        Configuration

        This mod features an MCM menu that allows you tweak or enable/disable most of this mod.

        It's highly recommended to not tweak them when you are a vampire, if you do make sure you progress/lose a stage or some changes may not take effect.

        For a full list of features that can be changed see the screenshots.

        Stage Progression

        Stage progression is now tied to your blood level and it is based the amount of blood in a human body namely 5 liters.

        To make this transition fit in better there are now 5 vampire stages, progression through stages requires you to drink or lose 1 liter of blood.

        Progression through stages goes like normal you either feed or starve yourself to become weaker or stronger.

        You will slowly drain blood overtime to maintain your vampire powers or your humanity
