New tab

Use the CreativeModeTabEvent.Register event to register your tab, the items will appear in the order you declare them. The accept method has an optional parameter to specify if the items also appear in the search tab or not. Defaults to appearing in both.

    public static CreativeModeTab MY_TAB;

    private void registerTabs(CreativeModeTabEvent.Register event)
    {
        MY_TAB = event.registerCreativeModeTab(new ResourceLocation(MODID, "main_tab"), builder -> builder
                .icon(() -> new ItemStack(ITEM1.get()))
                .title(Component.translatable("tabs.modid.main_tab"))
                .displayItems((featureFlags, output, hasOp) -> {
                    output.accept(ITEM1.get());
                    output.accept(ITEM2.get(), CreativeModeTab.TabVisibility.SEARCH_TAB_ONLY);
                })
        );
    }

Add to existing tab

Use the CreativeModeTabEvent.BuildContents event to register your tab, the items will appear in the order you declare them. The accept method has an optional parameter to specify if the items also appear in the search tab or not. Defaults to appearing in both. You can insert ordered by using event.getEntries().putBefore or putAfter.

    private void addItemsToTabs(CreativeModeTabEvent.BuildContents event)
    {
        if (event.getTab() == CreativeModeTabs.TOOLS_AND_UTILITIES)
        {
            event.accept(ITEM1);
            event.accept(ITEM2, CreativeModeTab.TabVisibility.SEARCH_TAB_ONLY);
        }
    }

Where would you recommend adding these functions? Also, where are we expected to call these functions?

@dcox45 Those are event handlers, you put them wherever you like to put the event handlers. In my mods they are in the main mod class.

Is there something that has changed since the last versions? I'm trying to add my items to an existing tab but I can't get it to work for me?!
I'm in version 44.1.0. The item is registered and I can /give them to myself but it doesn't show up in the creative tabs...

after adding to an existing tab it says that there is "no usage" how do I fix that?

Sounds like you forgot to register the event handler.

Yea you're right. In the updated forge mdk it automatically places the CreativeModeTabs in the right section it's supposed to be. I was putting it in the wrong spot and the proceeding not to correctly call it. funny thing is i posted this question to you literally seconds after you got off. yesterday. XD

I got mine working! For anybody else stuck, you can check out my project's main: https://github.com/dcox45/twmcmod

@gigaherz Hey, how do you do the lang of the tab, because i tried using "itemGroup.modid.item": "Name" but it didnt work, do you know how?

Nvm, I found it, I thought the .title was the registry name not the actual name, sorry for bothering
