Sign Tweaks

by TerminalMC

Sign Tweaks changes the sign editor so players can write, wrap, select and copy multi-line text on signs with keyboard shortcuts.

FabricNeoForgeApache License 2.0Open source1.21 – 26.3

What it does

The mod wraps long lines automatically and lets players insert manual line breaks, with an optional indicator showing where they fall. Arrow keys move the cursor continuously, while the home and end keys step through positions. When a line is added or removed, the lines below shift to match, and several lines can be selected at once.

Copied text keeps its line-by-line formatting in the mod's internal memory, so pasting restores the layout. Each feature can be switched off in the config screen. The mod depends on Cloth Config API and Mod Menu, and ClickThrough Plus is optional. It is installed on Fabric or NeoForge, runs on the client, and is published for 1.21 – 26.3 across 17 release versions, under the Apache License 2.0 and open source.

Key features

  1. Automatic line wrapping

    Text that exceeds the width of a sign line wraps onto the next line without the player pressing a key.

  2. Manual line breaks

    Players can place their own line breaks, and an optional indicator marks each one while editing.

  3. Keyboard cursor movement

    Arrow keys move the cursor continuously, and home and end keys move it in steps across the sign.

  4. Multi-line selection and copy

    Several lines can be selected, copied and pasted as a block, with each line's formatting kept intact.

Questions

Does Sign Tweaks need Cloth Config API?

Yes. Cloth Config API is a required dependency, so it has to be installed next to the mod on either loader.

Which mods conflict with Sign Tweaks?

Improved Sign Editing, Sign Copy, Sign Edit Lite and Sign Tools are explicitly incompatible, because they modify the same sign editor code.

What should be done if an unexpected incompatibility appears?

The author asks that such cases be reported through the issue tracker, since other mods that alter the sign editor are generally assumed to work.
