So, how exactly do you use a name tag in Minecraft? Let’s find out together!
Quick Guide to Using Name Tags
First things first, you need to get your hands on a name tag. You can’t just craft these special items; you find them! Explore dungeons, mine shafts, or fish them out of the water. Once you’ve got one, you’re halfway there.
Next up, you need an anvil. Place your name tag on the anvil, and type the name you want to give your mob or pet. It can be anything you like! Now, simply take the named name tag, find your buddy, and right-click on them with the tag. Voila! They now have a name, and it will float above their heads for all to see.
