Manage Multiple Name Tags Efficiently
Recycling Name Tags Between Mobs
The mod's tag recovery system makes name tag management sustainable:
1. When you rename a mob that already has a name, the old tag returns to your inventory
2. Use shears on any named mob to instantly get its tag back
3. Named mobs drop their tags when killed
4. This means you can reuse the same few tags across many mobs over time
Preventing Waste
The mod protects you from accidental losses:
- If you try to apply the same name twice, the tag won't be consumed
- You'll get the tag back if you change your mind
- This prevents the frustration of losing tags to mistakes
Organizing Your Inventory
With tag recovery working smoothly, you can:
- Keep just a few name tags in your hotbar
- Rotate them between different mobs as needed
- Strip names with shears when you're done with a mob
- Focus on naming only the mobs that matter to you
This system eliminates the need to hoard name tags or visit an anvil repeatedly.
