New visual editor, video instructions here:
 
Mod Tabs is a client-side utility mod that adds a convenient tab system to Minecraft GUI screens.
 
  • Access various mod screens directly from your inventory
  • Tabs will appear on the supported mods screens for easy back and forth tabbing
  • Press the inventory key (default e) to return to the inventory from a clicked tab
  • Tab Cycling: When on any screen with tabs, press shift+tab to go to the next tab in order (configurable in keybinds) 
  • Sticky Inventory tab on far left (configurable)
  • Sort tabs in your prefered order (configurable)
  • Prioritize which slot to open on Sophisticated Backpacks via config
  • Full compatability list below, just note that now that the mod is multiplatform (Neoforge/Fabric/Forge) only mods that support that version will be able to work with Mod Tabs, so there may be some Fabric only or Neoforge or Forge only mods listed here:

Attention modpack developers, I've created a system to allow you to make custom tabs. Some mod packs add 3,4,5 tutorial books for various mods, my idea behind this feature is that you can add them as a tab instead, both for quick access and to free up inventory space. This feature is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL and may need my assistance for special integrations. Open an issue on github if something is broken. Theoretically this could be used to open any gui screen, though certain guis have specific requirements that may need a mod patch to get working.

Here is an example with Ars Nouveau's tutorial book.



My custom tabs come with full patchouli integration, as well as many other options. Visit the wiki for more information on possibilities and limitations https://github.com/morelandjo/ModTabs/wiki/Information-regarding-custom-tabs
 

This mod was originally created by legendary_workshop, under the name Legendary Tabs, for several versions of Forge and has been updated by vodmordia (me) to work with Neoforge under (at the time of fork) MIT license. 

 

Thank you to the following Patrons for keeping my projects alive:
