This plugin add the horror of vampirism to your minecraft server.
Any player may turn into a vampire if they contract the infection and doesn’t manage (or doesn’t care) to cure themselves in time.

Turing into a vampire
To become a vampire you must first contract a certain infection. This infection will make you sicker and sicker until you finally turn into a vampire. If you want to stop the infection you can either eat bread or use a good altar (read more about altars further down).
There are three ways to contract the infection:

1. Fight against vampires in close combat. For each attack (from either you or the vampire) there is a 1/30 risk that you will contract the infection.
2. Use an evil altar. Any player can build such an altar (read more about altars further down).
3. Ask a server operator to infect you. There is a server command for this.

After you contract the infection you have one hour (real time not game time) before you turn. This is about 3 minecraft day night cycles.

Being a vampire
Vampires…

• Burn in sunlight.
• Take no fall damage.
• Can breath underwater… or rather does not need to breathe at all.
• Has a reservoir of blood between 0 and 100.
• Must drink blood from humans or animals to not die from starvation.
• Can not eat normal food.
• Regenerates health automatically. (costs blood)
• Won’t be attacked by monsters unless the vampire attacks first.
• Can jump and fly using a red rose. (costs blood)
• Deal more damage in close combat.
• Take less damage in close combat except for attacks from wooden weapons which hurt them a lot.
• Occasionally infects others in close combat.

A vampire is considered to stand in sunlight if it is daytime and the blocks above the vampire is too transparent. So for example a vampire will burn under a clear sky but be safe under a cobblestone roof. If the roof was made of glass the vampire would burn. It is possible for vampires to take cover under trees if they are thick enough. It takes 4 leaf-blocks to block the sun… etc.

To drink blood a vampire must damage other humans or animals. So if you are a vampire you will find that it is possible to go the vegetarian way… however humans are much more tasty (you get much more blood from them than animals). It is important to keep track of your blood supply. Use the v command every once in a while. If blood is over 50 the regenerate ability will work. You will slowly heal your wounds automatically at the cost of blood. However if you blood is below 50 you are thirsty and will slowly loose health. If blood is below 20 you are very very thirsty and will loose health fast.

Curing a vampire
The only way to cure a vampire (except for the admin cheat command) is to use a good altar.

Altars
There are two types of altars. Good ones and evil ones. These altars can be built by any player. The evil altar can be used to contract the infection that after a while will turn you into a vampire. The good altar can stop the infection and even cure already turned vampires. The altars are made of one main block and 20 nearby blocks:

• A good altar is a Lapis Lazuli Block with 20 Glowstone Blocks nearby.
• An evil altar is a Gold Block with 20 Obsidian Blocks nearby.

Note how I wrote nearby. To be more precise nearby means within a radius of 7 blocks away from the main block. This means you may design your altar how you like. Put the secondary blocks in any way you think look nice

To use the altar you right-click on the main block (gold or lapis).

Commands
The base chat console command is /v or simply v. This means you don’t need to write the forward slash if you don’t feel like it.

The base command v can be used by vampires to display their current blood reservoir. There are also the following subcommands for server operators (OP):

• v infect [playername] *[amount from 0 to 100]
  The player turns into vampire at infection 100. 0 means no infection.
• v turn [playername]
  Instantly turn a player into a vampire.
• v cure [playername]
  Instantly cure a player from vampirism.
• v list
  List all vampires on the server.
• v load [config|players|all]
  Load data from disk.
• v save [config|players|all]
  Save data to disk.
• v time [ticks from 0 to 23999]
  Set the time. 0 means sunrise. 1 ingame hour is 1000 ticks.
• v version
  Find out which version you are running.

Installing

1. Download the latest release: https://github.com/oloflarsson/Vampire/tree/master/releases
2. Put Vampire.jar in the plugins folder.

A default config file will be created on the first run. You don’t need to modify it. The default file is good. But if you feel like it you can alter all ingame messages and a lot of the game balance from there.

Plugin integration: Help and Permissions
This plugin support the help plugin. Make sure you install that plugin. Otherwise you will have no ingame help menu.

This plugin supports the permissions plugin. Note that the server operators (OP's) always will have access to all commands.
To get started fast:

• Add to the default group:
  -'vampire.default.*'
• Add to the admin group:
  -'vampire.*'

These are all permission nodes:

• vampire.default.command.blood
• vampire.default.command.version
• vampire.admin.command.list
• vampire.admin.command.infect
• vampire.admin.command.turn
• vampire.admin.command.cure
• vampire.admin.command.save
• vampire.admin.command.load
• vampire.admin.command.time

Current ToDo list:

• Reduce CPU load
• Create better permission nodes.
• Raw porkshop should restore some blood for vampires when eaten.
• Add the option to allow vampires to walk in the sun when using full armor.
• Add the option to make vampires more vulnerable to fire.
