Description

Acacia Hanging Sign is crafted from 2 iron chains and a 2×3 block of stripped acacia logs, and one craft returns 6 signs. Acacia Hanging Sign has hardness 1 and blast resistance 1 (how well it withstands explosions), stacks to 16, and breaks with any tool or by hand, although an axe is fastest. Hanging signs left experimental features and reached the release game in Java Edition 1.20 and Bedrock Edition 1.20.0.

Acacia Hanging Sign labels storage, shows information to other players, or marks areas of interest. Each side carries up to four lines of text, and the lines are narrower than on a regular sign.

Guide

How to craft and hang Acacia Hanging Sign in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Craft the signs

    The crafting table takes 2 iron chains and a 2×3 block of stripped acacia logs, and one craft returns 6 Acacia Hanging Signs.

  2. 2

    Mount it on a side

    A click on the side of a full block places Acacia Hanging Sign on a solid bracket in 4 directions, and the sign keeps floating even after that block is broken.

  3. 3

    Hang it from below

    The underside of a block lets Acacia Hanging Sign hang on parallel chains in 4 directions. A narrow block such as an iron chain, or sneaking while placing, gives chains in an up-arrow shape with 16 directions.

  4. 4

    Write the text

    Using the placed sign opens the edit screen, and each side takes its own text.

  5. 5

    Style and lock

    Dye recolors the text, a Glow Ink Sac makes the text glow, and a plain Ink Sac removes the glow again. Honeycomb waxes the sign and blocks further edits.

Waxing is permanent

Waxing with Honeycomb cannot be reverted, so the wax should go on only after the text is final.
