How to Craft a Name Tag in Minecraft

Ever wondered how you can give your favorite Minecraft pet a name? Or maybe label a villager or creature for easy identification? You’re probably asking, ‘How do I craft a name tag in Minecraft?’

Let’s dive right into answering that question, making it super simple for you to start naming your Minecraft buddies!

Can You Craft a Name Tag?

Short answer: No, you cannot craft a name tag in Minecraft. Unlike many items in the game, name tags don’t have a crafting recipe.

But don’t worry! Even though you can’t craft them, there are still ways to get your hands on name tags in the game. You can find them in treasure chests, fish them out using a fishing rod, trade with a librarian villager, or explore dungeons and mineshafts.

Getting Name Tags Without Crafting

Fishing is a relaxing way to possibly snag yourself a name tag along with some fish. It can take a little patience, but it’s worth a shot. Treasure chests scattered across Minecraft’s vast world, especially in dungeons, temples, or woodland mansions, often contain name tags. If you have an emerald to spare, trading with a librarian villager is a straightforward method to get a name tag. Lastly, adventuring into dungeons and mineshafts can reward you with name tags among other loot.

Remember, once you have a name tag, you’ll need an anvil to use it. Place the name tag in the anvil, type the name you desire, and then attach it to your pet or villager. Voila! You’ve just named your first Minecraft buddy.
