by horiuchii

What it does

The mod adds two new variants of hanging sign, one that hangs from the ceiling and one that is mounted on a wall, and lets a sign carry text on its back side as well as its front. Signs can be dyed or glowed, and a sign can be locked with a slimeball so that only its text can be read. Items and blocks can be displayed on both sides of a sign.

Improved BTA! Signs is aimed at building and decoration in BTA worlds. It requires HalpLibe. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for BTA Babric, for b1.7.3 only, and the source is available under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which makes the code open source.

Key features

  1. Hanging and wall hanging signs

    Two new sign variants can be placed hanging from a block above or mounted on a wall, as a bottom-side sign.

  2. Editable back side

    Both sides of a sign can be edited, so text can be written on the back as well as the front.

  3. Dyeing and glowing

    Sign text can be dyed or made to glow, and a sign can be changed in picture or its text kept separate.

  4. Display of items and blocks

    Items and blocks can be shown on either side of a sign, and a sign locked with slimeball keeps its contents hidden from others.

  5. Smaller fixes

    The vertical offset of the Done button is removed, and sign posts that are unpainted are fixed.

How it compares

Full comparison

Modern Paintings Backport BTA is a client and server mod for BTA Babric on b1.7.3, released under CC0 1.0 Universal and open source, so it adds paintings rather than sign behavior. Alternative Lamps BTA covers lighting for the same version and environment under the same license. BTA Dynamic Projector is client-side only and open source under CC0 1.0 Universal, so only the client needs it, while Improved BTA! Signs needs the server as well.
