Simple Creative Menu allows for a smoother experience when opening the Minecraft Creative screen. Normally, when you'd open the inventory with the search tab open, it would auto focus the search box. This is (in theory) the ONLY inventory by default where hitting the inventory button, doesn't close the menu. Then when you select an item, it would highlight the entire box thus making the next key press potentially replace the entire search.

Instead, this tunes the search box to be unfocusable as well as not auto focused on open. That means using something like JEI should be simpler without having to worry about which tab you are in, in the creative menu!  Simply click in the search box when you wish to search for something. You can also `Right Click` to clear the search just like JEI! It may not seem like much, but the quality of life is night and day in my opinion!

Simple Creative Menu was inspired by Mezz (author of JEI) when he inadvertently broke creative searching to show no items for a single version of JEI. When talking to him about the bug the topic of "why were you using the creative search to start with?" came up and it dawned on me that the search box was just the default focused element in the window.
