Filters API

by ZiYueCommentary

Filters API is a client-side library that splits the creative inventory into filter tabs so players can find items by category.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.16.5 – 1.21.4

What it does

Filters API adds filtering system creative mode tabs to the creative screen, shown on the left side. Each tab limits the items displayed to the category it covers, which makes finding a specific item quicker. Items that match no category are collected in an uncategorized filter, so they do not disappear from the creative menu. The mod was inspired by the Filters Mod for MrCrayfish's Furniture Mod and its text has been translated through ZiYue Weblate. It is released under the MIT License and is open source. Files exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, across 13 game versions, 1.16.5 – 1.21.4.

Key features

  1. Category filter tabs

    Tabs on the left side of the creative screen restrict the shown items to one category at a time.

  2. Uncategorized filter

    Items not sorted into any category are gathered in a separate filter, so none of them vanish from the creative menu.

  3. Library for other mods

    Other mods can add their own filter tabs through the API, and several catalog mods rely on it.
