Minecraft players looking for name tags either have to spend their time fishing, exploring, or trading with max-level librarians.

Name tags are a rare treasure item in Minecraft. Players can only obtain a name tag if they find one as a chest loot in certain structures like Mineshafts, Buried Treasures, Woodland Mansions, etc.

In Minecraft 1.20, you can name any entity using name tags. These items are non-craftable and can only be found in chest loot or via villager trades.
