Renaming Prison Pickaxes

This is highly overdue.

I agree with this for sure

 

If this gets accepted, Harvest Hoe's should get the same threatment on skyblock!

 

Yes!

 

This would help add use to rename scrolls as well. It's a small thing that could make playing even more enjoyable!

 

Definitely a cool feature to add to the customizability of the subserver, would be great to see this addition applied to Skyblock items such as the Harvest Hoe as well!

I can almost guarantee that the developers have had this idea before however stopped probably because of some back-end code preventing them. I'm no developer so I'm going to go from what I assume and hopefully @KierenBoal could give some insight in the future :))

From what I gather, if you were to apply a nametag to an upgradable tool, the system that recognizes your using an Upgradeable Pickaxe/Harvest Hoe would fail and count the pickaxe as just an enchanted tool, as the name/item ID likely play a part in identifying that your tool is a real upgradable tool.

Maybe in the future as a reward for maxing an upgradable tool you earn the ability to change your tools name? As then you won't be applying more enchants. However I definitely agree that it would be great to see another purpose added for the rename scrolls!

Have a nice day @Oracy!

 

There is (now) no technical reason why we disallow renaming the items.
Whilst historically items checked their names - e.g., harvest hoes would literally check that their name was '&2&lHarvest Hoe' or whatever the name is.

Nowadays we store all the information on the item itself in NBT format.

The only reason I can see us still disallowing renaming the item is it's a LOT more efficient in code to just check the name of the item, rather than casting it an NMS item and reading the NBT on it. (Consider 50 people using harvest hoes / upgradable pickaxes day 1, breaking hundreds of thousands of blocks a second)

Definitely worth mentioning when the next season of anything comes up, I'm sure we can look into it; cause yeah renaming those would be pretty dope.
