I have item in my creative tab that I made but they are in a random order. How can I set the order that I want the items in the creative tab?

Override

CreativeTabs#displayAllRelevantItems

to call the super method and then sort the list.

How do I start the list?

no, you call the super method to get the list (dont creat you own, this will crash in multiplayer if you mod is only installed in single player) Then use a comparator to actualy sort them. Look at the javadoc from the java.util.List if you dont know how to use them.

What super method do you call im confused

What super method do you call im confused

 

"The super method" means the method of the super class that the current method overrides.

Ok the method i refered to dont exists anymore. But maybe you can use displayAllRelevantItems. Overwrite the methode in you own tab. Call first the super method after that all your items will be in the list. and then sort the list.

Re order them in the order you would like. If this helped, give me a smite. (you know you want to)

I already have them in order in my class that doesnt help

Have you tried to create a new world ? If not, just try it and check if they are sorted as you wich.

What he should reorder would be the registry order, but doing it in the list would be better(less work).

Did you make sure to add the:

Item item = (new ItemBucket(Blocks.AIR)).setUnlocalizedName("bucket").setMaxStackSize(16);

 

 

?

Why should he add an useles empty bucket ?!

That "Useless" bucket makes it so lava and water bucket recipes don't consume the bucket.

-It only looks useless, I don't blame you.

I started a new world and now all my items in all my tabs are in the order that I want. Thank you all!
