Rename Commands

by JohnAdept

Rename Commands gives server operators and creative players two commands that rename items and entities quickly, without an anvil.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 1.21.4

What it does

Two commands rename entities and the item held in the main hand, which makes renaming faster in creative mode. The rename command targets the held item, and a reset variant clears the name instead of changing it. A separate command renames specified entities. Rename Commands is server-side only, so players join without installing it and only the server needs the mod. It requires Fabric API, and it is released under the MIT License as open source for 1.21 – 1.21.4.

Key features

  1. Rename held item

    A command renames the item in the main hand, covering the job an anvil would otherwise do.

  2. Rename specified entities

    A dedicated command renames entities chosen in the command, so names can be set without touching them directly.

  3. Reset names

    A reset variant of each command clears a name rather than replacing it with new text.

Questions

Does Rename Commands need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside Rename Commands on Fabric.

Does the server need Rename Commands installed?

Yes. The mod is server-side only, so the server runs it and players join without installing anything.

What the author says

This mod adds two commands that help with renaming items and entities faster in creative mode. This command will rename the item that the target is holding in their main hand. It's comparable with the functionality of an anvil.
