Item Signs

by Roundaround

Item Signs lets players place items on signs, mounted the same way as items in item frames, across hanging and freestanding sign types.

What it does

Item Signs places items onto signs in the same way that item frames hold them. Both hanging and freestanding sign variants are supported, and the sign materials they are made from are covered as well. The mod is written for players who want signs to display or store an item without building a separate frame.

Its installation requires Fabric API on every loader it supports. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, across 17 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, and the code is available under the MIT License, which makes the project open source. A compatibility hook exists for Enhanced Block Entities, and it can disable the Enhanced Signs setting that would otherwise hide mounted items.

The Better Hanging Signs datapack is supported too. Its signs transfer their items when the mod is installed, and the mod cleans up the invisible entities the datapack spawned. Players migrating from the datapack can drop it and use this mod alone, and old items fall to the floor if a sign has no free slots left.

Key features

  1. Items on signs

    Items can be placed onto signs using the same interaction that item frames use.

  2. Hanging and freestanding signs

    Both sign placements are supported, for every sign material covered by the mod.

  3. Enhanced Block Entities hook

    A compatibility option turns off the Enhanced Signs setting that would hide mounted items.

  4. Datapack migration

    Items from the Better Hanging Signs datapack move over, and leftover invisible entities are removed automatically.

  5. Chat notifications

    The mod can notify players in chat when a transferred item cannot fit on a sign and falls to the floor.

How it compares

Cheaper Hanging Signs is a custom-licensed mod that is not open source, for 1.21.11 – 26.3, and it is server required with an optional client. Invisible Item Frame is server required with an optional client, under the MIT License, not open source, and covers 1.20.5 – 26.3. Bamboo Sign Editor is client and server, under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, and is not open source, with files for 1.19 – 26.3, so it works on different sign handling than this mod.
