Features

  • Sign & Item Frame Passthrough: Access chests, shulker boxes, barrels, etc behind signs by right-clicking the sign
    • Interact with Item Frames normally by shift(sneak) + right-click
    • enableFrameReachExtension matches the reach on item frames to the reach on blocks, so passthrough works from as far away as clicking the chest itself. Uses and attacks on any other entity are still rejected past vanilla reach, so it grants no melee advantage. Off by default
  • Item Frames Share Blocks - Item Frames can hang in the same space as a block that isn't a full block, such as a trapdoor, instead of popping off after a few seconds. Off by default
  • Invisible Item Frames - Use Amethyst Shards to turn item frames invisible
    • You can configure it to use Glass Panes instead
  • Signs Retain - Breaking a sign will retain that sign's text, color and glowing. Put the sign in a crafting window to reset it
  • Sign Copy - Right-clicking a sign with a sign(or stack of signs) in your hand will copy the text to the held signs
  • Tooltip text for Sign Copy and Retain is generated server-side, no client-side mod required
    Sign Tooltip Example Sign Tooltip Example
  • Stop Sign editor from opening when placing new signs. Off by default
  • All features are configurable in config/improvedsigns.json5
