Big Sign Writer
by chililisoup
With Big Sign Writer, players draw large, multi-line characters and symbols on signs using the sign edit screen.
What it does
Each large character or symbol is built from ordinary Unicode characters that exist in the vanilla Minecraft font. Because of this, the lettering can appear on most servers and be seen by players who do not have the mod installed. Certain resource packs may cause display problems.
The mod includes several fonts and hundreds of symbols. They are reachable straight from the vanilla sign edit screen, so no extra item or menu is needed to pick one. The behavior can be tuned in an in-game config screen, which opens from the sign edit screen or from Mod Menu on Fabric and NeoForge. The config screen depends on YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), which is optional.
The mod is a client-side only installation, so the server does not need it. Builds are released for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the code is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Snapshot builds are also published.
Key features
Large multi-line lettering
Characters are drawn across several lines of a sign, producing text far larger than a standard sign can show.
Built-in fonts
Several fonts are included, so the same message can be written in different letter styles.
Symbol library
Hundreds of symbols are available from the sign edit screen for use as sign decoration.
In-game configuration
An in-game config screen lets players change how the signs and symbols behave, without editing files.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who build shops, bases or decorated areas and want larger, more visible sign text. Multiplayer players can use it without requiring every other player to install it, because the characters are standard vanilla glyphs.
