NoSignGUI

by CoolAid

NoSignGUI lets players switch off the text editing screen that opens when a sign is clicked, so placing many blank signs stays quick.

What it does

Clicking a sign normally opens an editing screen. With NoSignGUI the screen can be toggled off, so a player can place a sign and move on without stopping to type. The toggle is bound to G by default, and its state is kept in a config file, so it stays off between sessions. Blank signs are the main use: building trap layouts or long rows of signs no longer means opening and closing a screen for each one.

Only the client needs the mod, so a server does not have to run it and players join without it on the server side. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 25 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.3. The code is under the MIT License and is open source, with a public source repository and issue tracker. It was inspired by Masonion's NoSignGUI mod, and it works alongside hanging signs on the client.

Key features

  1. Toggle the sign screen

    A key press turns the sign editing screen off, so clicking a sign places it without opening the text interface.

  2. Default key G

    The toggle is bound to G by default and can be changed in the game's key settings.

  3. State saved in config

    The on or off state is written to a config file and restored the next time the game starts.

  4. Hanging signs support

    The toggle also applies to hanging signs on the client, so both kinds of sign behave the same.

How it compares

Full comparison

Improved Sign Editing is client-side only and is published for 1.19.2 – 26.3 under All rights reserved, so its code is not open source. Sign Icons is client-side only, open source under the MIT License, and built for Fabric and Forge across 1.20 – 1.21.11, so it covers fewer loaders. Signs Faster is client-side only, released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, and supports Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20.1 – 26.3 without Forge.

Questions

Does NoSignGUI need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is required, so it must be installed next to NoSignGUI on Fabric. On other loaders no extra dependency is listed.

Does the server need NoSignGUI?

No. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.

Which game versions are supported?

The mod is published for 25 release versions 1.16.5 – 26.3, with the latest Fabric, Forge and NeoForge files built for 26.2 and 26.3.

Does the toggle work with hanging signs?

Yes. The toggle also applies to hanging signs on the client, so the same switch controls both kinds of sign.
