The Craftable Name Tag Mod (1.21.7, 1.20.1) solves a frustrating limitation in vanilla Minecraft: the inability to craft name tags. In the base game, name tags can only be found in loot chests or while fishing, making them unreasonably rare for such a simple item. This mod fixes that by introducing a straightforward and affordable crafting recipe for name tags.
Available for Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge, this mod is perfect for players who want more convenient access to name tags in Survival, especially when managing pets, mobs, villagers, or armor stands. No more dungeon crawling just to name your dog.

Features:
- Crafting Recipe for Name Tags:
Adds a balanced and resource-friendly recipe to craft name tags using commonly available materials. - Eliminates RNG Frustration:
You no longer need to search loot chests, fish endlessly, or trade with villagers just to get a name tag. - Survival-Friendly:
Fully integrated into the survival gameplay loop. No commands or cheats just crafting. - Lightweight and Focused:
The mod doesn’t add anything else or alter vanilla mechanics. It simply makes a minor but much-needed quality-of-life improvement. - Cross-Loader Support:
Compatible with Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge loaders for flexibility in any modpack or server setup.

Why use Craftable Name Tag Mod?
In vanilla Minecraft, name tags are treated as rare treasures — but functionally, they serve a utility role rather than a progression role. You shouldn’t have to spend hours raiding dungeons just to name your pet wolf or mark a villager.
Craftable Name Tag Mod respects the game’s balance while removing unnecessary tedium. With a simple recipe added to the crafting table, you get immediate access to name tags as soon as you need them, keeping gameplay flowing and frustration low.
Ideal for:
- Survival players managing animals or farms
- Redstone engineers using named entities for mechanics
- Builders who want clean naming systems for NPCs or armor stands
- Server owners who want players to access name tags fairly
