Ackirb here
And I'm bringing you a large collection of customized instructional/decorative signs for use in the world!

Sick of the boring default sign texture?
Tired of the minecraft-style sign that only displays text?

These signs each display a fairly high-quality image of a real sign (see screenshot below), and are quite easy to read at a distance. Additionally, each one displays a short string of text that describes/repeats what the sign says when you "point" at it.

I have not yet created any crafting recipes, as it is somewhat difficult to create a unique recipe for each sign.
Any suggestions for recipes would be greatly appreciated.

I will likely add more signs in the future, so check back for updates!

As always, if you have any suggestions or have any specific requests for this mod, feel free to let me
know via forum, or email me at ackirb@gmail.com

There are some more sign mods out here, among at least one that looks a bit like this, DanDuncombe's viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6285#p95146

But that's okay, there are a lot of mods that are the same but at the same time still are different (ores, tools, blocks, light/glass).

That said, your signs are new, decorative and they really look great.

You only need to rename it to prevent naming conflicts, since there's already a mod called signs (existing sign-names: sign, signs, signsplus and locked_sign)

(I would have liked to give links of those too, but I'm apparantly not that good with the search funtion of this forum. It seems the easiest way finding them is browsing through the mod releases and maybe modding general topics).

Hey, thanks for the heads-up. I'll re-think the name of this mod.

I have actually seen some of these other similar sign mods (although not Dan's). And while they do provide some great ideas, they didn't have the variety nor the customization that I was looking for.

Hello
Just renamed the Folder to signs_2 and changed all appearances of signs: in the init.lua to signs_2:.
That´s all.
Fine looking new signs.
Thanks,
JPR

Hm :-) And if you want to make sure players gather in one area, put a "restricted area - admins only" sign there :)

Hahaha, that is actually very true. I guess you could always protect your building with doors / protection mods and unbreakable nodes (see my other mod viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9186), and just use the sign for show ;)

You mean you re-textured all of the signs? I'm completely okay with that, but just out of curiosity, may I see what you've done?
