stairsplus items hidden in creative inventory

[daufinsyd]

All the stairsplus items are hidden in the inventory (I found the following line in config.lua )

-- Show stairs/slabs/panels/microblocks in creative inventory (true or false): setting("bool", "stairsplus_in_creative_inventory", false)

Is there any specific reason for hidding it ? It's a pain to build in creative mode without stairs, slabs ... already crafted. Otherwise it would be great to turn this to true.

Edit : related #119

Perhaps a slash command would work to configure it?

Actually it displays all stairsplus items (not only stairs and slabs)

I was about to open an issue for the same reason. Pretty annoying actually. I wish the mod would not mess with the normal stairs.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention :smiley:

Stairs+ nodes were hidden because they take up a lot of space in the creative inventory, which made it more difficult to browse.

If this is desired, I can display them in the creative inventory by default (I presume most people are using the search field to find items anyway).

In my opinion the best would be not hiding the stairs mod stairs but only your own objects. Having to use the saw in creative to just get some normal stairs is not the best way.

Yeah, this is actually a deal-breaker for me. I do use the search to find the right sort of node that I'm looking for in the creative Unified Inventory anyway, so it would be nice to display the stairs in the search interface for this reason.
