Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.21.0-pre.1 - 1.21.6, outdated):
creativetabexpander_v1.0.2.zip  1-click install

This mod gives you the ability to tweak the creative tabs so that if you have alot of modded tabs they won't be cut off

 

-Config Explanation-

-TabHeight : increase this if your creative tabs are still being cut off at the bottom. Default is 545

-TabWidth : increase this if you want to be able to see more of the text in the tabs. Default is 130 (I don't reccomend making this higher than 230 because it results in buggy tab selection)

-VanillaTabCount : This is the amount of tabs that will be on the left hand side of the creative inventory. Default is 16

 

Feel free to report any bugs in the comments, this doesn't affect survival in any way

A very helpful mod, thanks it makes it easier for me to play. 💜
It's a pity that this part is still unavailable XD

I think it would be easy to use this if there was a config lib option for the tabs. That way, I can see the tabs overflowing and adjust on the spot.

Mr_J_Soda The config should generate in the (yoursystem)\VintagestoryData\ModConfig after the first world load as of version 1.0.2 if It doesn't try reinstalling the mod

Where do I find the config for this mod? I can't seem to find the file

@DejFidOFF I am actively searching for a more robust solution for the creative tabs, right now this is just a bit of a hacky fix that allows you to have a bit more space than you did before, i think the limit is 32 tabs per row before things start getting cut off again, try setting the config to the following  -TabHeight - 1145, -TabWidth -130, -VanillaTabCount- 32, this should give you the highest possible amount of tabs that can be viewed on screen.

Hello o/ Nice one. But if you have more mods, it still can´t reach all the way to bottom..

Asiltic Thank you for the feeback! I have removed the hard dependency for 1.21.6 on version 1.0.2

I run a server with over 150 mods, this is going to be so useful for admin tasks... I had someone super upset that they'd removed a block entirely instead of picking it up, and I had no way to spawn a replacement because I just couldn't get to the creative tab for that mod. This would have fixed that. Great stuff!

Asiltic, Jan 2nd at 3:06 PM

It says the mod works for 1.21.0 - 1.21.6, but it ONLY works for 1.21.6, because you added version 1.21.6 as a hard dependancy in modinfo.json.
Removing the line

  "Dependencies": { "game": "1.21.6" },

makes it possible to use game versions other than 1.21.6. And it seems to work fine :)

i was literally just looking for something like this

 

thank you

DejFidOFF, Jan 2nd at 7:21 AM

I reported that months ago to devs... Nothing.. 

JikkityJuice , Jan 2nd at 7:17 AM

AgentOfChaos I appreciate your comment I apologize that initial version i uploaded didn't work. I believe I solved the issue, but let me know if anything still doesn't work.

AgentOfChaos, Jan 2nd at 6:20 AM

This is exactly the thing I've been looking for as a 215 mods user. You just can't see all the tabs. Thank you moddev.
