New chest tabs:

Custom png icons (should also work with mod references ie modid:resourcelocation)

Instructions:

1. Go to your install: config/modtabs/icons (this folder structure will be created the first time you run the game with the mod installed) and add any png images you want. They should be 16x16 px

2. Go into the game, click and hold on the tab you want to swap icons for

3. In the opened edit menu, click the arrow in the left middle side of the screen. Click the custom icon dropdown and choose your new icon.

Tuck option:

Attention modpack developers, I've created a system to allow you to make custom tabs. Some mod packs add 3,4,5 tutorial books for various mods, my idea behind this feature is that you can add them as a tab instead, both for quick access and to free up inventory space. This feature is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL and may need my assistance for special integrations. Open an issue on github if something is broken. Theoretically this could be used to open any gui screen, though certain guis have specific requirements that may need a mod patch to get working.

Here is an example with Ars Nouveau's tutorial book.

My custom tabs come with full patchouli integration, as well as many other options. Visit the wiki for more information on possibilities and limitations https://github.com/morelandjo/ModTabs/wiki/Information-regarding-custom-tabs

This mod was originally created by legendary_workshop, under the name Legendary Tabs, for several versions of Forge and has been updated by vodmordia (me) to work with Neoforge under (at the time of fork) MIT license.
