Creative Inventory Category Comparison
GUI
The number of blocks and items that can be viewed at a single time in the Creative inventory varies between platforms and versions as follows:
| Version | GUI size (width x height = total) |
|---|---|
| Java 12w21b+ | 9 x 5 = 45 |
| Java 12w21a- | 8 x 9 = 72 |
| Bedrock 1.2.0+ (Windows 10) | 17 x 6 = 102 |
| Bedrock 1.1.7- (Windows 10) | 8 x 6 = 48 |
| Legacy Console Edition since TU14 | 10 x 5 = 50 |
| Legacy Console Edition before TU14 | 11 x 5 = 55 |
| New Nintendo 3DS Edition | 8 x 3 = 24 |
| Java Edition Recipe Book (crafting) | 5 x 4 = 20 |
| Bedrock Edition Recipe Book (crafting) | 7 x 6 = 42 |
| Legacy Console Edition Recipe Book (crafting) | 12 x 1 = 12 |
| New Nintendo 3DS Edition Recipe Book (crafting) | 8 x 3 = 24 |
On Legacy Console, the crafting screen can show up to 3 items vertically for one specific item when an item is selected and has multiple items within its selection. On Bedrock Windows 10 edition since the Better Together Update, almost a 7th row can be viewed in both the Creative and crafting menus, but it is not the whole 7th row.
List of Categories
Some blocks and items that aren't in older updates, or are unobtainable, have been assigned a category even if it wasn't in the Creative inventory in said update or edition. Those listed individually are marked as "extrapolated" as such. Only those in Java Edition's 1.19.3+ Operator Utilities tab, are not assigned a category. Note that the historical Materials and Miscellaneous tabs on Java Edition, that were only separate tabs up until to 17w06a, are treated separately through, and up to, 1.19.2; for easier comparison. Note that redstone variants that are duplicated in Java 1.19.3+ are not shown if it is not applicable to every single variant of their respective types.
Java Edition also has separate recipe books for the furnace, blast furnace, and smoker. Food, materials/ingredients, and building/decoration/colored/natural/redstone blocks are the approximate tabs compared to the Java Edition Creative inventory. Stonecutters also have a block selection menu that show all craftable blocks on Legacy Console, and only craftable blocks on Java and Bedrock. Note that since not all items in the Creative inventory are craftable, recipe book tabs are currently not listed in the full detailed comparison, although it might be listed later, which will mean all items need to be assigned tabs.
The crafting recipe book on Bedrock Edition is exactly the same as its Creative inventory, but only containing craftable items. On Java Edition, it correlates to certain tabs in the pre 1.19.3 Creative inventory.

This is due to it not being applicable for all variants of their block type.
