Last updated
Ever wondered how to give your Minecraft pet or any mob a cool name? We’ve got just the fun tip you need!
Today, we’re diving into how to use a name tag in Minecraft. It’s a neat feature you’ll love.
Short and Sweet: Using Name Tags
First things first, you need a name tag. You can’t make them, so you have to find them. Look in dungeons, chests, or go fishing to snatch one up.
Once you have it, you need an anvil. Place the name tag in the anvil and type the name you want. Now, just click on your pet or any mob with the named tag, and voilà! They have a name!
Why Name Your Minecraft Mobs?
Naming your Minecraft buddies isn’t just for fun. It also stops them from disappearing. That’s right, named mobs don’t despawn, making sure your favorite friends stay around.
Imagine creating an epic castle and having a trusty sidekick named Sir Barks-a-lot guarding the entrance. Names can add that extra layer of immersion and storytelling to your Minecraft world.
