Sign Tools
by DmitryLovin
Sign Tools lets players copy the text and look of an existing sign and paste it onto new signs, all on the client side.
What it does
Sign Tools is a client-side utility for Fabric and Forge that copies a sign's content and appearance so the same sign can be placed again without retyping it. Newly placed signs can be filled in automatically with the copied content, and the sign editing screen gains extra buttons and some key bindings. Because it runs only on the client, a server does not need it installed.
Key features
Copy and paste sign content
Copies a sign's text and look, so identical signs can be made without typing each line again.
Automatic paste on placement
Newly placed signs can receive the copied content automatically, which saves time when building rows of signs.
Extra sign editing buttons
Additional buttons in the sign editing screen aim to make editing quicker and more convenient.
