Item Name Recolorer

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.5–1.21.11 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.21.4 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.21.5–1.21.11 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.4 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.5–1.21.11 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.21.4 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.21.5–1.21.11 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.4 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.5–1.21.11 · Quilt⬇ Download for 1.21.4 · Quilt
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

How recoloring works

Very simple. Place a cauldron, and fill it with water to any level

Any item you want to change MUST be renamed hrough the anvil first. You can add a space at the end to maintain its current/default name.

Once you've renamed your item with an anvil, toss it right into the cauldron filled with water

Now it's time to select a color and/or format

Say you wanted a red item name; you'd then toss red dye into the same cauldron, wait a few seconds and your item's custom name should be red. Note that when you give the item a dye in the cauldron, it will reset all formatting (removes bold, italics, underline, etc.). So be sure to set the color first!

Blue dye gives you blue, white dye gives you white, etc.

Red Dye

How reformatting works

Same thing with coloring. Toss the item and its format item in a cauldron of water.

Here's a list of possible formats and their corresponding item.

Again, setting the color of an item will reset all formatting to default. Color first, formats second.

You can apply multiple formats, including all of them at once.

Here's an example:

Example

Custom RGB (Hex codes)

Let's say you want a fully red item name, the hex code for full red is FF 00 00.

Grab any paper item and rename it in the anvil as #FF0000.

You must have it start with # and no spacing. Finally, throw it in the cauldron with your item as if it were a dye and you can then get custom colors on your item.
