RefinedCreativeInventory: Hotbar Profiles and Menu Customization

A RefinedCreativeInventory guide. Covers RefinedCreativeInventory 0.1.2 on Minecraft 1.19.2.

RefinedCreativeInventory replaces the standard creative menu with a structured workspace designed for rapid construction and testing. The hotbar system is expanded beyond default limits into organized profiles where players can assemble and preserve multiple equipment loadouts. Within each profile, builders can nominate active hotbars to swap between on the fly using the "Switch Hotbar Hotkey", or step through sequentially using the "Next Hotbar Hotkey" and "Previous Hotbar Hotkey". Clicking and dragging items directly inside the profile window configures tool arrangements, while plus icons allow the creation of additional rows for specialized block palettes. For builders who prefer immediate visibility without navigating menus, enabling "Always Display Hotbar" docks the saved hotbar panel permanently along the right edge of the screen.

Tab filtering and advanced search strings

Navigating expansive block catalogs is enhanced through query syntax and customizable categories. Through the "Search String" bar, builders can isolate components using structured prefixes such as name, tag, and group queries. Engaging "Basic Search" activates a simplified parser that accepts plain language queries and custom classification markers, whereas disabling it allows complex search queries. Builders can define their own catalog groupings by populating "Custom Flags" on selected items, tagging specific palettes like roofing or foliage for instant recall. If a vanilla creative layout is ever required for reference, the "Open Vanilla" button provides an immediate detour back to the unmodded menu.

Interface styling and layout geometry

The visual appearance of the creative screen can be adjusted to match personal themes or interface contrast requirements. Players can alter the entire aesthetic through dedicated color pickers, adjusting "Background Color" for the main panel and "Foreground Color" for active compartments. Edge definition can be sharpened by tuning the "Foreground Outline" across distinct sections, alongside "Slot Outline" highlights around individual item containers. Workspace accessibility is further refined through "Always Display Inventory", which anchors the survival player inventory alongside creative tabs to expedite personal inventory sorting and item disposal.
