Saro's Creative Tab

Build your own creative tabs with commands on 1.20.1+, or reach the hidden vanilla items on older versions.

Header

What this does depends on your version:

  • 1.20.1+: create, delete and fill custom tabs with commands. Every player on the server sees the same tabs.
  • 1.19.4 and older: Adds a single utility tab with access to hidden vanilla items (Command Blocks, Barriers, Structure Blocks, Light Blocks).
Overview

Dynamic tab manager (1.20.1+)

Admins create tabs via commands. Tabs are saved to JSON and synced to every player on login. Permission levels control who can create, delete, or modify tabs.

Note: After tab changes, players need to rejoin for the creative inventory to update.
