Minecraft Name Tag PNG
The Name Tag exactly as it looks in the Minecraft 26.3 inventory, as a transparent PNG. It is the render of the item itself, not a loose texture: what you see in your hand and in chests. In the creative inventory it sits in the “Tools” tab.

Sizes and quality
The Name Tag render is 128 × 128 pixels, the size the game draws the item at in the inventory. It scales up by whole numbers to 1024 px with no interpolation, so the edges stay sharp.

The name tag is used to name a mob. First you write the name on it at an anvil, which costs one experience level, and you can rename up to 64 at once for the same price. Then you use it on the mob and it is used up. Without renaming it does nothing. Names can be up to 50 characters in Java and 30 in Bedrock.
It cannot be crafted. The usual way to get one is fishing, at 0.8% per catch, and it also appears in structure chests. In Bedrock, the wandering trader may drop one on death if it was among its offers.
The most useful thing about a name is that the mob stops despawning and no longer counts toward the mob cap. Babies keep it when they grow up, a villager keeps it when zombified and when cured, and slimes and magma cubes pass the name on to the small ones when they split. The wandering trader is the exception: it despawns even when named. Once given, a name cannot be removed without commands.
Some names hide surprises: jeb_ makes a sheep cycle through colors, Johnny turns a vindicator aggressive and Toast changes a rabbit's look. On the Wither, the name shows on its boss bar.
