Convenient Name Tags
I don't know my version or loader
Have you ever wanted Name Tags to be just a little more Convenient?
Surprise - that's exactly what this mod does! It makes several improvements to the way Name Tags work.
Main Feature: Rename Name Tag Screen
After right clicking with a Name Tag in your main hand, you will be presented with a screen that allows you to rename the Name Tag without the use of an Anvil.
Other Features
- Added a crafting recipe for Name Tags
- Made renaming Villagers and Wandering Traders possible
- Renamed mobs now drop their Name Tags when you:
- kill them;
- apply another Name Tag to them;
- shift-right-click them with Shears.
