Word Overflow
by 70CentsApple
Word Overflow changes how text is cut off on sign and book screens, so longer text can be read in full on the client.
What it does
Word Overflow is a Fabric mod that modifies the truncation logic used by sign blocks and book screens. Where vanilla trims a line or page, the mod lets the full text show. It only changes how text is rendered and does not alter the saved content of signs or books.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player needs it installed and a server can run without it. Builds exist for Fabric across 21 release versions. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Full sign text
Text on signs is displayed without being trimmed, so longer messages remain visible.
Full book pages
Book pages show their complete text instead of being cut short on screen.
Render-only change
The mod changes only how text is drawn, leaving the content of signs and books unchanged.
