Dusk's Pixel Accurate Signs
Dusk's Pixel Accurate Signs changes how sign models render, with scaling, distance and text-offset options for Fabric on 1.21.1.
What it does
Signs are drawn as full-scale entity block models at two thirds of their normal scale, and the text on them can stay readable from a longer distance. Sign textures can be reflected with the actual planks and log texture, and the warped and crimson sign stems have an animated texture. The sign shape itself can be altered through a resource pack, and the mod's configuration sets the positions of the text and the rotations of the sign faces.
The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it and a server can run without it. It depends on Fzzy Config, which must be installed next to it on Fabric. Files are published for Fabric for 1.21.1, and the source code and issue tracker are public. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source. Snapshot builds are not part of this card.
Key features
Scaled entity sign models
Signs render as full-scale entity block models at two thirds of their usual scale, changing how they look in the world.
Longer sign render distance
Signs stay visible at greater distances, and the text on them can render at entire-block distances in chosen namespaces.
Namespace list
A configurable list of mod namespaces can be set to allow or deny, choosing whether vanilla or custom sign models load for each namespace.
Text offsets
XYZ offsets move the text on signs, so custom resource packs can place text where they need it, while sign outlines follow the sign shape.
