Curios Creative Supplement
Equip any valid Curios item into any Curios slot without owning it. Works in creative mode by default, and can be opened up to operators or all players in survival.
Click a slot, search for an item, click it, done. No more digging through creative tabs, grabbing an item and shift-clicking it into place just to test a curio or set up a build.
Features
- Searchable item picker for every Curios slot, cosmetic slots included. Filter by name or item id.
- Mod filter to browse one mod's items at a time, or everything at once.
- Only valid items are listed, using Curios' own slot and tag checks.
- Your inventory is never touched. Equipped items are copies, and clearing a slot just deletes the copy.
- Server-authoritative. Permissions, slot validity, equip rules, Curse of Binding and the blacklist are all checked on the server.
- Modpack friendly. Items are scanned in small time slices, so opening the picker doesn't stutter even with thousands of items.
- Operator controls through an in-game settings screen. Changes apply instantly and sync to every player.
- No mixins, so it stays compatible with other UI mods.
How to use
Open your Curios inventory, then:
- Left-click a slot to open the picker for it
- Right-click a filled slot to delete its item
- Shift-click, or click while holding an item, for normal Curios behaviour
- Use the settings button at the top-right of the Curios panel, or Mods → Config, to change settings
Who can use it
- Creative Only (default): players in creative mode
- Creative + Survival-Op: creative players, plus operators in any game mode
- All: everyone, including survival players
You can also bypass canEquip restrictions, bypass Curse of Binding, or blacklist specific items in config/curioscreative-common.toml.
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.20.1
- Forge 47.1.0 or newer
- Curios API 5.4.0 or newer
- Optional: Controllable for controller shortcuts (experimental)
On servers, install it on both the server and all clients.
Controller support
The picker and settings screens use standard widgets, so Controllable's normal navigation works in them. With the optional compat layer, the button shortcuts are:
| Action | Xbox | PlayStation |
|---|---|---|
| Change page | Bumpers (LB / RB) | Bumpers (L1 / R1) |
| Cycle mod filter | Y | Triangle |
| Close picker / screen | B | Circle |
| Open settings | Rebindable | Rebindable |
