What it does

Creative Tabs + sorts the creative tabs alphabetically by display name by default. A search box at the bottom of the creative menu filters items across the tabs, and it can be limited to a specific mod's items. The configuration screen controls what the search matches and how the tabs are ordered. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it. Required dependencies are Cloth Config API and Fabric API on Fabric. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1.

Key features

  1. Alphabetical tab sorting

    Creative tabs are listed alphabetically by display name, and the order can be changed in the configuration.

  2. Creative menu search

    A search box in the creative menu finds items across all tabs, and the search can be narrowed to one mod.

  3. Configurable search and order

    Options control what the search matches and how the tabs are sorted, which eases finding items in large modpacks.
