Adding items deprecated

DANGER

The following codes are just examples. They will throw exceptions on the server. You should ensure that Filters API codes are executed only on the client.

TIP

The tab that has filters will display categorized items only, except that you have registered uncategorized filter.

Call Filter.addItems(Item...) after registering items to add them to the filter.

Fabric

public static void registerItem(String path, Item item, Filter filter) {
    [...]
    filter.addItems(item);
}

Forge

TIP

You should add items to filters after ITEMS.register() is called.

public static final DeferredRegisterHolder<Item> ITEMS = new DeferredRegisterHolder<>(MOD_ID, Registry.ITEM_REGISTRY);
public static final ArrayList<Tuple<Filter, Item>> FILTER_ITEMS = new ArrayList<>();

public MainForge() {
    [...]
    ITEMS.register();
}

public static void registerItem(String path, Item item, Filter filter) {
    [...]
    FILTER_ITEMS.add(new Tuple<>(filter, item));
}

@SubscribeEvent
public static void onClientSetupEvent(FMLClientSetupEvent event) {
    [...]
    // initialize filters
    FILTER_ITEMS.forEach(tuple -> tuple.getA().addItems(tuple.getB()));
}

Congratulations! Now you can find filters when opening the creative mode tab.
