EditableSigns (Legacy)
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
This resource is now archived (won't be updated to newer versions) as Minecraft 1.20 finally added this much-needed functionality once and for all!
Simple one class plugin to allow signs to be edited by right-clicking it (while main hand empty + offhand not holding any dye item). Only works if you have permission to place blocks at that location. (If BlockPlaceEvent is not cancelled)
There is a permission editablesigns.use that is true by default There is also a command /editablesigns reload with the permission editablesigns.reload which does what you think it does
(Tho not tested, should in theory work on 1.8 - 1.16 as well)
