entitynametag_1.3.0.zip
1-click install
A simple mod that provides a nametag item to change the display name of most mobs and entities. Only you can name an elk belonging to you.
The nametag can also be used to take ownership of sailboats. Simply tick the checkbox when you are editing the name of the boat. LIMIT OF 1 BOAT PER PLAYER.
You can disallow more entity classes by editing ModConfig/EntityNametagConfig.json (server-side)
By default, these Entities are not able to be nametagged:

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

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.
