Saro´s Creative Tab
Every seasoned Minecraft builder eventually hits the same wall: the vanilla creative inventory refuses to hand over the Command Block, the Barrier, or a handful of other developer-grade items. Saro´s Creative Tab solves that problem in the most elegant way possible. This lightweight add-on drops a dedicated tab straight into your creative menu, putting the tools you actually need within a single click. Whether you are prototyping redstone contraptions, designing adventure maps, or running a busy server, this mod removes the busywork and lets you focus on building.
What Saro´s Creative Tab Actually Does
At its core, the mod adds a new tab labeled "Saros Creative Tab" to the creative inventory. Inside, you will find essential vanilla items that Mojang hides from the default menu, most notably the Command Block and the Barrier. No more hunting through obscure workarounds or typing long give commands just to place a single invisible wall.
For version 1.20.1 and above, the mod evolves into something far more ambitious. The Dynamic Custom Tab Management System transforms it from a simple convenience into a full server administration toolkit.
Dynamic Tab Creation and Management
Server administrators can now create unlimited custom creative tabs, each with its own unique name and icon. Every tab is managed entirely through intuitive in-game commands, so you never need to touch a config file unless you want to.
- Create and delete tabs: Use /customtab create and /customtab delete to spin up or remove tabs on the fly.
- Organize items: Add, remove, and list items with /customtab add, /customtab remove, and /customtab items.
- Customize appearance: Rename tabs or swap icons using /customtab rename and /customtab seticon.
- Control access: Set per-tab or global permissions with /customtab setpermission.
- Persistent storage: Custom tabs are saved and survive server restarts, so your setup never disappears.
Permission Levels Explained
The permission system gives server owners granular control over who can modify tabs. Four levels are available: EVERYONE, OP_LEVEL_2, OP_LEVEL_3, and OP_LEVEL_4. By default, tab modification is open to all players while tab creation and deletion require operator level 2 or higher. You can adjust these globally in the config file or per-tab using commands, making it easy to delegate tab management to trusted staff without handing over full server access.
One important note: changes to tabs require rejoining the world before they appear in the creative inventory. It is a small quirk, but worth remembering when you are setting things up for the first time.
Supported Versions and Loaders
Saro´s Creative Tab supports a broad range of Minecraft versions, which is rare for a mod of this scope. The Dynamic Custom Tab Management System is available on 1.21.1 and 1.20.1 across Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge. Older versions including 1.19.4, 1.19.2, 1.18.2, and 1.16.5 receive the original custom tab functionality. Port requests are welcome, and the community remains active on Discord.
How to Install Saro´s Creative Tab for Minecraft

If you prefer a frictionless setup, the foxygame.net launcher bundles Saro´s Creative Tab directly into its add-on catalog, letting you enable the mod with a single click and keeping it updated automatically whenever a new build ships.
Why Builders Keep Coming Back
What makes this mod stand out is its dual personality. For casual players, it is a quick shortcut to hidden items. For server administrators, it is a flexible framework for organizing creative resources across an entire community. The command-based approach means you can build a curated tab of decorative blocks for your build team, a tab of redstone components for engineers, or a tab of command utilities for map makers, all without editing a single line of code.
The persistent storage and server synchronization ensure every player sees the same tabs, eliminating confusion and keeping your creative workflow consistent. Combined with configurable permissions and reload commands, it scales from a solo world to a large multiplayer server without breaking a sweat.
