I searched for this suggestion, but found nothing that suggests only Name Tag recipes or gave any details on the recipes. So I made this thread.
As of now, Name Tags can only be obtained via dungeon chests, Creative mode, or inventory editing. Personally, I feel that going through the trouble of finding one of the extremely rare dungeons just for an aesthetic addition is ridiculous. Therefore, I feel that the Name Tags should have a crafting recipe. It wouldn't be too difficult to craft one, since all it does it add a name to mobs you use it on. Note that you could still find Name Tags in dungeon chests, for players who don't want to spend their materials on naming their pets.
Here's how I think they should be crafted:
Pros:
Name Tags would be easier to obtain
Cons:
Name Tags would be less valuable

I also don't feel that name tags in their current state are worth the trouble. Support!

Minecraft is not medieval-themed!!! As a matter of fact, it doesn't have a set time. And when and WHY did putting reponses in the quote, especially long ones, become a trend in the Suggestions? It's rather inconvenient, mainly since the OP has to gather your quote up manually. Avatar made by Endergirl!
I agree that they are currently too rare for what they do, but I don't think you should be able to craft them, especially not that cheaply. Nametags don't only name a mob, they also prevent it from despawning. And you wouldn't want players with mob grinders and sugarcane farms to mass name every mob they see to lagg out the server.
Maybe it should be a very rare drop from farm animals or something.
Oh jeez. I just realized it was a necro. It's not as bad as when some random guy ressurects a suggestion from like 2011 saying "this exists already".
I lol hard when that happens.

Because sticks and signs make name tags. As for the OP, they are a challenge because they can make mobs not despawn, and are valuable for that reason. If made common everyone would have armies of creepers under their house or something. No Support

Yes they should be added to make it more accessible because having a name tag easy to access doesn't really change the balance of anything such as combat, and progress in the game, it's simply naming you're pet or whatever so you know which is which.
But then again it's not that hard to find with surface dungeons still very commonly found in deserts and can be found with multiple of them in a single chest. I found a seed with 260+ dungeons and from the first 180 of them i had over 100 name tags. Take that ratio and assuming all dungeons had 2 chests there would have been a 1 in 3 chance of them having a name tag in it.

Check out my new game, Legends of Aekran!
It also makes the mob not despawn, and can make them flip upside down by naming the mob "Dinnerbone".
Support.
May have some balance issues, but I'm not sure.
An alternate timeline emerges.
However, we must first start from the beginning...

I agree with ben_g0.

I think it should have a crafting recipe like a sign,stick,ink sack,and string

That is on a server with lag control, and the creepers would explode for the player owning them therefore causing a chain reaction
I half agree half disagree with this.

I think maybe if you changed the recipe (Perhaps having 1 string rather than 3), this might be a pretty good idea.
my recipe (shapeless):
1 string
1 iron ingot (the tag looks like it's made of metal)
1 book & quill (the part where you write on)
There. Not too expensive but not ridiculously cheap.
Hey there, (Again Necro)
If it were to be somewhat still valuable but craftable, what if it was something like this;
If anything, I wish it would be made with iron. Iron because I'm used to those metallic military name tags.
I'm not against Name Tags becoming craftable.
Is there a reason they aren't craftable though?
I recall them making mobs not despawn which could cause lag, worst case scenario.
