Name tags are items that can be used to rename entities in Minecraft. They can be found in the creative inventory or crafted using 1 gold ingot and 1 paper. Once applied, a name tag will rename the targeted entity and display its name above it. This can be particularly useful for organizing your mob farms, tracking friendly mobs, or adding a personal touch to your gameplay.
