Quick Steps to Name Your Minecraft Animals
To name animals in Minecraft, you need an item called a Name Tag. You can’t craft a Name Tag, but you can find them in treasure chests, fish them up, or trade for them with librarian villagers. Once you have your Name Tag, you’ll also need an anvil.
Here’s what you do next: Place the Name Tag in the anvil, type the name you want for your animal, and voila! You’ve just named your animal. Then, approach the animal you wish to name, and use the Name Tag on it. The name will display above the animal whenever you’re close to it. Easy, right?
