SignPlus
by MrPalel
SignPlus keeps sign text when a sign is broken, lost in an explosion or left without its support block, and lets players pick up a sign with its contents intact.
What it does
A sign that is broken, destroyed by an explosion or lost when its support block disappears keeps its inscriptions, so the text returns when the sign is placed again. Text is stored with four lines on each side, along with its formatting, colors and glowing state. Waxed signs remain protected after placement, and the mod covers normal, wall-hanging and hanging signs across the vanilla wood types.
Held signs are drawn as small versions of the real block models rather than flat inventory icons, and the text stays visible while the sign is carried, including in the third-person view. Keyboard settings control how a sign is flipped and how its contents are preserved, and the Mod Menu and Cloth Config options let server owners and players change these behaviors directly in the game.
SignPlus is published for Fabric only, across seven release versions: 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and the 26.1 and 26.2 series, with 1.0.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest file. It requires Fabric API, and Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are needed for its settings screen. The mod runs on client or server, and either side can run it on its own. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Preserved inscriptions
Sign text survives breaking, explosions and loss of the support block, and returns when the sign is placed again.
Waxed protection
Waxed signs stay protected after they are placed, so their text cannot be edited by accident.
Held sign models
Signs in hand appear as small copies of their block models, with the text still readable.
Sign drop control
Sign drops are handled so that breaking a sign does not create duplicate additional drops.
Configurable flip and preservation
Flip key, flip behavior and the way sign contents are kept can be adjusted in the settings.

What the author says
SignPlus preserves the contents of signs when they are broken. Place the dropped sign again, and its text, formatting, colors, glow, back side, and waxed state will return with it. Have you found a bug? Let me know about it on my Discord!
