Fractal

by DaFuqs

Fractal is a library that adds item subgroups to the creative menu, so modders can split large item groups into several tabs.

FabricNeoForgeQuiltClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.19.2 – 26.2

What it does

A modder who declares a new ItemSubGroup can assign items to it with a single line of code, and the subgroup then appears as its own tab in the creative inventory. Fractal condenses the subgroups so one item group can hold up to 12 tabs, and it passes an ItemSubGroup in place of the main item group where a mod needs one.

Fractal needs Fabric API. The server and every player need the mod installed. Builds are published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt across 20 game versions, 1.19.2 – 26.2, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Labels in the menu use a tiny font and support full Unicode.

Key features

  1. Item subgroup tabs

    Items can be grouped into subgroup tabs inside a creative menu item group, keeping large collections easier to navigate.

  2. Up to 12 subgroups

    One item group can hold as many as 12 subgroup tabs, condensed so the menu stays usable.

  3. One-line setup

    Creating a new ItemSubGroup and assigning items to it takes a single line of code change.

  4. Unicode tab labels

    Subgroup labels use a small font and support the full Unicode character set.
