Random Mob Name

Random Monster Names

What does this datapack do?

When a hostile mob spawns in your world, this datapack automatically gives it a random name. The name appears floating above the mob, just like using a name tag on an animal.

That's it. Simple, lightweight, and surprisingly entertaining.

Why use it?

• Makes exploration more fun – You'll never see just another zombie. You'll meet "Grumbles" or "Toebeans" instead.
• Creates memorable moments – "Remember that creeper named 'Boomer' who blew up our front gate?"
• No setup required – Just drop it in your datapacks folder and play.

Supported mobs

Zombies, Skeletons, Spiders, Creepers, Witches, Pillagers, Vindicators, and their variants (Husk, Stray, Drowned, etc.).

Customization

Want your own names? Open data/monster_names/functions/name_pool.mcfunction and edit the list. Add inside jokes, server member names, or whatever you like.

Requirements

• Minecraft Java Edition 1.19 or newer
• No mods or resource packs needed

Installation

1. Download the .zip file
2. Place it in your world's datapacks folder
3. Run /reload or re-enter the world
