Creative Tab Organizer (CTO)
by Ziver1246
Creative Tab Organizer lets players reorder, hide, inspect and manage the tabs of Minecraft's Creative Mode inventory through a dedicated visual screen.
What it does
Modpacks with many creative tabs often end up with a long, unsorted list of them. The mod gives a visual interface for organizing those tabs: tabs can be dragged into a custom order, sorted alphabetically from A to Z or from Z to A using built-in modes, and moved together when several are selected at once. Single tabs or groups can be hidden and restored, and the order of each page can be brought back to its default. For large packs, a multi-page organizer splits the tab list across screens.
The inspection view lists detailed information for each tab, including its position, whether it is visible, its identifier and how many items it contains. Empty tabs are marked visually, so they can be spotted and hidden. Large collections of tabs can be handled without opening configuration files, which would otherwise be needed.
Creative Tab Organizer is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 as the game versions. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Just Enough Items (JEI) is an optional dependency, and the mod works without it.
