About the mod

Improved Sign Editing is a client-side mod which adds some QoL changes to the process of writing text on signs in-game. Whenever text is typed on a sign, and the next word doesn't fit, it automatically shifts to the next line. No need for guessing whether the next part fits. Also works the other way around, when using backspace, it goes back to the previous line. Functionality can be toggled in the config or in-game via the button.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Improved Sign Editing need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Improved Sign Editing as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Improved Sign Editing require?

Use a file for fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Improved Sign Editing is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
