Name and Protect Your Pets

Prepare Your Name Tags

Craft multiple name tags using this mod's recipe so you have plenty on hand. Since they're now craftable, you can make as many as needed without worrying about running out.

Apply Names to Mobs

Hold a name tag in your hand and right-click on any mob you want to name. The mob will receive the name you've set on the tag. This works for any entity—dogs, cats, horses, or even hostile mobs if you want to keep them contained.

Prevent Despawning

Named mobs have a crucial advantage: they won't despawn when you travel far away or reload your world. This makes name tags essential for keeping your pets safe and permanent. Once named, your animals will stay in place indefinitely, making them perfect for breeding farms, aesthetic displays, or companions.

Organize Your Animals

Use different names to organize your animal collection. Name your best breeding horses, your favorite dogs, or special mobs you want to keep. With craftable name tags, you can afford to name every important animal without guilt.
