# On-The-Fly Renaming<\/p>\n

The concept of OTF Renaming is simple: enable the user to rename specific items without the use of an anvil. <\/p>\n

## Usage<\/p>\n

While holding an applicable item, sneak to rename it. This will replace the item with a temporary book and quill. The player should open it and write the desired name within the book. Then, upon signing, the previous item is returned with the name.
\n– Returns item upon failure
\n– Supports stacks and custom NBT data<\/p>\n

By default, either Paper (used to label Warp Pads) and Name Tags or just Name Tags have this functionality enabled.<\/p>\n

*Note: Unlike an anvil, this project does not limit the size or contents of user input. Keep this in mind when choosing to install.*<\/p>\n
