(1.18.2) Get collection of existing Item categories.

I want to get a list of existing item categories, mostly for investigative purposes.

Once I have a collection of categories, I want to list items in each category.

From my understanding, the categories correspond to tabs on the Creative Tab UI. This will help me understand how things are organized and then how to manipulate those (vanilla) items.

I use logger a lot when I'm investigating like this. What is the method for getting and using the MC logger utility? And, I've got a class to handle events.

This is what I'm using for my mod events; however, This event does not appear to be raised. I'm not finding my log statement anywhere in my debug. or latest. logs.

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(Dist.CLIENT)
public final class InitializationHandler {
	private static final Logger LOGGER = LogUtils.getLogger();

	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void onInitializedEvent(FMLCommonSetupEvent event) {
		LOGGER.debug("*** *** ON INITIALIZED EVENT *** ***");
	}
}

Solved the event handler issue in the decorator:

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = Foundations.MOD_ID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD)

Now I'm still wanting to list all the categories with items...
