So good evening to all mad scientists here! This mod was made to be the simplest possible so everyone can make own Monster or friend. And yes Frankenstein's Monster wasn't evil :).

The main core is already working properly and well... It's alive!

Easy tutorial, so even my grandma could do that! 😀

1. To build your creature first you must find the place where thunderstorms appears most often so the best will be to just prepare such world
2. Then you need to build the surgical operating table and put it in your lab
3. Then build special laboratory lightning rod (install it on the rooftop) not vanilla lightning rod. Its good to make more than one, just connect them all after that
4. Then above the surgical operating table you must install the electrodes
5. After all of this, connect the laboratory lightning rod with the electrodes above the surgical operating table using electric conductor blocks
6. Then if you want to have control over the electricity from the lightning strike, instead of one (or more) electric conductor blocks, replace them with conductor switch, so you can turn it on or off, cause you really don't want to raise unfinished creature you're building right now :)
7. After this, right click on the surgical operating table to run the creator above the surgical operating table (red breathing square will appear)
8. Then start chiseling body parts like you always do (on the ground or somethin...) using chisel and hammer. Best way is to name legs, arms, heads and tails by choosing the rename tool with chisel (use names like: "arm", "leg", "head" or "tail"). Corpse doesn't needs to be named.
9. If you have all parts like legs, arms, head and corpse, click RMB on a red breathing cube above the surgical operating table with corpse you just chiseled.
10. Then you can add more corpse parts on it as well as you can install arms, legs, head or/and tail. And thats all and yes, you can add more than one head or more than two hands or legs :)
11. This is important, if your creature is above or clips through the surgical operating table's surface, use the hammer + click RMB on surgical operating table to adjust the creature final height appearance, so it stands on the surgical operating table's surface, otherwise if creature is too low or too high, it will appear same way in the world as entity when its alive (in the ground or above it which doesnt looks cool). I'll automate it in next updates, but for now it can be done only manually
12. Now make sure that conductor switch you installed allows lightning electricity to flow to your electrodes and if the thunderstorm will start and laboratory lightning rod will catch the thunderbolt, your creature will raise alive!

In survival mode if you want to search quickly for the recipe, just type "Alive" and you'll see all items from It's Alive ;).

There's also experimental chain to catch the creatures you've built, so you can transport them into the room you want them to be in, but careful, if the creature is hostile it may break the chains. Also if you;re too far from the monster, chain will break as well.

Known issues to fix soon:

• creature bounding box is too small and usually its in creature's feets
• glowing blocks in creature's parts are not stable yet, so they may be dark for now
• creature probably won't deal you any damage even if it tries, or it will but very little
• creature has no sounds yet (including taking damage sound)

If you discovered any more issues, please tell me ;). Have a nice evening and sleep WWWELL tonight 🧟‍♂️🧛‍♂️👻 }:)
