Call of the Night
by Nhbybnb
Call of the Night gives players a vampire transformation on Forge, with abilities that change with the time of day and a bite that feeds on other players.
What it does
Players can become a vampire and gain a set of abilities that include better night vision, faster movement, higher jumps, more resistance and more strength. A player who has turned can bite another player, which replenishes hunger and health, and a Turn Vampire action can make a player a vampire as well. Once a player has used an ability, the bite or turn action is triggered with the right mouse button, so the same key covers both actions.
The mod adds a Call Night ability that opens a new gameplay loop for vampires, using their abilities at night. An explosive attack damages an area in front of the vampire, dealing heavy damage to nearby targets. Everything runs on the client and the server, so both sides need the mod installed for the feature set to work.
The files target Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 only. The latest Forge build is 1.0.0, published on 2024-08-24, and the mod is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

How it compares
Maleficium: Vampires, Magic & More! is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 that is also client and server, under All rights reserved, so it covers the same vampire theme with a wider set of content. Vampirism is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, runs on Forge and NeoForge and covers 1.12.2 – 26.1.2, so its version range is much broader. Call of the Night itself is limited to Forge 1.20.1 and is not open source.
