Easy Rename
by GravityIO
Easy Rename lets players name item frames and containers, and adds a config option for renaming them.
What it does
The mod lets a player rename containers such as chests and give item frames custom names, so a storage chest can be labeled without an anvil. It was made to save the trip of breaking a chest full of items, placing it again with an anvil and moving the contents by hand. Renaming is handled by the mod itself, and a config option controls how the rename works.
Easy Rename needs Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) to run. Mod Menu is optional and can be added to open its settings from the game menu. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Builds are published for Fabric only, across nine release versions 1.19.4 – 1.21, and the code is open source under the MIT License. The latest file, 0.5.0+1.21, is for 1.21 and dates from 2024-08-11. Snapshot builds are not published.

Use cases
Labeling storage
Chests and barrels in a farm or base can be named to show what they hold, so items are easier to find.
Naming displays
Item frames in a showcase or map can carry names that describe what each frame shows.
Who it’s for: Players who run storage systems or build displays, and server owners who want labeled containers without extra commands or blocks.
How it compares
Simple Rename Command is server-side only, under a custom license that is not open source, and covers 1.21.11 – 26.2. One Click Anvil is client-side only, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.21.6 – 26.3. Rename Item Ui is client and server, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.20 – 1.20.6, so it reaches older versions than Easy Rename.
