Custom Sign Block

[vital granite]

I am wondering if there is a way to make a custom sign block. I don't know where to start so any help would be appreciated. I am trying to make a road sign block that you can type the road name in.

It's not possible because it's an block-entity.

[vital granite]

Oh that's too bad

[vital granite]

Is it possible to make a block that asks for text through a ui form and then have text hover right infront of the block so it looks like its a sign?

I have no idea, maybe. I remember they did something in the last previews with a new text mechanic, but I didn't look into it much.

Ok thanks

[vital granite]

Im pretty sure it dissapears on world reload maybe

[charred obsidian]

Well, I don't know, I haven't tested it or searched much.

[vital granite]

I dont really know scripting either so im screwed either way

[charred obsidian]

Well, testing is necessary; try asking AI for help if you feel it's needed.

[vital granite]

Yeah I'll figure it out

[vital granite]

Do you know if the text will be available in the normal release anytime soon? or will it always only be in the preview version?

[charred obsidian]

I think that during an entire cycle, beta levels are stable and the next cycle is stable, in this case 26.30.

[vital granite]

So your saying it will eventually release?

[charred obsidian]

Probably
