Set Up a Mob Farm with Named Mobs

Design Your Farm Structure

Plan your mob farm layout with containment areas for different species. Name tags will be essential for keeping key mobs in place—particularly breeding pairs or special specimens you want to preserve.

Craft Name Tags in Bulk

Since this mod makes name tags craftable, produce a large batch before starting your farm. You'll need enough to name all your breeding stock and any mobs you want to keep from despawning during construction or testing phases.

Name Your Breeding Stock

Apply name tags to your chosen breeding pairs. Named mobs won't despawn, so they'll remain in your farm even if you leave the area for extended periods. This ensures your breeding operation continues smoothly without losing valuable animals.

Monitor and Maintain

With named mobs anchored in place, your farm becomes more reliable. You can leave the area, work on other projects, and return to find your breeding pairs still there. Use additional name tags as you expand the farm or add new breeding groups. The renewable nature of craftable name tags makes scaling up your operation practical.
