When writing a small peripheral mod, I'd like my peripherals to appear on the same creative tab as all other cc items. So, I would like to see a method like ComputerCraftAPI.getCreativeTab, as I currently have to use reflection...

I think this would be really good, as some peripheral authors started making their own tabs, which would spam the creative menu.

Why do you need reflection? The getCreativeTab() method (or is it just a data member, don't remember) is declared public in ComputerCraft.class . I just had to compile it against ComputerCraft as a library. Nevertheless, it would be good that this would b accessible in the API. That's what the API is made for, right? Easy access to helpful methods.

I plan to expose this when I add a new API soon. Although you can probably access it through the CreativeTabs object right now by checking against the name.

I checked again, and if you don't mind linking against ComputerCraft as a library, you can access it as 'ComputerCraft.ccTab' . Of course, if you could do it Cloudy's way, it keeps your mod version compatible.

I'm using Orwells solution now, as I have a deobfuscated version of ComputerCraft for debugging anyway.
