Name Tags Shouldn't Be Craftable.

They have decided to make name tags craftable recently in the new snapshot for 26.1. This sort of ruins the incentive to explore and find one.

Like with saddles: if you wanted to ride a horse, you had to go out and find a saddle. Then they made it craftable in 'chase the skies' which meant it was much easier to obtain and took away the incentive for players to explore and find one. 

It's the same now with name tags, it takes away some the desire to explore and find one. Lucky players who stumble upon a dungeon and find a name tag in a chest would likely take it, knowing the item cannot be crafted and is somewhat valuable. Now they are more likely to leave it behind as they are really easy to craft and aren't that valuable anymore.

In conclusion, I believe that name tags (and saddles) should remain uncraftable to give a reason for players to explore their world and not just hang around spawn knowing they can get anything they want or need.

I know that Mojang probably won't consider or even read this post, but I still wanted to put this thought out there, so please vote if you agree!

    It genuinely makes no sense to make an item that revived the Dragon yet somehow a darn Saddle and Name tag we can't do, do you not see or understand the inconsistencies there? Minecraft is a solo sandbox games everyone plays differently a lot of people play for animals and exploration it makes no sense to limit their fun just because YOU think A saddle and nametags should be treasure that ISN'T GUARANTEED by the way on all structures what if someone wants to explore the world and named their pets? Do you think it's justifiable to find structures hard or elusive structures like Dungeons or outpost several blocks down or away and without Chunk Base help is good? Do you GENUINELY believe a saddle and nametags to name a mob should be rare to item because remember it's NOT GUARANTEED in every structure?

    Like... Understand YOU are not the only one playing this game a lot of the more casual fan base play it too let them have fun let them explore with saddle and nametags early without risking and wasting time for outpost, buried treasure or dungeons my god I'm trying to be as civil as I can 

    Let our Casual fan base thrive geez they deserves it
