The name input screen for the Branding Iron
When you first right-click with the Branding Iron, a box will appear, in which you enter the name your Branding Iron will apply to any animals it is used on. Once this is done, you must heat the branding iron by right clicking a fire (lava doesn't work). After this, you may name up to 5 animals before you must reheat the Branding Iron. In order to change the name the Branding Iron applies, you must craft the tool with 1 Iron Ingot.
