Mangrove Hanging Sign
Mangrove Hanging Sign is a vermillion hanging sign (hangs under blocks or on brackets) for labeling storage, crafted from stripped mangrove logs and iron chains.
Description
Mangrove Hanging Sign brings the vermillion tone of mangrove wood to signage, a natural fit for swamp docks, trading halls, and market stalls. Only the mounting bracket of Mangrove Hanging Sign has collision, so walkways stay clear. Mangrove Hanging Sign survives flowing water. Nearby lava can start fires in air blocks, but the flames never consume Mangrove Hanging Sign. A dye recolors the text, a Glow Ink Sac makes the letters glow (a regular Ink Sac reverses the glow), and a Honeycomb waxes Mangrove Hanging Sign shut against edits. Surplus Mangrove Hanging Signs still smelt 4 items each in a furnace.

Guide
How to Craft and Use a Mangrove Hanging Sign in Minecraft
-
1
Harvest mangrove logs
Travel to a mangrove swamp, cut down mangrove trees with an axe, and collect the mangrove logs.
-
2
Strip the logs
Use an axe on each mangrove log to turn the log into a Stripped Mangrove Log; stripping cannot be undone.
-
3
Craft the signs
Place 2 Iron Chains in the top corners of a crafting table and fill the middle and bottom rows with 6 Stripped Mangrove Logs to craft 6 Mangrove Hanging Signs.
-
4
Hang the sign
Place Mangrove Hanging Sign under a ceiling block for the hanging look, on the side of a block for a self-supporting bracket, or under a narrow block such as an Iron Chain so the chains meet in an up-arrow shape; sneaking while placing under a block forces the up-arrow shape.
-
5
Write and decorate the text
Use Mangrove Hanging Sign to open the text editor and write up to four lines; apply a dye to recolor the text, a Glow Ink Sac for glowing letters, an Ink Sac to undo the glow, and a Honeycomb to lock Mangrove Hanging Sign against edits for good.
A Mangrove Hanging Sign hung from a ceiling drops as an item as soon as the block above is removed, while a sign mounted on a wall bracket stays floating in place.

Frequently asked questions
How do you craft a Mangrove Hanging Sign?
Combine 6 Stripped Mangrove Logs with 2 Iron Chains on a crafting table, placing the chains in the top corners. The recipe yields 6 Mangrove Hanging Signs.
How much text fits on a Mangrove Hanging Sign?
Mangrove Hanging Sign shows up to four lines of text. The lines are narrower than on a regular sign, so long words fit less easily.

How do you lock a Mangrove Hanging Sign against edits?
Use a Honeycomb on Mangrove Hanging Sign to apply wax; waxing blocks all further text edits and cannot be undone.
