How to use
This mod adds a Label printer which is an item that can set a label and an icon to a container.
Printing labels:
To use the Label Printer, _right-click_ while holding it, and it'll open a menu where you can set your icon and label. Finally, have paper in your inventory and _shift-right-click_ a chest or compatible container to set them.
Copying labels from existing ones:
When holding the Label Printer, _shift-right-click_ to switch to Copy mode. Then _shift-right-click_ on a container that has a label already set to copy its icon and text.
