The Ultimate How-To Guide for the Vampirism Mod (Vampire & Hunter Paths)

Welcome to the complete guide to the Vampirism mod for Minecraft.

In this post, I’ll take you through everything you can do as a Vampire and as a Vampire Hunter — how to level, progress, unlock powers, avoid pitfalls, become a Lord, get minions, and more. No fluff. Let’s get started.

1. How to Become a Vampire

There are two ways to become a vampire:

1.1 Get Infected Naturally

image
  • Fight vampires in the world.
  • Occasionally they will infect you with Sanguin Vampiris.
  • The effect lasts 8–11 minutes.
  • Once the timer ends → You become a vampire.

1.2 Use Vampire Fangs

  • Vampires can drop Vampire Fangs.
  • Right-click the fangs to infect yourself.
  • You will take slight poison damage, then gain Sanguin Vampiris.

Preventing Infection (Optional)

image
  • Drink milk before the effect ends

    • – or –

  • Find a Vampire Hunter Tent and speak to the normal hunters. They will cure you only while you’re still infected.

After You Become a Vampire

Once infection ends:

  • Your hunger bar changes to a blood bar.
  • You gain a Vampire Level (starts at 1).
  • Your eyes visually change.
  • Your inventory gains a new Vampire Menu Button, including:
    • Skill screen
    • Appearance options

2. Drinking Blood

image

To feed:

  • Walk up to a mob.
  • If it is drinkable, your cursor turns into red fangs.
  • Press V (default keybind) to feed.

Green fangs = garlic-tainted blood → do NOT bite.

Feeding Notes

  • If you have empty bottles or buckets in your inventory, feeding automatically fills them.
  • Draining a mob fully kills it.

3. Leveling to Vampire Level 2–4 (Altar of Inspiration)

image

Step 1: Craft an Altar of Inspiration

  • Made from a Blood Container.

Step 2: Fill It With Blood

Right-click the altar with blood bottles (or pipe it in using other mods).

Step 3: Use the Altar at Night

  • Right-click at night.
  • Lightning strikes you.
  • Each ritual consumes blood:
    • Level 1 → 2: 4 buckets
    • Level 2 → 3: 3 buckets
    • Level 3 → 4: 10 buckets

You are now a Level 4 Vampire.

4. Vampire Skills (Levels 1–14)

image

Open the Vampire Menu → Skills.

Skills include:

  • Night Vision
  • Regeneration
  • Bat Form
  • Dash
  • Blood Vision
  • Many more…

You cannot unlock everything without:

  • Config editing, or
  • Installing Godly Vampirism, which doubles skill points and removes most weaknesses (optional mod).

You also have:

  • Appearance options (eye types, glowing eyes, titles).

5. Leveling Vampire 4 → 14 (Altar of Infusion)

image

Step 1: Craft the Altar of Infusion

Requires Gold + Obsidian.

When you place it, it will say:

“You need more or stronger pillars.”

Step 2: Build Infusion Pillars

You may place up to 6 pillars around the altar.

Each pillar is a stack up to 3 blocks high made from:

  • Stone Bricks = 1 point each
  • Iron Blocks = 2 points each
  • Gold Blocks = 3 points each

Tip:

Full pillars of 3 gold blocks each = 9 points × 6 = 54 points, enough for all levels.

Step 3: Add Altar Tips

Craft Altar Tips and place them on top of every pillar.

Step 4: Required Items

Left Slot → Pure Blood (Purity 1–5)

Middle Slot → Human Hearts

Right Slot → Book (“My Book” / vampire books from dungeons)

Where to find Pure Blood:

  • Found in Vampire Biomes (dark, foggy forests)
  • Dropped by Vampire Barons
  • A Baron’s level = purity
    • Level 1 → Purity 1
    • Level 5 → Purity 5, etc.

Higher levels require higher purity.

Purity 5 works for all lower requirements.

Where to get Hearts:

  • Kill Vampire Hunters (in tents or villages).

Where to get Books:

  • Strongholds
  • Dungeon chests
  • Pyramids
  • Named Vampires

Step 5: Perform the Infusion Ritual

  • Insert required items
  • Wait for night
  • Right-click the altar
  • Blood beams from pillars → you level up

Repeat until Level 14.

(You can cheat via /vampirism level vampire 14.)
