Next, you can head over to the river banks or near the beaches to find sugarcane crops. Break these crops using your hand and place three sugarcane on a crafting table to get paper. Finally, you will need a crafting table<\/a> to put all the ingredients together.<\/p>\n Step-by-Step Guide: How to Make a Name Tag<\/p>\n After having all the required ingredients in your pocket, you can perform the steps given below to craft a Name Tag in Minecraft:<\/p>\n After placing the crafting table on the ground, right-click on it to open the grid.<\/p>\n Place the paper on the bottom-left corner of the grid and the metal nugget in the central cell. <\/p>\n The Name Tag will be available in the right slot. And, you can drag and drop it in your inventory.<\/p>\n Other than crafting, the older methods to obtain the Name Tags are still valid and exist in Minecraft 26.1 update<\/a>. You can get them through loot chests, fishing, and trading. That being said, here are the chances of getting a Name Tag from every method:<\/p>\n Lootchests: You can get Name Tags from the loot chest of Mineshafts (42.3%), Monster Rooms (25.3%), Woodland Mansion (28.3%), and Ancient Cities (16.1%).<\/p>\n Fishing: It has a 0.8% chance of getting caught during fishing. <\/p>\n Wandering Trader: At times, you can find the Wandering Trader sell a single Name Tag for 1 emerald.<\/p>\n Right after the Minecraft baby mobs update goes live, the Librarian Villager will no longer trade Name Tags for emeralds.<\/p>\n Name Tag Uses and Mechanics in Minecraft<\/p>\n As the name suggests, you can use Name Tags for naming mobs in Minecraft. But naming the mobs requires a couple of steps, and this is how you do it:<\/p>\n First, place an Anvil on the ground and right-click on it to open its UI.<\/p>\n Now place the Name Tag on the leftmost cell and type a new name in the text box above.<\/p>\n You will notice that renaming a Name Tag costs 1 experience point.<\/p>\n If you have enough experience points, you can drag and drop the renamed Name Tag in your inventory.<\/p>\n The cost to rename a full stack of Name Tags (64x) is still the same, just a single experience point. To gain experience, use the best farms in Minecraft<\/a>, or simply kill a few zombies or animals in the game for the time being.<\/p>\n Note that once you have named the mobs, they are removed from the mob number cap and will no longer despawn from your world. Moreover, if you want to name a younger mob, it will stay even after it grows up. But if you don\u2019t want your adorable companion to grow old, consider feeding it a Golden Dandelion. <\/p>\n That is all about how you can craft a Name Tag in Minecraft. So, have you gone through all the other features of the Minecraft Tiny Takeover update? Tell us in the comments below.<\/p>\n Can you craft a Name Tag in Minecraft? <\/p>\n Yes, after the Minecraft 26.1 update, Name Tags can be crafted using one nugget and one paper.<\/p>\n Why is my Name Tag not working? <\/p>\n It may be because you are using the Name Tag without renaming it, and that would not have any effect on the mobs. Rename it on an anvil first, and then right-click the Name Tag on the mob to rename it.<\/p>\n \n\t\tRelated Articles\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBipradeep Biswas\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\tDec 17, 2025\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBipradeep Biswas\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\tDec 17, 2025\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n![\"Nametag](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Nametag-Crafting-Recipe-in-Minecraft.jpg\")
