Can someone help me on this? I have really worked hard to try and find a solution but to no avail.

I know it is extremely messy and some places can be changed but I am only looking for how to draw a tab behind the inventory GUI.

It depends on the order in which things are drawn, by default.

You can either draw the tab before everything else draws (the feasibility of this depends on where your draw method's called), trim the texture so that it doesn't poke past where it ought to (or the equivalent with u/v changes), or do some funny business with Gui#zLevel. Gui#drawTexturedModalRect() draws at the current zLevel, so you should be able to altar that value (and then reset it) if you're in the right situation (it's protected).

 

Also, if you're using Eclipse, Ctrl+Shift+F is your friend (code formatter). You can set it up in the preferences somewhere.
