Name Tag (Craft & Drops)

This mod adds two useful features related to name tags for renaming creatures in Minecraft.

Crafting Name Tags

You can now create name tags directly in the game! This requires only 1 string and 2 pieces of paper. The recipe is shapeless - meaning ingredients can be arranged in the crafting grid in any order.

Name Tags Dropping from Killed Entities

When you kill a creature that had a name tag with a custom name, that name tag drops as an item. This allows you to reuse name tags that you've already applied to mobs.

However, to prevent potential duplication issues, the following creatures will not drop name tags when killed:

• Axolotl
• Cod
• Magma cube
• Slime
• Tadpole
• Tropical fish
