Minecraft Name Tag Tweaks mod guide: Features and how to download

Name tags are a rare treasure item in Minecraft. Players can only obtain a name tag if they find one as a chest loot in certain structures like Mineshafts, Buried Treasures, Woodland Mansions, etc. When obtained, players need to place them on an anvil to apply a name to them. Finally, the name tag can be placed on any mob to give it a unique name.

Since Minecraft is based on Java, the community has created all kinds of mods for it. There is even a mod for name tags called Name Tag Tweaks. Here is everything to know about it.

Name Tag Tweaks is a mod made by a popular modder named Serilum. It is a fairly simple creation that adds three major features to the item: entities with name tags drop them upon death, a name tag crafting recipe, and naming the item through commands.

The first feature is quite straightforward. Mobs that already have a name tag on them will always drop the item back when they are killed. This means that players will not lose their name tags once they are placed on an entity.

The second feature is quite useful since name tags can sometimes be frustrating to find in Minecraft. This feature makes name tags craftable. Players can use two papers and one string to make the item.

Lastly, the mod adds a new command that allows players to name the name tag without an anvil. They can simply write this in the chatbox while holding the item to name it:

• /nametag {Name}
