We all know the multi-player menu. We all know that it is a giant list of servers we
like to go on,but why have all of these fun servers when it is really hard to navigate through it? Trying to find a server in my list of junk is like trying to find a needle in the hay stack. There is one object you are searching for but many others around it, making it harder to find that one object you are looking for. For some time, my multi-player menu got more cluttered as i added a new server ever so often. Not to mention that the size that one server takes up in that menu is huge, and which it makes it even more difficult to find that one server you are looking for, but with what i am about to suggest, size doesn't matter. I just feel like navigating through it is very tedious. Constantly having to move up and down to find the right server i want to join is really tedious when were i could just be pressing a simple button to play on the server i want. Now, there is one small solution to this which click on a server, then do [shift] + [up] which moves the position of the server in the list. That is great and all but doesn't solve the problem of the actual length and the clutter of the list. It just moves things around. The length of the list doesn't change, the grouping of the list doesn't change when you just move the servers. You need to be able to virtually group them somehow. I propose a "tab system."
A tab, in this sense, is like a folder because you use these to store your servers
in them. With the new tab system for multi-player, the system is the file cabinet and the tabs are the folders that go into the file cabinet.
A tab is also a space for your servers to be held and be grouped as how you want them to be grouped. You can group anything with tabs. If you like organizing, then you will like tabs.
There are two ways to make a tab. The first way is the easiest way and the most
prefered, but if you like the other way, do as you please. So the first way is to press on the "create tab" button which is represented by the [+] button in the photo below. After you press on that, you are prompted for a tab name. Press create, and now you got your self a blank tab.
The second way can be more understandable if you refer to here.
Basically, the second way of creating a tab makes you go into the .minecraft
folder. Please press the 'here' up above for this will make a ton more sense if you do so. So, going onto how to make one in the .minecraft. In the new servers folder, you create a new file and name that file what ever you want. Open the file you just created and add a text document to it called 'ips'. In that text document, list the server ips you would like to be added to the tab you just created. Break up each individual ip with a new line. This way is not as simple as the first way on creating a tab, but it is still a way to create a tab.
Tabs are areas in your multi-player menu that you use to store minecraft servers
in, in which it make it easier to organize your servers in a grouping fashion. Tabs can do all sorts of stuff. You can group tabs in tabs, you can group different kinds of servers in tabs, and you can group them as you please. How ever you organize, that is what the tab does.
A cool feature about tabs is that you can have as many tabs as you want, so this
means unlimited organization possibilities.
Once again, they make it easier for you to organize all your servers you have.
There are multiple servers of super craft brothers in my menu. It's really hard to handle them and find the specific one i want to go on. With tabs, i can have a separate tab for super craft brothers and put all my super craft brothers servers in there. Then, I organize my other servers by putting my survival servers in a "survival server" tab. Now i have some of my servers separated from one an other, and now it's starting to look less like a jumbled mess. I can organize how ever i want because you can put what ever server(s) you want in these tabs. There is no limit on creating tabs or what you can do with them.
seeing how tab-ception can help even more, i suggest that the tabs can now be made infinatly inside of each other for how ever you want to organize things.
Well, it doesn't have to be exclusive to the multi-player menu. I have gotten many
suggestions for this to be a feature of single player and basically anything that can be listed. It would be cool to see this for organizing your multi-player, your single player worlds, and possibly resource packs. I guess it;s not just the multi-player world that is unorganized, but more of everything is unorganized. I never realized anything about the single player worlds until i was actually told that this feature would help a ton with organizing the single player worlds. I have never noticed it because i don't have a ton of worlds that i play on, but since i realize this now, i think mostly the multi-player and the single player menus should get an over haul. (maybe resource packs too).
It would pretty much work like the multi-player menu, but instead of storing
servers, it stores your single player worlds. Basically, you create a tab and now you can put single player worlds in these tabs, but i already see a flaw in this type of system.
"What if my single player world is accidentally in the wrong tab?"
Well, they will now be a 'drag & drop' type item. You hold click on the world that is
in the wrong section and drag and drop it to the right section (This will also be a thing for anything that uses the tab system).
The uses for this in single player is good. Having soo many single player worlds to
manage is really hard and can get quite annoying for having a huge list of worlds. I can already see what alot of people would make with these tabs. [T] describes tab and [W] describes world.
[T]Survival Worlds:

And so on. What ever you want is what you can have.
Of course with a little bit of coding but what really matters is the placement of the folders in the .minecraft. i made this special video to get my point out.
Sorry if the commentary isn't the best. I tried my best because i really want this to be added. If you are tired of crappy looking, unorganized multiplayer menus, like this and post.

[~]: make a vid for tab-ception. [~]: make a vid for resource packs. [~]: Think of more ideas on how to improve the post. [~]: minor fixes to grammar and BBcode. [~]: fix some layout of the post. [~]: make mod. [~]: update photos and make more photos. [~]: work on new title banner. [~]: adding pictures to your tabs. [~]: possibly make a gallery.
Due to the website changes, the supporters list got messed up! i do not plan to fix it in the future
If any one could make a mod for this, i would really like it if you could.
pm me for more detail and if you want to sign up for the job of creating this into a mod.
Note: i dont pay so you will be wanting to do this at your own expense.
I give support, because you simply have too many servers, like survival, creative, Hunger Games, PVP, minigames etc.

I hate people who complain. I hate spiders. I hate people who own an Xbox One. I hate people who like sandbox games. I hate people who like first person shooters. I hate people who like explosions. I hate people who like video games. I hate people who are hateful. I hate people that don't like spam. I hate people who like cake. I hate people who type in proper grammar and spell words properly on the internet. I hate hypocrites.
This is very useful for someone who has more servers of the same 'type'. I definitely support this. It would help people a ton when searching for a server!
Howdy folks,Being a person who like to organise stuff and being able to find links quickly rather then trying lots of different folders, I think this is a good idea.
I could see the current system being updated like this. All the tabs on the left side, and more Server info on a "Server page" that pops up when you click on the tab, that has a lot of server info. Like, For instance, say the server has the Precious Stones Plugin. that info pops up on the page, along with a list of Plugins that the Server Owners want you to see.

I suggest being able to put tabs in tabs, so for example I could have:
Supercraftbros

Survival games
more example

you get the point
