Very easy name tag craft
by Em3rald_XD
Very easy name tag craft adds two crafting recipes and new villager trades that make name tags obtainable without dungeon loot or long searches.
What it does
Name tags normally come from exploring dungeons and mineshafts or from trading with specific villagers, which can take hours when a player wants to name a pet or a mob. This NeoForge mod adds two balanced crafting recipes that use common materials and work directly at the crafting table, so a name tag can be made without luck or searching.
The mod also introduces new villager trades that offer name tags as an alternative to the existing trade. Players who prefer a fixed exchange get a second route that stays close to vanilla balance. Installation is needed on both the client and the server, and the mod is released under the MIT License but is not open source. Files are published for 1.21.8 only.
The package suits survival worlds and modpacks where saving time on a common item matters more than adding new content. It changes only how name tags are obtained and leaves the rest of the game alone.
Key features
Custom crafting recipes
Two crafting table recipes produce name tags from common materials, with no dungeon or trading step required.
New villager trades
Villagers gain an additional trade offering name tags, so the item can be bought without exploring.
Vanilla-friendly balance
The recipes and trades fit the existing economy and do not add new items to the game.
Lightweight addition
The mod only adds recipes and trades, keeping its footprint small in a modpack.

Use cases
Naming pets and mobs
Players who want to name a tamed animal or a mob can craft the tag at once instead of waiting on a dungeon drop.
Modpacks and survival worlds
Pack makers and survival players can keep name tags available without changing how the rest of the progression works.
Who it’s for: Players who name mobs often, and server owners who want name tags to be easier to obtain in a survival or modpack setting.
