📋 About This Mod
Bepinex client
Bepinex server
If running a dedicated server you will need bepinex installed on the server side. If running local/single-player/local multiplayer it must be installed at the host. Only required on the host, and will not do anything on any other client.
This mod sweeps every minute or so and will name any tamed or recently matured creature that it can. It only sweeps the active player areas. Once named it becomes tagged so that it isn't included in future sweeps.
There are about 6 names per category and they are randomly assigned. I may look into having a config file created on first run so you can add your own names to the pool.

AutoNameMod automatically assigns random names to tamed creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved, drawing from a pool of about 6 names per animal type. It triggers on taming or maturity and checks every minute. A small utility mod with 4 endorsements, last updated August 2025.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Handy for players who hate naming every tame manually.
- Tiny mod, no bloat—just does one job.
- Freshly updated (August 2025), so likely works with current game version.
⚠️ Cons
- Tiny name pool (only 6 per type) means you'll see repeats fast.
- Very low adoption (4 endorsements) — might be buggy or niche.
- No options to customize name lists or disable for specific creatures.
For ARK players who tame lots of creatures and want to skip the naming chore. If you're a roleplayer who loves unique names, this mod's limited pool will disappoint. Skip if you want deep customization—this is a simple QoL tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to install the mod on both server and client if playing multiplayer.
- After installing, load your save and wait a minute—names will start appearing automatically.
- If you want to rename a creature manually, just use the in-game rename option; the mod won't override it.
