ItemGroup - Prototype Docs

ItemGroup - 'item-group' Example code

An item group. Item groups are the tabs shown above the list of craftable items in the player's inventory GUI. The built-in groups are "logistics", "production", "intermediate-products" and "combat" but mods can define their own.

Items are sorted into item groups by sorting them into a subgroup which then belongs to an item group.
