Mononym
by TheTrueYak
Mononym changes how name tags are renamed in Fabric, letting players rename items with a name tag held on the cursor.
What it does
Renaming an item with a name tag is reworked so it takes a simpler and cheaper route than in vanilla. A name tag held on the cursor can be right-clicked onto an item to rename it, and a name tag can be crafted together with an item in the crafting grid. Items can be renamed in both of these ways.
Mononym runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need the mod. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, under All rights reserved, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Cursor renaming
Right-clicking an item while a named name tag is held on the cursor applies the name to that item.
Crafting grid renaming
An item and a name tag can be placed together in the crafting grid to produce a renamed item.
Two renaming routes
Items can be renamed either by the cursor method or by the crafting method, depending on what the player prefers.
