Description

Pale Oak Hanging Sign is a wooden hanging sign made from pale oak, the pale wood introduced with the Pale Garden in Minecraft 1.21.4 (hanging signs themselves exist since 1.20). Craft six Stripped Pale Oak Logs with two Chains to get six Pale Oak Hanging Signs at once. Unlike a standing sign, it hangs beneath a block or between two supports and can be angled when placed against the side of a block. Write up to text lines on both the front and back, recolor the text with any dye, make it glow with a glow ink sac, and wax it with a honeycomb to lock the text from edits. It is flammable, so keep it away from lava and fire. The Pale Oak Hanging Sign works in both Java and Bedrock Edition.

Java & Bedrock Guide

How to craft and use a Pale Oak Hanging Sign in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Strip pale oak logs

    Chop pale oak in the Pale Garden and right-click the logs with an axe to make stripped pale oak logs.

  2. 2

    Craft the hanging sign

    Place six stripped pale oak logs in two rows with two chains above the ends to get six hanging signs.

  3. 3

    Hang it

    Place it under a block, under a fence, or between two supports — it will hang or angle automatically.

  4. 4

    Write and style

    Type on both sides, then use a dye to recolor or a glow ink sac to make the text glow.

  5. 5

    Lock it

    Apply a honeycomb to wax the hanging sign so the text can no longer be edited.

It can be angled

Placed against the side of a block, a hanging sign tilts at an angle instead of hanging straight down.
