Craftable Nametag Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.6) removes one of the small but persistent annoyances in vanilla Minecraft: the inability to craft nametags. Typically considered a treasure item, nametags are useful not just for naming pets or mobs, but also for making entities persistent (i.e., preventing them from despawning). Unfortunately, in the base game, acquiring large numbers of nametags requires either luck with loot chests or tedious fishing. This mod addresses the issue by introducing a fair and functional crafting recipe, letting players obtain nametags whenever needed.

Features:
- Adds a Crafting Recipe for Nametags
Nametags can now be crafted using standard materials, removing the dependency on RNG-based treasure systems. - No More Chest-Hunting or Fishing

Whether you’re preventing mobs from despawning, labeling storage systems, or roleplaying, the crafted nametags behave exactly like vanilla ones. - Balanced for Survival
The recipe is designed to be resource-friendly yet balanced for progression. - Compatible with Mods and Vanilla
