How do I make a sign's text float without the wooden background?
Place a normal wooden sign and write your text on it, then hold a Phantom Membrane in your hand and right-click the sign to hide the background. The text will appear to float in mid-air while the wooden board disappears.
Can I make text float on signs I already placed?
Yes, the invisibility effect works on existing signs. Just hold a Phantom Membrane and right-click any placed sign to toggle its background visibility on or off.
What's the difference between glass signs and stained glass signs?
Glass signs are made from clear glass and let you see through them completely, while stained glass signs come in 16 different colors to match your base's aesthetic. Both types also have hanging versions available.
How do I craft colored glass signs?
Craft stained glass signs using glass blocks and sticks in the crafting menu—the exact recipe depends on which color you want to make. Each of the 16 colors has its own crafting recipe.
Do hanging glass signs work the same way as regular glass signs?
Yes, hanging signs function identically to their regular counterparts and come in all the same varieties: clear glass and all 16 stained glass colors. They just hang from the ceiling or overhang instead of standing upright.
Can I use Phantom Membrane on glass signs to hide their background too?
No, the invisibility effect only works on wooden signs. Glass and stained glass signs are already transparent or semi-transparent by design, so there's no background to hide.
What happens if I lose the Phantom Membrane I used to hide a sign?
You can toggle the invisibility on and off anytime by holding a Phantom Membrane and right-clicking the sign again, so you don't need to keep the same membrane. Just grab another one when you want to make changes.
Can I use colored glass signs to organize my base by category?
Yes, you can create a color-coded sign system by using different stained glass colors for different areas or purposes—for example, red signs for storage, blue for farms, green for workshops. This makes navigation and organization much easier.
Do glass signs have the same text limits as wooden signs?
Glass signs function as normal Minecraft signs, so they follow the same text capacity and formatting rules as wooden signs do.
Will this mod cause lag if I use a lot of floating text displays?
The mod is lightweight since it only modifies sign rendering and adds new block types, but placing hundreds of signs anywhere in Minecraft can impact performance depending on your system. Use them strategically for the best experience.
