Troubleshooting

Procedure

1. Make sure you are using the latest Vampirism version for your MC version
2. Search open and closed issues here for similar bugs
3. Check known issues below
4. Make sure the issue is directly related to Vampirism or does only occur with Vampirism installed
5. Open an issue here and fill in the template completely. If the game crashes provide the crash report. See below

Known issues

Game crashes on player death

Some mod is likely messing with Forge capabilities/player entities.

Mohist (1.16)

Certain version of Mohist 1.16#700-740 are bugged.

No vampires are spawning

General

This is a tricky issue as mob spawning is quite complex and many things can mess it up. It is likely that either a) some other mod purposely modifies the spawning algorithm/list or b) some other mod accidentally spawns too many other entities. Have a look on your mod list and try to spot suspicious mods. Then try to narrow it down by removing mods and testing vampire spawn in a freshly generated flat world

Custom Mob Spawner / Mo's creatures (1.12)

Custom Mob Spawner replaces the vanilla spawning algorithm and does not properly handle Vampirism's creatures.

As a workaround: Go to your config directory and look for the CustomSpawner directory. In there you should find a overworld folder with a Creatures subfolder. Edit the DE.cfg file and look for vampire and vampire baron. Change canSpawn to true and the type to MONSTER. With that I was able to see some vampires spawn. However, I do not know if this is reset on certain occasions.

Thaumcraft - Can't get Examine Fire closely research (1.12)

As a workaround you can go to your config directory (or use the GUI Main Menu -> Mods -> Vampirsm -> Config -> Balance) and open the Balance - vampire_player.cfg (Vampire Player General) and change fire_vulnerability_type to 0 and fire_vulnerability_max_mod to 1. Thereby the increased fire vulnerability added by Vampirism is deactivated.

Crashreport - If your game crashes or does not start, we do NEED a crashreport

Without a crashreport file, we can do absolutely nothing to help you.
So please follow the following steps (If you have questions about the steps themselves, feel free to ask):

1. Find the Minecraft crash report file. If you use the standard Minecraft launcher, the folder can be found here. The interesting file is inside the crash-reports, choose the latest file. If you use another launcher, it might have a function to easily upload or locate log files.
2. Create an issue here, describe the problem and include the log either within a spoiler or as a Paste of it. Alternatively you can post it on our Discord.

There is a helpful guide here

Besides that there are two things which can make stuff easier for you or us:

1. MultiMc is a very useful launcher/mod manager, which allows you to upload your log files with one click.
2. OpenEye is a useful mod, which sends crashes together with some useful information to the mod authors, so please consider installing this
