I'm trying to remove Items from creative tabs. But the method setCreativeTab() is no longer present in the Item class.

Is there a new method/new way of doing that?

I have tried this (which gives me an error on startup (UnsupportedOperationException: null)

@SubscribeEvent
    public static void removeItemsFromCreativeTabs(FMLCommonSetupEvent event){
        for (Item item:ForgeRegistries.ITEMS) {
            if (item.getName(new ItemStack(item)).getString().equals("Wooden Pickaxe")){
                item.getCreativeTabs().clear();
            }
        }
    }

 

The method you are using returns an unmodifiable list in its default implementation so you can't clear it.

If you want to modify the actual data, you will need to use an access transformer to make the Item.category field public

https://forge.gemwire.uk/wiki/Access_Transformers

But there is no guarantee the Item actually uses that field.

An item can override getCreativeTags() to do something else (vanilla items don't do this).

 

You should probably also be aware that Mojang are changing how this works in 1.19.3

https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-22w42a

Boilerplate:

If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you. For curseforge you need to enable the forge debug.log in its minecraft settings. You should also post your crash report if you have one.

If there is no error in the log file and you don't have a crash report then post the launcher_log.txt from the minecraft folder. Again for curseforge this will be in your curseforge/minecraft/Install

Large files should be posted to a file sharing site like https://gist.github.com  You should also read the support forum sticky post.

`getCreativeTags()` or `getCreativeTabs()`?

Isn't reflection a viable option? It doesn't seem complicated.

Rather than iterating all of the items you want to remove, you can set up place holders in your mod code:

	//	get a handle on items we want to remove from tabs
	@ObjectHolder("minecraft:wooden_sword")
	public static Item WOODEN_SWORD = null;

... now, in your event, instead of iterating the collection, you can test whether the item is assigned:

LOGGER.debug("Item :: WOODEN SWORD [" + (WOODEN_SWORD != null) + "]");

My log produces the following line:

I used reflection to set the `Item.category` to `null` which removes the item from a `CreativeModeTab`. Here's the class:

import com.mojang.logging.LogUtils;
import net.minecraft.world.item.CreativeModeTab;
import net.minecraft.world.item.Item;
import org.slf4j.Logger;

import java.lang.reflect.Field;

public class ItemReflector {
    private static final Logger LOGGER = LogUtils.getLogger();
    private static final String CATEGORY = "category";
    private static final Class<Item> CLASS = Item.class;

    private final Field category;

    public ItemReflector() {
        LOGGER.debug("Reflecting (" + CLASS + ")");

        Field catField = null;

        try {
            catField = getField(CATEGORY);
        } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
            LOGGER.error(e.getMessage(), e);
        }

        category = catField;
    }

    public void setItemCategory(Item item, CreativeModeTab tab) {
        try{
            category.set(item, tab);
        } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
            LOGGER.error(e.getMessage(), e);
        }
    }

    private Field getField(String fieldName) throws NoSuchFieldException {
        Field field = CLASS.getDeclaredField(fieldName);
        field.setAccessible(true);

        return field;
    }
}

... then, to implement:

// snipped irrelevant code

import com.mojang.logging.LogUtils;
import net.minecraft.world.item.*;
import net.minecraftforge.registries.DeferredRegister;
import net.minecraftforge.registries.ForgeRegistries;
import net.minecraftforge.registries.ObjectHolder;
import net.minecraftforge.registries.RegistryObject;
import org.slf4j.Logger;

public class ItemInit {
	private static final Logger LOGGER = LogUtils.getLogger();

	private final ItemReflector reflector;

	//	get a handle on items we want to remove from tabs
	@ObjectHolder("minecraft:wooden_axe")
	public static Item WOODEN_AXE = null;

	public ItemInit() {
		reflector = new ItemReflector();
	}

	public void removeItems() {
		String itemName;
		String categoryName;

		reflector.setItemCategory(WOODEN_AXE, null);
		LOGGER.debug("Removed Item [" + (WOODEN_AXE.getItemCategory() == null) + "]");
	}
}

 

Now, what this does *NOT* do is remove the item from searching. You can still find the item by searching for "wooden". As soon as I figure that out, I'll update the answer.
