Craftable Name Tags

Prior to the Tiny Takeover update, Name Tags could only be found as random loot around certain structures. Now, though, Name Tags can finally be crafted, making it much easier to name all of your adorable new friends. They can be made using one paper and one nugget of any kind.

Other additions and changes

Outside of all the main major content featured in Tiny Takeover, there are also several smaller features and changes you may want to know about. These ones are less exciting, but still worth knowing about if you want to ensure you're up to date with everything this update entails.

• A Trumpet note block has been added. You can place copper blocks at various oxidation levels beneath it to hear different sounds.
• New sounds for many baby mobs have been added.
• Some adult mobs, including pigs, cows, cats, and chickens, spawn with different sound personalities, which means each one you come across may sound a bit different.
• In Bedrock Edition, you can now spawn baby mobs by using the spawn egg on an adult version of the mob. This feature already existed in Java Edition, but has now finally made its way to Bedrock, too.

If you're looking for some tasks to keep you busy in Minecraft while you wait for the Tiny Takeover update to arrive, there's plenty to choose from. You might try working on
