In Minecraft, giving names to animals isn’t just for fun—it’s a cool way to keep track of your farm animals or pets. So, how exactly do you name animals in Minecraft? Let’s dive in and find out.

Short and Sweet: Naming Your Minecraft Animals

To name animals in Minecraft, you’ll need a name tag. Name tags are special items that allow you to name any animal or mob in the game.

First up, you’ll need to find a name tag, which you can discover in treasure chests, by fishing, or by trading with villagers. Once you have your name tag, you’ll need an anvil. Place the name tag in the anvil, type in your chosen name, and then take the name tag out. Now, you just have to right-click on your animal with the name tag, and voilà! Your animal now has a name.
