NoSignHitBox
by uganda
NoSignHitBox shrinks the hitbox of standing signs so that nearby actions are no longer blocked by them.
What it does
Standing signs normally catch the crosshair and block attacks, item use and block targeting in the space around them. With NoSignHitBox enabled, the hitboxes of standing signs are reduced, so a player can fight near them, throw Ender Pearls past them, eat food or use items without targeting the sign, and break or open blocks located behind them. The change is limited to standing sign hitboxes; wall-mounted signs keep their original hitboxes.
The mod also reduces the visual outline shown around standing signs when a player looks at them. It is useful in sign-heavy areas, where interacting with chests, doors and containers placed behind signs becomes easier. Because it is client-side only, it can be used on servers without the server installing it, and it can be toggled off at any time.
The mod is published for Fabric only, for game versions 1.21.3 – 1.21.8, with 1.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest file. It is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Smaller standing sign hitboxes
The collision area of standing signs is reduced, so the sign no longer blocks attacks or targeting in its surroundings.
Targeting behind signs
Blocks, chests, doors and containers placed behind a standing sign can be reached and broken without the sign being hit.
Reduced sign outline
The visual outline drawn around standing signs is made smaller when the player looks at them.
Standing signs only
Wall-mounted signs are left unchanged, so their behavior stays as in vanilla.
Toggle option
The effect can be switched off, which restores the normal hitbox of standing signs.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who decorate with standing signs on Fabric, and server owners who want standing sign decorations to stay usable during combat and building, since the mod needs no server-side install.
How it compares
NoSignEdit is open source under the MIT License and runs client-side only on Fabric for 1.21.7 – 1.21.11, which overlaps with this mod's range on 1.21.7 and 1.21.8. Connected Signs is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and needs Fabric for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 with both client and server installed, so it does not cover the same versions or setup. Fluxly Hitboxes is not open source and covers 1.21 – 1.21.10 under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.
