The Sign Button functions as a hybrid of a Sign and a Wooden Button. It follows specific interaction rules to ensure both the text and the redstone functionality are accessible.

Redstone Functionality

When a player right-clicks the Sign Button, it emits a redstone signal of strength 15 to the block it is attached to and adjacent redstone dust.

  • Pulse Duration: 20 game ticks (1.0 second), matching the behavior of a vanilla wooden button
  • Activation: Can be activated by players. Unlike wooden buttons, it cannot be activated by arrows or projectiles

Text Interaction

  • Initial Placement: When placed, the text editing GUI opens automatically, just like a standard sign.
  • Editing Text: To edit the text after the sign has been placed, the player must Shift + Right-click (Sneak-interact) with an empty hand. This prevents accidental redstone triggers while trying to update labels.
  • Dyeing and Waxing: Players can use Dyes to change text color and Glow Ink Sacs to make text glow. Using a Honeycomb will wax the sign, preventing further text edits while maintaining the button functionality.
