About this mod
Anytag Datapack (Tag Anything, Anywhere)
Have you ever wanted to place name tags on anything? Now you can! Anytag is a Minecraft Datapack which allows players to craft a special Anytag item through a simple recipe. The item is used so any player can right-click on any block with the item in their hand, which will then place flying text where the player is pointing at and simultaneously consume itself.
Crafting
The recipe for crafting the Anytag item is simple. You just need a name tag and a sign of any kind (Dark oak sign, Oak sign, Spruce sign, etc.) and place them in this order:

You can rename the Anytag item according to your desires.
Usage
Here is a short depiction of how the Anytag item is crafted and used:

Right-clicking the Anytag item on any block will place flying text with the custom name of Anytag item.
Right-clicking in the middle of flying text will remove the text and drop the previously used Anytag item.
Left-clicking in the middle of flying text will remove the text and drop the name tag item instead of the Anytag item.

Try pressing F3 + B in-game to see the hitbox of the floating text.
