Hey,
The title says it all, I'm working on a peripheral, and as my mod only adds one block, I'd like to be able to add it to CC's creative tab. I searched for a few hours now, can't find a way to get the CreativeTab from another mod. Any help here please ?
Thanks

you could use reflection to get it from out of ComputerCraft, that's a little more complicated than needed however, because Minecraft doesn't make the array of CreativeTabs private, and ComputerCraft's tab isn't translated, so we can just search for it that way

public CreativeTabs findCCTab() {
  for (CreativeTabs tab : CreativeTabs.creativeTabArray) {
	if (tab.getTabLabel().equals("ComputerCraft")) {
	  return tab;
	}
  }
  throw new IllegalStateException("ComputerCraft creative tab couldn't be found. Where is it?");
}

neither did I. so I looked in the source and it was public. its amazing what can be learnt by looking into source
