πͺ§ SignBuilder v1.3 β The Mini Letter & Grid Update!
Welcome to SignBuilder v1.3! This major update introduces mini letters with the new Grid Mode, massive blueprint upgrades, comprehensive tool integration, performance optimizations, and important bug fixes.
β¨ New Features & Grid (Mini Letter) Mode
- Sub-Grid Placement (2x2, 3x3, 4x4): Toggle grid mode with
Shift + Vto place multiple smaller letters inside a single block space (up to 16 mini letters per block!). - Dual-Sided Placement: Both the front and back faces of a grid block can independently store and display letters.
- Holographic Preview: Real-time visual holograms now guide your crosshair to the exact targeted sub-cell before placing.
- Full Angle Support: Mini letters seamlessly adapt to floor, ceiling, and 45-degree diagonal backplates with pixel-perfect alignment.
π Sign Blueprint Enhancements
- Grid Blueprint Mode: Design and stamp mini letters directly from the Blueprint with Single-Block and Multi-Block word flow modes.
- Smart Banner Stamping: Banner mode now starts placing text directly from where your crosshair aims (horizontal & vertical), instead of forcing placement from the edges.
- Backplate Overflow Protection: Prevents text from spilling out into empty air. Letters that exceed backplate boundaries appear red in preview and are safely excluded.
- Text Persistence: Your entered text and configuration settings are now preserved across GUI sessions.
π¨ Tool Integration & Lighting
- Paint Brush & Eyedropper: Paint individual mini letters with custom colors, materials (wood, metals, etc.), or rainbow effects. Use
Shift + Right Clickto paint the underlying backplate directly. - Wrench & Light Modes: Apply all 11 lighting modes (Blink, Pulse, Wave, Motion Sensor, etc.) to Grid signs and empty backplates.
- Wave Mode Sequencing: Improved lighting wave animations to run in a smooth sequential chaser across all angles and diagonals.
βοΈ Drops & Survival Balance
- True Block Drops: Letter blocks and backplates now drop the actual block item itself when mined without Silk Touch, rather than 3x White Concrete.
π Bug Fixes & Performance
- Render Fast-Path (Mesh Caching): Major rendering optimization that eliminates per-frame allocations and lag spikes, ensuring buttery-smooth framerates with zero GC stutter.
- UI Polish: Resolved overlapping text labels and repositioned symbol buttons cleanly within the GUI.
π Localization
- Complete localization support updated across 13 languages (English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese).
Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
