Vampire is a Rare enchant for Diamond Sword swords and axes. When you hit another player, it has a chance to heal you by one heart.
How to get it#
Vampire comes from the Rare rune. A Rare rune costs 100,000 XP in the enchant shop and turns into an enchanted book with one of the 11 Rare enchants in Survival, picked at random, so each rune has a 1 in 11 chance of being Vampire. See Runes for how the level and the success chance of a rune book are rolled. Vampire is also one of the possible rewards in crates (Crates).
Effect#
After each hit on another player with the enchanted weapon in your main hand, Vampire rolls its chance, which is 1% plus 2.5% per level of the enchant. On a success you heal 2 health points (1 heart). Your health never goes above your maximum.
The heal is the same at every level, so higher levels only make it more likely. Hits on mobs do not trigger Vampire.
Levels#
| Level | Chance per hit | Heal |
|---|---|---|
| I | 3.5% | 1 heart (2 health points) |
| II | 6% | 1 heart (2 health points) |
| III | 8.5% | 1 heart (2 health points) |
| IV | 11% | 1 heart (2 health points) |
| V | 13.5% | 1 heart (2 health points) |
Notes and tips#
- Vampire does nothing if you are already at full health.
- At level V a hit has a 13.5% chance to heal you.
- There is no cooldown, so a fast weapon heals more often.
