by plsst0pyelling

Big Station Signs makes signs with larger text and several customisation options, themed on UK train stations, for Fabric on Minecraft 1.20.1.

What it does

Signs in this mod show bigger text than the vanilla sign and can be adjusted in several ways. The designs take their look from the UK rail network, so a builder can recreate a station board. The signs use the vanilla wood type as their base, so they match the wood the rest of a build already uses.

Client and server both need the mod, so every player on a server that runs it must install it. The code is open source under the MIT License. Files target 1.20.1 only, with 0.3.2 as the latest Fabric build, released on 2026-03-07 on the beta channel.

Several station and operator names appear as designs, including National Rail, Avanti West Coast, London Northeastern Railway, Greater Anglia and West Midlands Railway. Each one follows the same sign layout.

Key features

  1. Larger sign text

    Text on these signs is bigger than on a standard sign, so station names read from further away.

  2. Adjustable customisation

    Several options change how each sign looks, letting builders tune its appearance.

  3. UK train network designs

    The sign styles are inspired by the UK train network, with station boards modeled on real rail operators.

  4. Vanilla wood types

    Signs use the vanilla wood types, so they fit alongside existing wooden building materials.

How it compares

Full comparison

Ghost Train Sound is Fabric only for 1.20.1, client and server, under a custom license that is not open source, so it adds sounds rather than signs. Better Signals is also Fabric for 1.20.1 on client and server, but is published under All rights reserved and is not open source. Signs for Colorful Azaleas targets 1.19.2 on Fabric and Forge, client and server, under the MIT License, which makes it open source. Large Iron Sign covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
