What it does

Players craft name tags from one nugget each of iron, gold and copper with a paper. Killed entities that carry a custom name leave a name tag behind as a drop, so the item can be reused on other mobs. The mod needs 5555ff-lib on every loader it is installed with.

Key features

Crafting recipe
A name tag is made from iron, gold and copper nuggets with one paper, placed in a crafting grid.
Name tag drops
Named entities that die drop a name tag, so the name can be carried over to another mob.
Shaped crafting
The recipe is shaped, so the ingredients must be arranged in the grid to produce the item.
