QuickSigns

A Hytale plugin that adds customizable floating text to signs with an intuitive editing interface.

Features

• Custom UI for Sign Text - When you place a sign, a UI automatically opens allowing you to enter up to 3 lines of text (16 characters per line)
• Floating Hologram Display - Text appears as floating holograms above the sign, visible to all players
• Persistent Storage - Sign text is saved and automatically reloads when the server restarts
• Automatic Cleanup - Holograms are automatically removed when signs are broken

Usage

1. Place any editable sign block
2. A text input UI will automatically appear
3. Enter your text (up to 3 lines, 16 characters each)
4. Click "Confirm" to create the hologram text
5. The text will appear floating above your sign

Technical Details

• Text is displayed using projectile entities with custom names
• Sign locations and hologram UUIDs are tracked in sign_holograms.txt
• Adjacent block detection ensures holograms are cleaned up when supporting blocks are destroyed
• Uses Hytale's Custom UI system for the text input interface

Configuration

No configuration required - works out of the box! But has an auto-generated config that you can enable debug mode in.

Building

mvn clean install

The compiled plugin will be in target/quicksigns-<version>.jar

TODO

• [ ] Allow sign editing with use button
• [ ] Add support for lumberjack sign if anyone cares
