Sign Icons
by Orbitul
Sign Icons shows item and block icons on signs and hanging signs in chat, in the style of Bedrock Edition.
What it does
Signs and hanging signs can render the in-game icon of a block or item, using a Type:item id written into the sign text. The icon appears in place of the raw text on the client, so the display changes while the stored text stays the same. Players without the mod see the plain text as it was written.
Environment: only the client needs it, so players install it and servers run without it. Sign Icons is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric and Forge, with files for 1.20 – 1.21.11.

Hanging signs render the icon the way Bedrock Edition does, which is the look the mod copies.
Client-side display
Only the visual output changes, and the underlying sign text is left untouched for other players.

What the author says
Type:item_id: on a sign or hanging sign and it renders as the item's in-game icon, Bedrock-style. Purely visual/client-side the raw text stays as-is, so players without the mod just see the plain text.
