# Creating a Config Category

{% hint style="info" %}
Category Tabs are shown **ONLY** when you have more than 1 category.
{% endhint %}

You can create a new category by calling `getOrCreateCategory` with the builder:

```java
[...]
ConfigCategory general = builder.getOrCreateCategory(new TranslatableText("category.examplemod.general"));
```

{% hint style="success" %}
The category name will be **ignored** if you only have 1 category created, which means that you can choose to put a dummy placeholder into the category name instead of giving the category an actual name.
{% endhint %}
