Last updated
Wondering how to give your trusty steed a name in Minecraft? It’s quite simple, and it adds a fun, personal touch to your adventures in this massive sandbox world. Naming your horse can make your gameplay even more enjoyable, so let’s dive into the easy steps to do it!
So, how exactly do you name horses in Minecraft? We’re here to break it down for you, so you can start calling your horse something cooler than ‘Hey, you!’ in no time.
Quick Answer: Use a Name Tag!
The key to naming your horse lies in a handy little item called a Name Tag. First off, you’ll need to find one since you can’t just craft it. Try fishing, trading with villagers, or exploring dungeons and mineshafts to get your hands on a Name Tag.
Once you have a Name Tag, you’ll need to use an anvil. Place the Name Tag in the anvil, and you’ll see a field where you can type in your horse’s new name. After you’ve typed in the perfect name, just pick up the Name Tag, approach your horse, and right-click on it (or tap on it if you’re playing on a mobile device or console). Voila! Your horse now has a name.
