PictureSign
by Motschen
PictureSign lets players show custom images, GIFs, audio and video on signs, and it runs entirely on the client.
What it does
Signs in a world can display pictures that players load into them, and the mod supports still images, animated GIFs, audio and video. Pictures can be rescaled, moved and rotated freely on the sign face. Because the work happens in the client, a server does not need to install anything for the effect to appear to a player.
Fabric API and WATERMeDIA: Multimedia API are required. The mod is published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt across 14 release versions, 1.17 – 1.21.4, with snapshot builds also available, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.
