Many Tabs - Inventor's Table Mod Tab

Converts the first tab of the Inventor's Table to only be vanilla crafting stations, while offloading all modded stations onto the second tab.

This is mod I created entirely out of personal preference. I wanted to to something similar to the Inventor's Table Vanilla Tab mod, but with the first tab being the vanilla crafting stations, while the second tab contains all the modded ones. It turns out, this is actually a lot more complicated to do than you might think. The specifics are detailed in the technical section below, but it's safe to say that I managed it.

This one was an interesting one to figure out. Technically speaking, this is actually two separate mod files. Using SteamCMD, I was able to upload two .pak files in the same mod. This is a good thing, because it means I can avoid splitting the mod into two parts like Handcrafting Expansion and Many Tabs itself are.

In Part One, we patch in the new "mods" tab, complete with it's own custom icon. This mod tab uses the default "all" group to display all available crafting tables - this is the same group that the first tab uses, which we plan to replace. This first part of the process is detailed on Many Tabs (Part One) if you would like to read more about it.

The second half is a little bit more tricky. Using the metadata file's priority option, I made sure the second half loads long after Many Tabs has finished being set up. From there, it patches all of the vanilla tables to use a custom group (which replaces their "all" group), and applies that new group to the original tab, effectively moving its functionality.

It's been over three years since I made this mod, so I'm not exactly sure why I had to do it like this, but I believe part two needed to load after a certain point, while part one needed to load before.

• All of you incredible people using my mods. Thank you so much. It means the world to me.
