How to get name tags in Minecraft easily

In Minecraft, players can use name tags to give mobs or pets names to make them never despawn, or to just give their pet a unique name. Players can tame animals, then use name tags to give them a name of their own instead of the original mob,

Players can find name tags pretty easily around the Minecraft world. Players can fish for name tags, but it is not likely that they will get one unless they use luck of the sea enchantment.

Unfortunately, name tags cannot be crafted in Minecraft. Players will not be able to gather materials to craft this item, it can only be obtained as a treasure item.

In order to give the mob a name using the name tag, players will need to use an anvil to give the tag its name first. Players will need to add the name tag to the left box in the anvil, type in the desired name in the name bar at the top, then the finished product will be on the right.

It will cost players one enchantment to name a tag. Players can get enchantment levels by slaying mobs around the minecraft world, or simply just mining.

In this article, players will learn how to get name tags easily inside of Minecraft!

Fishing is one of the common ways for players to find name tags in Minecraft. Players will need a fishing rod and a body of water to fish. Rods are created using one stick and one string.
