by TriLinder

SignFile is a client-side Fabric utility that fills out sign text from a signs.json file placed in the config folder.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.18 – 1.19.2

What it does

Sign text is read from a signs.json file in the config folder, using the syntax the mod documents. Each entry gives the coordinates where a sign should be filled. Placing a sign at those coordinates in-game applies the stored text, so a builder can reproduce a set of signs without typing each line by hand. The mod requires Fabric API and is released under the MIT License as open source, with files for 1.18 – 1.19.2 on Fabric.

Key features

  1. Config-driven sign text

    Sign contents are written into signs.json in the config folder, following the syntax set by the mod.

  2. Coordinate matching

    Text is applied to a sign only when it is placed at the coordinates listed in the config file.

  3. Sneak to place normally

    With the mod active, sneaking while placing a sign skips the filled text and places a plain sign.

What the author says

A simple Minecraft Fabric mod for filling out signs from a.json file. This is my first shot at Java so expect terrible code.
