[1.12.2] Organized Creative Tabs

[InternalCow]

Hello, I would like to know how to organize a creative tab. Thank you!

Define "organize". Do you mean change the order of things in the tab? By default they are arranged in their registry order. You can use custom sorters by overriding CreativeTabs#displayAllRelevantItems and performing sorting on the list you get as a parameter. Obviously only do that once the list is populated with items(after the super invocation)

I want to order than in a certain way, for example Ingot - Ore / Ingot - Ore

Alternatively don't let the base implementation take care of the list for you and populate it manually in that method with your desired items in your desired order.

Okay, can you please show an example while I try to figure it out on my own? I'm a visual learner.

An example of what? Overriding a method? Adding things to a list? Invoking List#sort? This is all basic java.

Well of course I know how to override a method, and add things to a list.  I guess just give me some time.
