    one of my favorite tiny Minecraft secrets: the Dinnerbone name tag.

    steps:

    1. Get a name tag (fishing, chests, or trading with librarian villagers).
    2. use an anvil to rename it Dinnerbone.
    3. use it on any mob.

    The mob flips upside down. The joke is about a Mojang developer who once joked that ppl should flip his name. The name Grumm does teh same thing. It works in both Java and Bedrock editions from what Ive seen. what am i doing wrong??

    Its case-sensitive on Java... dinnerbone in loewrcase doesnt flip teh mob, use the exact capitalization. lmk how it goes
