This is our Minecraft custom sign generator. Pick a wood type, set a text color, toggle glow ink, type your lines, and copy the command to place a styled sign in your world.
Signs in Minecraft can display up to 4 lines of text and come in 11 different wood types. Since the 1.20 update, signs also support text color and glow ink (from glow ink sacs), which makes the text glow and become more readable.
Creating a custom sign through commands is more flexible than placing one manually because you can set the text color and glow effect without needing the ink items. This tool generates the command for you, so you just copy, paste, and place.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many characters can each line have?
Each line supports up to 15 characters. Minecraft truncates any text beyond that limit.
What does glow ink do?
Glow ink makes the text on the sign appear brighter and more legible, especially in dark environments. In-game, you apply glow ink by right-clicking a sign with a glow ink sac.
Can I use multiple text colors on one sign?
This tool sets a single color for all text on the sign. For multi-color signs, you would need to manually construct the command with individual line color components.
Does this work for Bedrock Edition?

What is the difference between crimson and warped signs?
Crimson and warped are Nether wood types. Crimson has a red-tinted appearance, and warped has a teal/green appearance. Unlike regular wood, they do not burn.
