Using Anytag

Labeling Blocks with Anytag

Anytag solves a simple problem: in a long-running world, you know what is in a chest, but nobody else does. The mod adds one craftable item that writes a line of text and hangs it in the air beside a block.

Craft the item from a name tag and a sign of any wood type, so it is cheap enough to use freely early in a survival world. Rename it on an anvil to whatever the label should say, then right-click the block you want to mark.

The item is consumed and the text stays put, floating just in front of the block. It is legible from across a room and after dark. Because the label is an entity rather than a block, it costs no block space, needs no flat surface behind it, and works on anything at all — a chest, a barrel, a furnace, a door, a crop bed, or a fork in the road.
