Timo Numbers and letters
by TiHi2k8
Timo Numbers and letters adds wall, floor and ceiling blocks shaped like letters, digits, a minus sign and a space, for labeling rooms and signs.
What it does
Timo Numbers and letters adds placeable blocks that carry letters A through Z, the digits 0 through 9, a minus sign and a space. Each character can be set on walls, floors and ceilings, which the author added because the first version only handled walls. The blocks are meant for label-style signs, such as shop signs, where the author found the default signs too small and plain.
The mod was built with the Mcreator development software. Players who want plain text on a build can use it for labels and room names. Installation is for Forge on 1.12.2 only. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge alone, with version 1.3 as the latest file from 2024-06-27.

What the author says
You always wanted to label your shop but signs are too boring and too small. Since I have the solution after a little work I created a mod with the development software Mcreator where you have numbers, letters and a point, a minus and a space. But why only on the walls, why not on the floor? I can only say one thing…
