Required renaming
The page mentions that name tags need to be renamed first to make them work. But what if I want to name a mob "Name Tag"? Will it work nonetheless? --☺ Sven ? ! 15:26, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Related question: does renaming a name tag at an anvil cost levels, like everything else, or is it a free operation? Either way, it should be noted in the article. --timrem 17:54, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Name tags in nether fortress
I am not sure since what version chests appear in nether fortresses - I found them in snapshot 13w25c. These chests contain the same items the dungeon chests contain. I found 3 name tags in the chests there.

Mob despawning and dificulties
Anyone found out whether naming a hostile mob affects whether they despawn when you switch to peaceful mode? It seems logical that you'd still end up removing a hostile, but that would be an annoying way to lose a good rename, by wasting it on a mob that you later despawn by switching difficulties.--184.21.69.62 04:00, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * As per the trivia section, "Named hostile mobs still despawn if you switch the difficulty to Peaceful (and do not reappear if you switch back to Easy, Normal or Hard). It is therefore advised not to use name tags on hostile mobs, or to take great caution, as nametags are rather rare." 24.68.158.218 15:36, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Name Tags Wishes
Name tags should be able to be created in a 4x4 area using one piece of paper and a string with the paper in the bottom left and the string in the top right

Naming Villagers
I was able to successfully name an adult villager in 1.6.2 SMP vanilla. I simply renamed the name tag on an anvil, which cost 5 experience levels, and then right-clicked the adult. Bam. Name over his head. --Digitalgadget 02:07, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

I was able to name one too, you need to rapidly click on them with the name tag and exiting the menu that pops up for it to eventually happen SN202 21:36, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Despawn of hostile mobs in non loadad chuncks
Does somebody know if named hostile mobs wich are in a non loaded chunck despawn if you change dificulty to peacefull. For example if I have an named Zombie Pigman in the Nether and change game difficulty to peacefull in the Overworld does he despawn? (Asumming I only enter the Nether with a higer difficulty setting) 217.253.31.178 12:53, 9 September 2013 (UTC)


 * If a chunk is unloaded, nothing will change in it until it's loaded again. When moving between dimensions, the chunks of the previous dimension may not unload immediately, so don't assume it's safe to switch to peaceful as soon as you leave the Nether. -- Orthotope talk 06:52, 10 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the help. :) 217.249.41.136 11:09, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Villager renaming "trivia"
In trivia it says both that adult villagers can and can´t be renamed, it doesent make any sense.


 * You can rename it if your fast enough. --125.60.156.174 10:38, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

mobs
i am doing some research can you tell me how to name a mob in the xbox 360 platform?

Naming villager
I was able to name an adult villager in SMP by myself by simply spamming right click and open inventory key a few times with the nametag in my hand. Probably due to the latency, i was still in the inventory when right clicking to put the tag on. I've attempted it in SSP but to no avail, i'm sure something could be worked out for it though.
