Tab Atelier
by brazenpine
Players who edit Creative Mode can use Tab Atelier, a NeoForge client mod that adds a visual editor for building their own Creative Mode tabs around Fancy Tab Sections.
What it does
Tab Atelier lets a player design, organize and hide Creative Mode tabs with a visual section editor. Sections can be added, removed and reordered in a chest-like screen, and existing tabs from other mods can be edited and later restored to their original layout. Every change to the item layout can be undone or redone.
Each tab's label, icon, section headings, text color and background can be changed, and any tab may display its items either in grouped sections or as one plain flat list. Some tab changes need a game restart before they appear everywhere. The editor opens with the O key in game, and it depends on Fancy Tab Sections, which must be installed alongside it.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It targets NeoForge for 26.2, with files also published for 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, and the latest file is 0.6.0 on the beta channel.
Key features
Visual section editor
Sections are shaped in a drag-based editor that works directly in game, with no separate tool needed.
Custom and existing tabs
Players can create their own Creative Mode tabs or edit tabs that other mods already added.
Hide and restore tabs
Unwanted Creative Mode tabs can be hidden and brought back later without losing their layout.
Undo and redo
Each item-layout change can be reverted or reapplied while the editor is open.
