  • Text Utilities adds color and formatting options to signs, book and anvils, but unfortunately it has not been updated to Minecraft 1.21.5 version at the time of writing, and it is a Fabric only mod.
  • Iron Signs adds vibrant, high contrast, painted signs, which can be colored and formatted similarily. It also enables coloring and formatting Vanilla wooden signs exactly tha same way as this mod. I wonder who wrote that mod.

Thanks

Thanks to Chaws for making available the source code of Text Utilities.
