Click Search Tab to Clear Search
by sophiethefox
Click Search Tab to Clear Search lets a player clear the creative menu search box with a single click on the search tab.
What it does
Clicking the search tab in the creative inventory clears the text currently typed into the search field, so the full item list comes back without retyping or deleting characters. The change is confined to the creative menu and leaves survival gameplay untouched. Only the client needs the mod; a server can run without it and players can join with or without it installed. Builds exist for Fabric across 1.21 – 1.21.5, and the code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places it in the public domain and makes it open source.
Key features
Single-click clearing
A click on the search tab empties the creative menu search field, restoring the complete item listing.
Creative menu only
The behavior applies to the creative inventory search and does not alter other screens or gameplay.
Client-side behavior
The clear action runs entirely in the game client, so it needs no server-side component.
