Direct row and column Parameters for ItemGroup in Fabric API

[FrQuentin]

Currently, the ItemGroup in Fabric API does not provide row and column parameters, which limits our ability to position custom item groups effectively on the inventory bar. This request is for the direct addition of these parameters to the ItemGroup constructor or methods, allowing modders to easily specify their desired positions on the inventory screen.

Hi request the addition of row and column parameters directly to the ItemGroup class or constructor in Fabric API. This feature would provide a straightforward way to place custom item groups on the inventory bar, enhancing modders' ability to organize inventory content more effectively without relying on workarounds such as mixin usage.

As you can see, it's private.

Benefits:

• Simplified Item Group Placement: By directly setting row and column values, developers can more easily manage the layout of item groups on the inventory screen.

• Consistency with Vanilla Behavior: Aligning with vanilla item group positioning would improve the user experience, making it easier for players to navigate custom content in mods.

• Enhanced Modding Flexibility: This change would reduce the need for complex, non-standard solutions and make modding more intuitive.

Thank you for considering this enhancement request.

Hi, I'm not sure this is possible as we currently dyanmicaly assign the page, row and column here: https://github.com/FabricMC/fabric/blob/1.21.4/fabric-item-group-api-v1/src/main/java/net/fabricmc/fabric/mixin/itemgroup/ItemGroupsMixin.java#L101-L102

Im not sure how this could ever work alongside other mods.
