Can you pretty please with a cherry on top make a config option to either remove the hides or put them in the vanilla creative tab? I have OCD, and when I play mods I can't have any extra creative tabs. Please make a config option for this, because on the surface having a really cool simple bear mod sounded amazing, then I realized there is an entire creative tab for four pieces of hide.

Maybe you could use a mod like this? Artisan's Tabs
It would also presumably work with other mod's so you wouldn't need to worry about other mods that add tabs :)
