However, the inclusion will be slightly different in terms of construction and crafting requirements as compared to the standard signs.

Hanging signs in Minecraft 1.20 update

Hanging signs are quite different from standard signs, although they do have some similarities. What is known is that they are made from wooden logs and chains of wood. And a total of ten different wood types can be used to make them: Oak, Spruce, Jungle, Acacia, Dark Oak, Crimson, Deformed, Mangrove, and the new bamboo wood type.

There will be a total of three types depending on the placement of the Hanging signs blocks. It can be hung from the edge of a block, hung under a full block, or under smaller blocks such as fences or chains.

For the most part, they will work like standard signals. Players will receive and display input text, including some hypertext, on the signs. This means that the color codes will work for dangling signs just like normal ones.

However, the Minecraft Live 2022 trailer also showcased signs to come, which are capable of keeping glowing text if players hold a glowing ink bag for them.

With camels, bamboo wood, chiseled bookcases, and new character skins, Hanging Hints is an interesting new addition to Minecraft with the 1.20 update.
