Rename Tag
Rename Tag lets players rename every matching item stack in their inventory in one action, using the vanilla anvil screen.
What it does
With Rename Tag, a player opens an anvil, types the new name, switches on the bulk mode and clicks the result. Every matching stack in the inventory gets the same name, and each one is charged separately, costing experience and adding wear to the anvil under the usual vanilla break chance, as though each stack were renamed on its own. When the player runs out of experience, the process stops by itself. No custom block, command or name tag is needed.
The mod is client and server, so Fabric API is required on both sides, and both the server and every player must run Rename Tag for the bulk behavior to work. When the server runs without the mod, the anvil behaves exactly as vanilla does for every individual rename. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is not open source. Files exist for Fabric only, across 16 release versions 1.21 – 26.2, with 1.0.0+26.1 for 26.2 as the latest file, published 2026-07-05.
Key features
Bulk anvil renaming
Identical item stacks in the inventory are renamed together from a single anvil action.
Bulk mode toggle
A toggle on the anvil screen switches the bulk behavior on or off before the result is taken.
Per-stack costs
Experience and anvil damage are applied for every renamed stack, matching the vanilla rename cost.
Automatic stop
Renaming ends on its own when the player's experience runs out, so no stack is left half charged.

Use cases
Naming tool sets
A player who keeps many identical tools or weapons can label them all with one rename instead of repeating the anvil step.
Who it’s for: Players who rename many identical items in survival or on multiplayer servers, and server owners who want to offer the feature to their players.
How it compares
Smart Stack Refiller is client-side only and is open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21.11 – 26.1.2, so it runs on a player's client without any server support. One Level Anvil is server-side only, uses the MIT License and is not open source, with files for 26.2 only. Rename Tag differs from both by requiring the same install on the server and every client.
