One Block in Multiple Creative Tabs

[Draco18s 2417]

BLOCK, NOT ITEM

 

The item class has this function:

    public CreativeTabs[] getCreativeTabs()
    {
        return new CreativeTabs[]{ getCreativeTab() };
    }

 

The block class does NOT have this function.  How do I get a block into more than one creative tab?

And no, calling setCreativeTab(...) twice is not going to work, that function looks like this:

    public Block setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs par1CreativeTabs)
    {
        this.displayOnCreativeTab = par1CreativeTabs;
        return this;
    }

 

So the second call will just overwrite the first.

You'll need a custom ItemBlock so you can override

getCreativeTabs

.

That probably isn't worth the effort.

 

It's not that important, it just would have been "nice" that this one block would be in both the redstone tab and in my custom tab.  But for one or two blocks I'm not going to go to that much effort.
