Spawn Eggs in own Creative Tab?? - 1.12.2

[UM3 F0R TH3 W1N]

Hello fellow modders, I have recently created my first entity and realised that the spawn egg automatically gets put into the Miscellaneous Tab. I would like my spawn egg to be in my tab, however I couldn't find a way of doing this. I looked through some of the mc code and couldn't find anything, therefore I couldn't change it. Anyone know how I can get the spawn egg in my own tab. I was thinking of creating my own spawn egg for each of my mobs, but I've now realised that might be too complicated for my level of skill. If anyone could help me with getting the spawn egg into my tab I would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Im not sure, perhaps if you use the registerEgg method? I never used them in this way, but it sounds like that you can do it there.

This is pretty much the only option. Monster eggs exist as one single item with various NBT data that determines the mob spawned. As such it has one creative tab - the misc tab. As it is a singleton you can't change the creative tab of a specific monster egg without changing the creative tab of them all.

A hacky partial workaround is to override CreativeTabs#displayAllRelevantItems in your CreativeTab and manually add the spawn eggs you need to the tab items list. However this will require you to manually construct the correct NBT data of the egg and it won't remove the eggs from the misc creative tab.
