Command Signs
by paraf0x
Command Signs lets a player write a command on a sign and run it with a shift and right-click, so a sign can carry a command that fires on click.
What it does
Command Signs is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 – 26.3 that reads the text on a sign and runs it as a chat command when a player shift-clicks it. The command goes on the third line of the sign, and the fourth line can hold the part that fits there. The text must begin with a slash, as it would in the chat box, and a sign can be placed in any oak or birch type from the game.
The mod is client-side only, so a player who installs it can use signs on a server that does not run it, and the server needs nothing added. Fabric API is required and must be installed next to it. The license is MIT and the source code and issue tracker are public. The mod was first published on 2026-03-05 and last updated on 2026-09-17.
Command Signs is published for 1.21.11, 26.1.2 and 26.3, so a player on any of these three game versions can use it without changing the rest of the setup.
Key features
Sign-based commands
A sign whose third line holds a command runs that command when a player interacts with it.
Quick execution
Holding shift and right-clicking a sign runs its command at once, without opening the sign for editing.
Wax support
A waxed sign cannot be edited by accident, and a sign locked with honeycomb keeps its command text unchanged.

Use cases
Clickable command shortcuts
A player can place a sign by a base or a shop and attach a frequently used command to it, so one click runs it.
Protecting finished signs
Waxing a sign with honeycomb stops accidental edits, so a command written on it stays in place.
Who it’s for: Players who want to run chat commands from signs in the world, and players who use signs as labelled buttons on a survival or creative world. The mod is not needed on a server, since only the client reads the sign text.
How it compares
NoSignEdit is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it is published for 1.21.7 – 1.21.11 and does not run commands from signs. Sign Preview is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.20.1 – 26.3, and it shows how a sign will look before it is placed. Wax Instead is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that runs on client and server under All rights reserved, so both sides need it, unlike this mod.
