Advanced Creative Tab
by ate48
Advanced Creative Tab is a Forge library that adds creative-mode tools for inspecting, editing and giving items, and a creative tab for items that cannot be obtained in survival.
What it does
Holding Shift over an item shows extra information such as durability, the number of times a tool or armor piece has been used, how much repair cost an anvil will charge, and the count of its tags. Durability can be displayed with colors. Pressing Ctrl and Shift together reveals the contents of a container item such as a shulker box, without opening it.
An item editor lets a player in creative mode change modifiers, repair cost and durability, and view the NBT tag of an item as a list. A giver menu, opened with a key, gives items through a clickable interface instead of the give command. The mod menu lists installed mods and has a config button, and a save menu stores the settings. The mod runs on the client only, so players can use it without the server needing it, and it is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so the source is open.

What the author says
This mod is fully client side! You only need to be in creative to use the give/modifier action, some features/fixes can be missing if you're not using the latest version of the mod for the latest Minecraft version. View inside a container using the CTRL + SHIFT command.
