DS Nocturne
by DwayneSalore
DS Nocturne is a Forge mod for 1.16.5 that gives players vampire abilities, with bat form, blood-based powers and structures added to the world.
What it does
The mod adds vampire abilities that the player can use and enemies can fight. Bat Form turns the player into a bat with a speed boost and a swarm of bats that follows the player and covers the sun. Blood Syphon drains blood from a creature with a shift melee attack, and the blood feeds the other powers. Blood Storage increases how much blood the player can hold, while the Superhuman passive raises strength, speed, durability and resistance. Low health grants temporary regeneration and invincibility, with increased damage from abilities for 10 seconds.
Some abilities are disabled by default and are executed with exceptions, so the set of powers is shaped by which ones are active. Crystallized Blood is an item that can be used to obtain power. The mod also adds three structures: a Fletcher Hut, a Butcher Hut and an Abandoned Chapel. The author notes that the project is unfinished and that the Vampire Totem is still in progress.
Installation needs only Forge for 1.16.5. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The files are 1.0.0 for 1.16.5, in the beta channel, and the code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
