Legalese
by Fisch37
Legalese removes the character limit on the anvil's rename field, so long names can be typed in full.
What it does
The mod lifts the length cap that vanilla places on text entered into an anvil. Players can rename items with longer strings, which suits signs of long text, custom item names and roleplay setups. Client and server both need it, since the anvil logic runs on the server and the client must send the longer text.
Legalese is published for Fabric only, with a single release file, 1.0.0, targeting 1.21.5. Builds cover 1.21 – 1.21.5 across six release versions. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Longer anvil names
The anvil text field accepts names beyond the vanilla character limit, so items can carry long custom labels.
Surveillance-free operation
The mod stays out of the anvil's normal behaviour apart from the length change, and adds no tracking or extra prompts.
Sync between client and server
Both sides apply the same length setting, so renamed items display the full text on every connected player's screen.
