TabManager

Preview of TabManager's main interface

TabManager gives you total control over your creative inventory to organise it however you want with a simple and easy-to-understand GUI. Don't need a specific tab? Hide it! Want the tab on a separate page? Move it! Unhappy with items cluttering your tab? Simply get them out of your way!

In short, TabManager gives you control of the following things:

  • reorganise your creative inventory by moving and hiding icons
  • add pages to your creative inventory
  • customise the icons of the tabs
  • filter out items from tabs with either glob or regex
  • save multiple different configurations of your creative inventory
  • load saved configurations on the fly

Dependencies

The mod requires OwoLib to function, which wraps vanilla GUI widgets from Minecraft and provides additional functionality for mod developers. The dependency is licensed under the MIT License and therefore freely available.
