Name Tag

A name tag is an item used to give a name to a mob after writing one on the tag using an anvil. Most named mobs do not despawn or count toward the mob cap.

Name tags are obtainable through fishing, with a 0.8% chance per attempt. See fishing for more details.

To use a name tag, it must first be renamed with an anvil, costing 1 experience level. A stack of up to 64 name tags can be renamed at once, and the cost is still 1 experience level per stack.
