Enhanced Operator Utilities
by 02Alexis
Enhanced Operator Utilities gives players in creative mode access to technical blocks, painting variants and boss eggs that the vanilla Operator tab leaves out.
What it does
The mod expands the Operator tab with technical blocks and items that are normally obtainable only through commands. Painting variants, boss spawn eggs and unique item variants are added as well. Potions and enchanted books move to dedicated tabs, and uncraftable potions are kept out of the regular crafting list, so the Creative inventory stays organized while the vanilla Operator tab remains intact.
Item placement can be adjusted through the configuration file, letting a player move items into the Operator tab or into a custom Enhanced Misc tab. Map makers who need quick access to these assets get them in one place instead of memorizing commands. The mod runs on Fabric and requires Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL); Mod Menu is optional. It is client-side only, so servers do not need it. Files cover 1.21 – 26.2 with 2.1.0+mc26.2 as the latest build for 26.2, under a custom license that is not open source.
