About this Mod

SignFile

A simple Minecraft Fabric mod for filling out signs from a .json file.

This is my first shot at Java so expect terrible code.

Made for the LiveOverflow SMP server. See the result here.

Made primarily for Minecraft version 1.18.2, however builds for 1.18 - 1.19.2 are included.

Note: 1.19.3 and newer will NOT work.

Setup

Fabric API is required.

Place signs.json into your config folder with the following syntax:

{
"48,121,-256": "First line\nSecond line\nThird line\nFourth line",
"47,121,-256": "this\nmod\nis\npretty cool"  
}

Then simply place a sign at the correct coordinates in-game.

You can place a sign normally with this mod active by sneaking.

Frequently Asked Questions

SignFile server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.19.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is SignFile compatible with fabric?

SignFile officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.19.2, 1.19.1, 1.19. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with SignFile – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if SignFile consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
