play with these mechanics. Folks who try this can choose to hunt them instead. Finding Wild Garlic in swamps or forests is a good way to protect yourself.
There's specific gear for hunters, including Vampire Hunter armor, a Garlic-Coated Halberd, and a Garlic Wreath. You can also use items like firebombs, garlic brews, or wooden stakes to fight vampires.
