Beemo's Boats: Signs
Beemo's Boats: Signs puts Swedish seaway marks and prohibition signs into Minecraft, in sizes from small to big, for marking waterways and docks.
What it does
The mod adds more than 50 seaway marks in several sizes, along with mounts in thin and thick versions. The sign designs follow Swedish seaway marks published by the Swedish Transport Agency, so the set is limited to Swedish signage. Players can use the blocks to show allowed and prohibited actions, maximum speed, height, depth and width restrictions, and the ends of docks and land.
Signs can be written on, and the text is set in the Tratex typeface to look realistic. Crafting recipes are included for the sign blocks and mounts. The mod is published for Forge on 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its code is open source under the MIT License.
