Dear team Mojang.
Whilst I was playing minecraft 20w10a enjoying the new nether I decided to rename two of my items in an anvil. And I found I cant rename items.
After many attempts to rename the items in question (a sword,and a pickaxe) I have come to the conclusion that this is a bug.
Thank you for your report!
