Finding Name Tags in Minecraft

If you’re trying to find these naturally, we are sorry to say that Name Tags cannot be crafted from a recipe or found in the wild without some RNG. Thankfully, there are a few different ways you can get your hands on them.

Fishing

Name Tags are among the treasure loot pool that can be found through fishing. While this definitely a fight against the RNG, it’s something you can just keep doing as long as you have a rod. Finding treasure through fishing is about a 5% chance per cast.

Chest Looting

This one is probably the most lucrative in general if you are the explorer type, but Name Tags have a chance to come out of looted chests. These statistics are off of the wiki and tell the chances to find a Name Tag depending on the location the chest was found:

  • Dungeon – 28.3%
  • Mineshaft – 42.3%
  • Ancient City – 16.1%
  • Buried Treasure – 34.3%
  • Woodland Mansion – 29.7%

Buying From Villagers

This is probably the worst chance of all, considering the large pool of possible items that villagers could sell you. However, it’s still a way to get a Name Tag.

That should cover everything you need to know about how to get Name Tags in Minecraft. With them, you could even name a Polar Bear.
