"Home sweet home."

A Sign is an item that must be crafted.

Appearance

A sign is a rectangle with a brown, wood-like texture. It's about two blocks wide and one block tall, but due to being centered in a block space when placed it overlaps the adjacent block spaces.

When in place, signs appear in the foreground. Blockheads pass behind them.

Where Found

A sign must be created in a woodwork bench. It takes one (1) wood to make a sign.

Using

The primary use of a sign is to display text in a world. The displayed text is centered on the sign in up to three lines, any or all of which may be blank.

Placing a sign will earn a player the "Home Sweet Home" achievement.

Each sign can have its own individual text, which is retained if the sign is moved (just as a chest or shelf's contents travel with their container). Signs are created blank, and when first placed the user is prompted to type in the desired text. Selecting a placed sign prompts for its removal or editing of its text.

Because they appear in the foreground, it should be possible to use signs as a type of "privacy wall" that Blockheads can stand behind and not be easily found.

When introduced in version 1.3, trying to save text for a sign might abort the app. This was corrected in version 1.3.1.
