by 27rogi

RenameIt lets players change the display name, lore and color of an item or block through commands, and it can read PlaceholderAPI placeholders.

What it does

Commands rename the item held in the main hand, or a block, and set its lore lines and text color. The changes are stored on the item or block itself, so they stay when the stack is moved. The mod supports placeholders from PlaceholderAPI by Patbox, which lets the text pull in values such as player names. Files cover Fabric and Quilt for 1.17.1 – 1.20.1, and the mod is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source.

  2. Edit lore and color
