Craftable Name Tag [FORGE, NEOFORGE]
by Alexio12pro
Craftable Name Tag lets players make Name Tags with a shapeless recipe of one paper and one string, which the vanilla game does not offer.
What it does
Name Tags are normally found in dungeon chests or traded by villagers, so a player who has not found one can be stuck without a way to rename mobs. The mod adds a simple crafting recipe that uses one Paper and one String, and the recipe works in any spot of the crafting grid because it is shapeless. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 with version 1.0.0 as the latest file. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Shapeless Name Tag recipe
A Name Tag is crafted from one Paper and one String placed anywhere on the crafting grid.
No chest or trade needed
Players no longer depend on dungeon loot or villager trades to obtain a Name Tag.
Datapack-based recipe
The recipe is a datapack entry, so it can be changed or removed like other vanilla recipes.
