How to make and use Minecraft signs
Crafting
A sign can be made in a matter of minutes and requires very little effort. We will cover that first, for those who just came to this site looking for the crafting instructions. These resources are required to create a sign.
- 6 x Wooden Planks
- 1 x Stick
It’s made only of different wood types, so signs can be found very early on in the game. If you’re quick you can even create one in less time than 30 seconds from the moment that you spawn. Signs are not useful in single-player games. Signs can be used to add immersion to your game world. The image below illustrates the crafting instructions for each sign based on the type of wood plank used.
Usage
Signs are placed like any other block — by using the secondary action button. If placed on a side block, they will face you.

Text in Color
- Java: You can only edit the colors of a sign by using commands. Apply Dye. This can be done by using the secondary action button while the dye is in your hand. Once the dye is applied, the color you see on the sign will be the same as the dye.
