LegacyCanEditSign

by KSmc's Team

On Minecraft 1.8.9 with Fabric, LegacyCanEditSign makes a sign editable again whenever a player right-clicks it.

What it does

The mod restores the ability to edit a placed sign after it has been written, which later versions of the game removed. It is a small Fabric utility for 1.8.9 only, released under the MIT License, and the code is open source on GitHub. Only the client needs it, so the server does not have to install anything, and players on a server that does not run the mod still get the feature through their own client.

Key features

  1. Re-editable signs

    Right-clicking a placed sign opens its text editor again, so the text can be changed at any time.

  2. Client-side operation

    The change happens on the player's client, so servers can run without the mod and players still edit normally.

  3. Minimal scope

    The mod does one thing and adds no blocks, items or commands to the game.

Does the server need LegacyCanEditSign installed?

What the author says

This is an extremely simple mod that allows you to edit a sign again by right-clicking it, and it has been open-sourced on GitHub. Tip: This mod is a client-side only mod. However, even if the server does not have this mod installed, players on the client side can still use the mod normally on the server.
