Sign Builder

Sign Builder Mod 🎨

Sign Builder is a cross-platform Minecraft mod (Forge & Fabric) that allows players to seamlessly build, color, animate, and now materialize custom 3D signs. Fully balanced for Survival mode, this mod provides highly detailed characters, automated building tools, a dynamic painting system, advanced glowing neon mechanics, a dedicated Sign Press machine, and an expansive Dynamic Material System!

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Architectury API is now a required dependency to run this mod on both Forge and Fabric! (Fabric users also need the Fabric API).

✨ Features

• Dynamic Material System (NEW!): Signs are no longer just concrete! Seamlessly integrate different base materials (currently supporting all wood types, Iron Block, and Polished Andesite).
• 3D Letters, Numbers & Symbols: Highly detailed, custom-modeled letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9), and an extensive set of symbols. All blocks feature refined hitboxes that adjust perfectly on floors or walls.
• The Sign Press: Your dedicated workstation for crafting all sign blocks. It is fully compatible with hoppers, allowing you to easily automate the input of raw materials and the output of crafted signs!
• The Blueprint & Undo: Say goodbye to placing blocks one by one. Type your text in the custom GUI and watch the mod build it instantly. Made a typo? Use the red Undo button to safely remove your last placed text and refund your materials.
• The Wrench & Neon Lights: Turn any sign into a living, flowing neon display! Apply 7 distinct light modes: Normal, Blink, Flicker, Wave, Breathing, Proximity, and Night Shift.
• Paint Brush & Custom Palette: Go beyond the vanilla palette by mixing your own RGB/Hex codes. Save up to 14 custom colors or use the animated Rainbow Mode for a continuously cycling color effect.
• Smart Fill & Eyedropper: Sneak (Shift) + Right-Click the air to toggle "Smart Fill", now featuring intuitive green and red circular visual indicators on your HUD. This allows you to paint or animate entire connected words with a single click instantly thanks to optimistic client-side rendering.
• Advancements: A brand-new advancement system featuring unique challenges to guide and reward your sign-building journey.
• Global Localization: Fully translated into 8 languages (EN, TR, RU, ES, ZH, DE, FR, IT).

🛠️ How to Use

🎒 Survival Mode & Crafting Guide

Sign Builder is perfectly balanced for your Survival worlds with realistic loot logic!

• Dynamic Loot Drops: Breaking a sign normally now dynamically drops its constituent parts: 3x White Concrete, 1x Base Material Item (e.g., Oak Planks, Iron Block), and 1x Glowstone Dust (if it was glowing).
• Silk Touch Persistence: Mining a sign with a Silk Touch tool now flawlessly retains all custom NBT data (color, material, glowing state, and wrench configurations) directly on the dropped item, allowing exact redeployment!
• Blueprint Economy: The Blueprint consumes exact letter blocks directly from your inventory. Tools consume durability upon use.
