Add an option to rename items / name tags

Self explanatory, emulate the Vanilla renaming system on a TFC anvil.

commented

As of #1964, the scribing table was added, which comes with this functionality.

I'm going to say no for a couple reasons:

  • The TFC anvil GUI is already complex enough, and this would be adding a whole new separate mechanic to it.
  • There's no a priori reason why using a name tag should require an anvil (except for the fact it does in vanilla).

However, this still leaves the problem of what to do with name tags (and to a lesser extent, naming items). So I propose several possible solutions:

  • Add a recipe for the vanilla anvil, but rename it to "deadweight" (the BWM solution)
  • Add a "scribing table" which's only purpose is renaming name tags and/or naming items (potentially with the XP cost removed?)
  • Add a GUI directly to name tags (I think classic did something of this sort). Possibly make name tags apply-able directly to items as well.

I like the scribing table idea, maybe using ink instead of XP?

Scribing table sounds wonderful actually, although using ink to rename your wrought iron pickaxe is weird.
I really dislike the idea of bolting a GUI onto name tags too, even without needing to add a new item, and the way Classic went about it didn't look good either.

I like a scribing table as well, though a GUI would be welcome as well. Wouldn't recommend using XP, I think dye (to get colored text?) is fine

commented

Scribing table with ink sounds great especially if dyes can be used, not sure how it would be shown in game though. just give a text above their heads, maybe color that? could also use a chisel instead if prefered for "engraving" the name into the nameplate
