Chat

  • The only exception is the bamboo hanging sign, which can be crafted with 2 chains and 6 bamboo planks, resulting 2 hanging signs.
• Can be hung up in the following ways:
  • Underneath a block that can provide support in the center.
    • When the hanging sign is placed underneath a full block, the chains are on parallel sides of the sign. Signs in this configuration can be placed in 4 cardinal directions (North, South, East, and West)
    • When the hanging sign is placed underneath a non-full block, such as a fence, or when placed while sneaking, the chains take on an upside-down v-shape. Signs in this configuration can be placed in 16 different angles.
    • Signs that are placed in this way break when the supporting block is removed.
  • Underneath another hanging sign.
    • When the hanging sign is placed in an angle that is the same or the opposite of the supporting hanging sign, the chains are on parallel sides of the sign.
    • When the hanging sign is placed in any other angle, or when placed while sneaking, the chains take on an upside-down v-shape.
    • Signs that are placed in this way break when the supporting block is removed.
  • Attached to the solid side of a block.
    • When the hanging sign is placed in this way, an additional support appears, which is a horizontal wood bar matching the wood type of the sign. The chain is on parallel sides of the sign, connected to the stick. Signs in this configuration can be placed in 4 cardinal directions (North, South, East, and West).
    • Signs that are placed in this way remain hanging in the air when the supporting block is removed.
• Just like regular signs, the text on the hanging signs is on the front, and the back side is blank.
• Just like regular signs, the text on the hanging signs can be dyed.
• Just like regular signs, hanging signs can be waterlogged.
