Where and how a sign is placed determines additional features. Placed on top of solid blocks or another sign, it will tend to have vertical "wood" supports on either end, or one in the middle if there is a missing block beside the one it's on. Placed on the underside (but not on top) of solid blocks or another sign, it will tend to have "metal" links at the corners. Placed beside (but not on top or underneath) a solid block it will tend to add a fancy "metal" support above it. Placed on a back wall but not adjacent to a solid block or another sign, it will tend to have no additional features. (See the [[Sign#Gallery|gallery]] for examples.)

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) and does not affect stacking.  The fist sign a player creates has the words "HOME SWEET HOME' entered. Subsequent signs start 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 limited "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.
