Visual Creative Tab Editor

--- ## English **Visual Creative Tab Editor** turns vanilla and modded creative tabs into a reloadable, data-driven catalog and adds an in-game editor inspired by a phone home screen. You can organize tabs and items without manually maintaining large JSON files, while modpack and server authors can still control titles, icons, contents, ordering, and layout through regular datapacks. ### Visual editing Long-press a tab, an item, or an empty part of the creative-inventory frame to enter a unified editing session. - Drag creative tabs or their items to reorder them while surrounding icons automatically make room. - Use checkboxes to select multiple tabs or items, then move or delete them as a group. - Create new creative tabs or append items to an existing category. - Edit tab titles and icons, or replace items inside a category. - Hover dragged items over another category tab to move them and automatically open the destination. - Hold dragged icons at the left or right edge to turn creative-tab pages automatically. - Delete content through the delete area, context menu, or batch-delete button. - Use explicit Save and Cancel actions; tab and item changes share one draft and one save transaction. Items in the Search tab also support multi-selection, drag ordering, and one-click organization. Search ordering is stored as a preferred order, so items introduced by newly installed mods are still appended automatically. ### One-click organization Items in the current category can be organized by: - **Type**: semantic creative-menu groups and their native item order, such as building blocks, tools, combat equipment, food, ingredients, and spawn eggs. - **ID name**: the path after the colon in an item registry ID. - **Item name**: the localized display name for the currently selected Minecraft language. - **Full ID**: the complete `namespace:path` identifier. - **Mod ID**: available for the Search tab, grouping items by namespace. ### Data-driven creative tabs Creative-tab definitions are loaded from: ```text data/<namespace>/creative_tabs/<path>.json ``` Regular datapacks can override individual fields of existing tabs or introduce new `category` tabs. Definitions can control: - titles and icons; - visibility and ordering; - tab type and layout; - category item lists; - contributions to the global Search tab; - background, scrolling, and alignment settings. Fields are merged according to the real datapack priority order. A higher-priority pack only needs to provide the fields it wants to change. ### Generated defaults and player overrides Each world maintains two Mod-managed datapacks: ```text Highest priority visual_creative_tab_editor_player_overrides Regular datapacks Lowest priority visual_creative_tab_editor_generated_default ``` - The **generated default pack** is rebuilt from the final vanilla and modded creative tabs and is pinned below every regular datapack. - **Regular datapacks** may override those defaults or add new categories. - The **player override pack** stores the minimal differences created by the visual editor and is pinned above every regular datapack. This allows tabs and items from newly installed mods to appear automatically, lets modpacks override the generated defaults, and keeps the final in-game layout above ordinary datapack changes. Visual edits are **world-wide settings** synchronized to every player in that world. They are not separate client-local layouts for individual users. ### Compatibility and safety - Registered vanilla and modded tab objects keep their identity to reduce compatibility problems with normal extensions. - JSON-created tabs are runtime categories outside Minecraft's frozen registry. - Multiplayer edits are validated by the server and require game-master command permission. - Revision checks prevent an outdated administrator draft from silently overwriting newer changes. - Failed saves or resource reloads restore the Mod-managed files and catalog state. - No separate configuration file is currently required; settings are managed through world datapacks and the visual editor.
