Name Tag Upgrade gives name tags the improvements they have always deserved. 🏷️ Rename them instantly from your hotbar, no anvil and no experience cost required.
A handy edit screen lets you change names on the fly simply by using the item, making mob naming faster and far more convenient. Want colorful or stylized text? The editor supports formatting codes, allowing custom colors, bold text, italics, and more. ✨
Beyond easier renaming, Name Tag Upgrade also improves how named mobs and name tags behave, making every tag feel more useful and less wasteful.
- 🏷️ Instant Name Tag Editing: Rename name tags directly and on the go from a dedicated screen without anvils or experience costs.
- ✨ Formatting Support: Use formatting codes to add colors, bold text, italics, and other styling to names.
- ♻️ No More Wasted Name Tags: Using a tag with an identical name will no longer consume it.
- ✂️ Remove Custom Names: Use shears on named mobs to remove their custom name and recover the matching name tag.
- 💀 Named Mob Drops: Named mobs can drop their name tag when they die, preserving custom names.
- 🔁 Return Old Name Tags: Renaming an already named mob returns the previous name tag instead of deleting it.
- 🔊 Extra Feedback: Applying a name tag plays a satisfying sound effect.
