SignTastic
by McJty
SignTastic lets players add images, larger text and custom styling to signs, and its configurator copies one sign's setup onto others.
What it does
Signs gain a set of display options: text up to eight lines, a configurable background and text color, bright or dark text, and a choice of icons. The texture of the sign slab can be changed as well, so a sign can show a picture instead of plain wood.
Three block shapes are offered, with the option to render a block without its background so the sign seems to hover. The configurator copies a finished setup to other signs, which keeps groups of signs looking alike. A sign user interface is included for editing these options.
The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge across 9 release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and its source code is public. It needs both the server and every player, and it requires McJtyLib. The One Probe is optional and adds information to the probe overlay when installed.
Key features
Images on signs
Signs can display images in place of, or alongside, plain text.
Eight lines of text
Each sign can show up to eight lines of text, more than a vanilla sign.
Background and text colors
The background and text color of a sign are both configurable, and text can be made bright or dark.
Sign configurator
A configurator item copies one sign's configuration to other signs, so several signs can be made to look the same.
Three block forms
Flat, slab and full block sign forms are available, and a transparent option gives a hovering look.
