Hey, wanted to let you know, installing this mod blanked out my handbook. Even after uninstalling it's still blanked out.

Thank you goat !

I have reviewed. Minor additions needed from you Zaedin

Hell yeah, MR created

Hi Zaedin, I would prefer you make a Merge Request to the original mod. I would then release a new version of the mod Zaedin

Hello SiiMeR, big fan of your mods!

Would it be ok to make a fork of this mod to add a new config to disable boat ownership? I would also gladly create a Merge Request if you want to make it part of the original mod

I am making this for the Coasts of Hybrasil server, where we use another method for boat ownership which is causing conflicts with this one. Basically, use the mod only for renaming

I would but my friend runs the Lan, we still have it on the larest version and it's not working now :( Only makes you write a book.

Could you try out version 1.5.0? I have attempted to fix the issue for LAN / singleplayer worlds Agitha

It's not singleplayer, it's on a Lan server. The person that put the nametag on their Elk saw the name but we didn't. Then maybe 5 minutes ;later, it changed back to Tamed Elk.
I did try it on a singleplayer world and it worked but when I reloaded, it disappeared too. 
Not sure if it's something we have to change in the files. We're not very good at fixing coding stuff lol Thanks fior the replly!

Are you playing on a singleplayer world (opened to LAN/internet)? others seemed to have problem with it too Agitha

As of 03/15/2026,  Naming Elks don't seem to keep their name? We use the quill and parchment. It added it then just goes back to Tamed Elk (Male). Other players don't see names at all. Is there something we are doiing wrong?
Or even if we relog, it vanishes.

Question: is there a max name size limit? and if not, could you potentially add one that can be adjusted through the config? I don't want my friends to create names that stretch across the entire screen, as funny as that might be

Should work on any entity redcerato

so i have the fauna elephant mod and does this nametag work on them?

Weather  We are using on an SMP with 1.21.6 and it's working great.  We've named our elks and the names are persistent even through server reboots and saves.  Very happy with this mod. 

It does work on 1.21.5 at least Weather

Hello! Does this mod still work on multiplayer in 1.21.6?

yes, I'm in singleplayer

I think the singleplayer thingy has been broken since launch and I've no clue how to fix it invalidVulture

This doesn't appear to be working on 1.21.5. Haven't tested in a multiplayer world, but in singleplayer names get wiped on re-load. Tested with and without other mods, and in both cases the names are wiped on reload.

This is not a complaint by the way, I am aware the download itself mentions it may be out of date - I'd just like to make sure it's known that something appears to have broken between 1.21.1 and 1.21.5.

Are you playing singleplayer Ving

the game keeps wiping the names I put whenever I re-join the world

having the same nametag issue on singleplayer, wont save no matter what

thanks!

It should work on 1.21.1 yes Cmdr_Fil

is this updated for 1.21.1? like will it work?

can you add an option to make nametagged animals not despawn? is that possible?

That is weird, for some reason in singleplayer the serverside doesn't properly save

I'm having the same issue as Solaire_Goshaven, where tamed elk can be named but relogging reverts the name to default: I am on singleplayer, issue occurred on both v.1.21 and v1.21.1.

They revert to their default name 

What happens to the entities when this mod is removed?

SiiMeR no, im playing a multiplayer world opened to a couple of friends.

Are you playing singleplayer? Solaire_Goshaven

I'm having an issue where I'm able to name elks, but after re-logging, the name reverts and has to be reapplied with a new nametag. Version is 1.20.11, has anyone else noticed this?

It should work out of the box with that too. 

While I haven't tried seeing if it works, this would be neat with the https://mods.vintagestory.at/equus mod

Done C4BR3R4 

Thanks for the translation!

Of course SiiMeR

Hey, do you want me to include the translation in my mod? C4BR3R4

Hi, i translated mod to Spanish Spain (es-es).

Should be fine as the name is a base game feature, I am just adding an item to change it Nephelangelo

Freakyuser396 thx bro i will try it 

Is this safe to add and remove from a world? Might introduce it to my server.

That issue should now be fixed! Pinewater

Cool mod!
Unfortunately having crashes with version 1.20
Tried it without any other mods and it still crashed

1.10 Seems to work just fine though

(Crash logs)

This really, really belongs in vanilla. 

Mrcloch You need a "Ink an Quill" in your offhand for the nametag item to work, and modded entities should work, at least my carts do

SiiMeR alright thx but with this mod how can i name animal/creatures like the elk or other animals like rhinos from the fauna eras mods or dinos by example ? like i was not able to find a way to write a name on the item or at least i did not knew how to do it?

There is the Itemizer mod (https://mods.vintagestory.at/itemizer) for naming items. This is only for living and/or moving things. 

Stopping enemies from despawning is possible, but not in the scope of this mod

Mrcloch

hey sorry but how do you add the anemto the item like i try shift click or control click do i have to go to an anvil like the other block game? or how also neat idea is it posible to stop enemies from despawning if they have a name?

SiiMeR

gr8! Thank you!

I have added audit logging in v1.0.4

Example:

13.5.2025 11:02:01 [Audit] Player SiiMeR (g1U2RO0yyLzWikUwC6Jmuzw2) renamed entity game:tameddeer-albinoelk-female-adult (at 511284, 111, 512087) from 'Tamed albino elk adult (Female)' to 'New Name'

Hello o/ Is it possible to log name changes somwehere when mod is used on the server. You know. Imagine situation when some people can name entities with unapropriate names and we, admins need something to identified those players.
