What happened?

So pretty much what it says in the title i can find hunters, advanced hunters, hunter trainers, vampire barons and normall vampires altought i can find them almost exclusively in vampire forests very rarely do i see them anywhere else

but i am yet to see an advanced vampire anywhere outside of village raids i ran around the world and walked around vampire forests for hours and still havents seen a single one

this makes it very hard to progress as i need the vampire books

i know this is a bug report but i would also reccomend adding an alternative way of obtaining vampire books as right now its only random chests or grinding rare mobs, the chest part is hard to pull of unless someone is planning a trip to the stronghold and the grind sucks out the fun of progressing as your chosen faction

I did a quick check and at least with just Vampirism installed (1.20.1, Forge 47.1.0, Vampirism 1.9.1)
Vampires spawn normally even outside the vampire forest. Advanced vampires are rare, but occasionally spawn.
Are you running many other mods?

I agree that there is some grind involved. However, previously books were exclusively obtained from loot chest and most people were mostly ok with it. Introducing the advanced mob drops improved the situation a bit. Maybe there will be some further method eventually.
Btw: Advanced hunters may also drop these books

I will say you can setup a raid type farm where you can constantly raid 1 village and have it always stay as a raidable faction to reduce the grind time needed. This would only work for advance vampires as Advance hunters won't spawn from raids.

This is more late game/me going crazy with the idea of a raid farm for village totems, but having a single setup will result in enough npcs to get you through.

i dont have much knowhow in the modding scene so sorry if im being a dumbass but i dont think any of those should affect mob spawns from vampirism especially since all the spawns except Advanced vampires and normall vampires are fine

as a sidenote a lot of the mods i listed were added after vampirism and the issue was present before they were added

also the world wasnt made with vampirism installed it was added on later any chance that could have been the cause of the problems?

With the latest version the spawn chance for advanced vampires is a bit increased. Maybe this helps.

Maybe you also try to spawn an advanced vampire in a creative world to see if that works. Maybe there is another issue.

You can also check the log if there are any suspicious messages.

Other than that I cannot really help as I am unable to reproduce this issue and spawn problems are always difficult to debug

Thats great!

No need to check if the mob itself works i was playing with a friend trough lan and neither of us could get any advanced vampires so i made a little structure with spawners in creative and the spawners worked fine

Ill try to remember to check if they started spawning and let u know
