BBS Model Block Renamer
by trigoop
BBS Model Block Renamer lets players give a BBS model block a custom name through an anvil-style naming screen.
What it does
The mod replaces the anvil naming screen for BBS model blocks, so a player can type the name they want for a model instead of accepting the default label. Players had few options for naming these blocks before, and the mod adds a text field that works like an anvil rename. Once a name is set, the block keeps it even after it is dropped and picked up again.
The mod runs on the client only, so players install it on their own game and servers need nothing extra. It requires the BBS mod, and it is published for Fabric only, with builds for 1.20 and 1.20.1 and version 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. The author describes the mod as beta tested, and says textures for picked-up and dropped blocks are planned for later releases. The license is MIT License, and the project is not open source, so the code can be reused under its terms.
Key features
Custom model block names
A model block can be renamed through a naming screen that replaces the default label with the name the player types.
Names kept on drop
The assigned name stays with the block when it is dropped and picked up, so the label is not lost.
Anvil-style naming screen
The rename dialog works like an anvil, with a text field that stores the name for the selected model block.
Planned texture support
The author lists textures for picked-up and dropped blocks as a future addition, along with other content not yet included.

Use cases
Labeling model blocks in a build
Players who place many model blocks can give each one a clear name, which helps when a project uses several similar models.
Single-player and multiplayer clients
Because only the client runs the mod, a player can use it on any server without asking the server owner to install anything.
Who it’s for: Players who use BBS model blocks in single-player or on a server and want to label them with custom names.

This is a mod I have made due to the names being limited to "Model Block". So in my free time, I have made this mod for everyone to use:)
