DatapacksJava
Name Tag Mobs To Be Friends
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.
A Very Basic Datapack that lets players name hostile or neutral mobs "friend" to turn them passive towards players.
Useful for roleplay, companionship, or adding life to builds without endangering players.
- Mobs can be renamed without becoming hostile.
- Removes items from the friended mob's hands.
- Prevents friended mobs from burning in sunlight or being zombified.
- Bosses cannot be converted.
- Friended mobs do not drop anything.
This system works using Minecraft's team commands.
