How to Craft Name Tags at a Crafting Table

Gathering Your Crafting Ingredients

Instead of hunting through dangerous dungeons or searching rare loot chests, the Craftable Nametags mod allows you to assemble name tags right in your base. Before crafting, collect the basic materials required:

  • Iron: Smelt iron ore to get iron ingots.
  • Paper: Craft sugar cane into paper.
  • String: Gather string by defeating spiders or breaking cobwebs.
  • Leather: Obtain leather from cows or horses, which is used in recipe variations combining iron and leather.

Keep these items in your main inventory so they are accessible when you interact with crafting stations.

Assembling the Name Tag

Once your materials are ready, head to your crafting area to produce the tags:

1. Place down a standard crafting table and right-click to open its 3x3 grid.

2. Arrange your ingredients—such as paper, string, and iron, or iron and leather—into the grid.

3. Check the output slot on the right to see the completed name tag appear.

4. Click the name tag to transfer it into your inventory.

Because the recipe relies entirely on basic materials, you can repeat these steps whenever you need extra tags without leaving your base to explore structures.
