To have your ItemGroup properly show up in the creative menu, use the FabricItemGroupBuilder to create them:

public class ExampleMod implements ModInitializer {
 
    public static final ItemGroup ITEM_GROUP = FabricItemGroupBuilder.build(
        new Identifier("tutorial", "general"),
        () -> new ItemStack(Blocks.COBBLESTONE));
 
    public static final ItemGroup OTHER_GROUP = FabricItemGroupBuilder.create(
        new Identifier("tutorial", "other"))
        .icon(() -> new ItemStack(Items.BOWL))
        .build();
    // ...
}

Make sure you replace the arguments ¹⁾ you pass to the Identifier constructor with your actual mod ID and the translation key you want to give your item group for localization ²⁾ later on.

When creating a custom Item, call Item.Settings#method_7892 on your settings and pass in your custom group:

public static final Item YOUR_ITEM = new Item(new Item.Settings().method_7892(ExampleMod.ITEM_GROUP));

Call FabricItemGroupBuilder#appendItems and pass any Consumer<List<ItemStack>>. You can then add whatever stacks you want to the given list in some order. ItemStack.EMPTY can be used to place empty spaces in your group.

public class ExampleMod implements ModInitializer {
 
    public static final ItemGroup ITEM_GROUP = FabricItemGroupBuilder.build(
        new Identifier("tutorial", "general"),
        () -> new ItemStack(Blocks.COBBLESTONE));
 
    public static final ItemGroup OTHER_GROUP = FabricItemGroupBuilder.create(
        new Identifier("tutorial", "other"))
        .icon(() -> new ItemStack(Items.BOWL))
        .appendItems(stacks -> {
            stacks.add(new ItemStack(Blocks.BONE_BLOCK));
            stacks.add(new ItemStack(Items.APPLE));
            stacks.add(PotionUtil.setPotion(new ItemStack(Items.POTION), Potions.WATER));
            stacks.add(ItemStack.EMPTY);
            stacks.add(new ItemStack(Items.IRON_SHOVEL));
        })
        .build();
    // ...
}
