RefinedCreativeInventory
by DarkKronicle
Players who spend time in the creative menu can use RefinedCreativeInventory, a Fabric and Quilt client mod that replaces the inventory screen with its own search, saved hotbars and display options.
What it does
RefinedCreativeInventory rebuilds the creative inventory screen. Search matches item names, tags, flags and groups, and typing in the search bar focuses it automatically. Items can be hidden or shown per tab through a custom flag, and the screen can be configured with a flag group that mirrors the vanilla inventory tab groups.
The mod also reworks the vanilla saved hotbars. Many hotbars can be stored under named profiles, switched with the up and down arrow keys or the X key, and two main hotbars can be chosen through a profile shift-click combination. Most colored elements, the background color and the slot outline can be changed in the configuration.
Files are published for Fabric and Quilt, for 1.18.2 and 1.19.2, with 1.19.2-0.1.3 as the latest file for each loader. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it, and it is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 as open source. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked from its project page.
Key features
Search by name, tag and flag
The search bar matches item names, tags, custom flags and groups, so items can be found without scrolling through tabs.
Saved hotbar profiles
Many hotbars can be stored under profiles and switched quickly, with two main hotbars selectable by a shift-click combination.
Hidden and shown items
Items can be hidden or shown per tab using a custom flag, which keeps the creative menu limited to the blocks a player uses.
Configurable colors
Background color, slot outline and most colored elements can be changed, and item tags on servers can be viewed.
