Minecraft name tag names and ideas
Four names change how a mob looks or acts, and the picker below gives you plain names for the rest.
Special names that change a mob
Names are case-sensitive, so type them exactly.
| Name | Mob | What happens |
|---|---|---|
DinnerboneGrumm | Any mob | The mob is drawn upside down. |
jeb_ | Sheep | The wool cycles through every colour. The wool you shear keeps its real colour. |
Toast | Rabbit | The rabbit gets a special black and white skin. |
Johnny | Vindicator | It attacks almost every mob it sees, not just players. |

How to use a name tag
- Name tags cannot be crafted. You find them in chests, by fishing, or by trading with a librarian villager.
- Put the name tag in an anvil, type the name and take it out. This costs 1 experience level.
- Hold the renamed tag and use it on the mob.
- A named mob will not despawn.
In Creative, or with cheats on, you can get one with a command:
/give @p minecraft:name_tag
