Right-Clickable Nametags
Right-Clickable Nametags lets a player name a nametag by right-clicking it, without an anvil, on client and server.
What it does
Players type a name directly onto a nametag with a right click, so naming no longer depends on an anvil. A nametag that has been used this way is shown with the enchantment glow, which marks it as already named. Only the Fabric loader is supported, and the mod runs on client and server.
Key features
Right-click naming
Right-clicking a nametag opens a simple prompt for typing its name, with no anvil needed.
Glow on named tags
A nametag named this way is highlighted with the enchantment glow, so named tags stand out in an inventory.
Glow-free option
An earlier build of the mod is available for players who do not want the enchantment glow on named tags.
