How to Create a Name Tag in Minecraft
Last updated
Ever wondered how to label your pet wolf or a friendly skeleton horse in Minecraft? The answer lies in creating a name tag.
Let’s dive into how you can create a name tag in the blocky world of Minecraft.
Short and Sweet: Getting a Name Tag
To put it simply, you can’t create a name tag from scratch in Minecraft. Instead, you find them as treasures!
Name tags aren’t something you craft on a crafting table. They’re rare items you have to discover while adventuring. You can find them in dungeon chests, by fishing, trading with villagers, or exploring mineshafts and woodland mansions.
Finding Name Tags: Your Adventure Awaits
Since you can’t make a name tag, your adventure to find one becomes an exciting quest. Dungeon chests hidden deep beneath the surface or in the dark corners of a woodland mansion hold the potential for this rare find. Alternatively, a lucky fishing trip might snag you this coveted item. And if you’ve gathered enough emeralds, village librarians offer name tags as trade items.
Once you have your name tag, don’t forget to use an anvil to name it, and then apply it to your favorite pet or mob.
