Fishing is one way to obtain a name tag. Through fishing, players can get all types of items, ranging from raw fish to ultra rare treasures. This is not the best way to get a rare name tag, but it is definitely a viable option.

Players can increase the chances of getting a name tag by using 'Luck of the Sea' enchantment on their fishing rods. This will increase the chance of getting treasure items which include name tags.


2) Trading with Librarian

A Librarian is one of the most useful villagers in Minecraft. They can trade all sorts of valuable items like treasure enchantment books and name tags. When a player trades with a Librarian, they level up and offer more items to trade.

The only downside to obtaining name tags from Librarians is that they have to be at their highest level for them to trade name tags. Hence, taking Librarians to the highest level can take time and a lot of emeralds.


1) Chest Loot
