In Minecraft, giving names to items, pets, or any other entities is a creative way to make your mark in the vast world of blocks and adventures. Let’s dive into how you can start naming like a pro.
Quick Steps to Name Something in Minecraft
To name something in Minecraft, you’ll need an anvil. First, gather enough iron ingots to craft an anvil through your crafting table. Once you have your anvil set up, here’s what you do:
Place the item you want to name in the first slot of the anvil’s interface. Then, click on the bar above the item and type in your desired name. It costs experience points to name items, so make sure you have enough. Hit the name button, and voila! Your item now bears the name you chose.
