Night Hunters
by HiddenThorn
Night Hunters adds vampires to the Overworld, with Vampire Manors in forests, Vampire Servants, Vampire Masters and Vampire Hunters that attack them.
What it does
Vampire Manors are found only in forests and forest variants, and they are rare. Each manor can house several Vampire Masters, along with Vampire Servants. Servants are created when a player is bitten by a Vampire Master, and they go down quickly even for a lightly equipped player. The Vampire Masters are the main threat: they have 60 health, deal 15 damage to unarmored players, and their close-quarters attack applies weakness to nearby players.
Vampire Hunters are neutral, so they attack only a player who has provoked them, and they also attack hostile undead such as zombies, zombie villagers and skeletons. They come in three types: archers who fire arrows, swordsmen in chain mail with iron swords, and captains with diamond swords and full iron armor. Hunter Camps are small fence, barrier and tent sites scattered through the world. The mod requires Forge or NeoForge and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source.
