Birch Hanging Sign
minecraft:birch_hanging_signThe Birch Hanging Sign is a decorative, editable-text block that dangles beneath a ceiling block or between posts using chain brackets, rather than standing on the ground like a regular sign.
Uses
- Labeling and Way-Finding — Place text on the sign and optionally dye it or add a glow ink sac for luminous text; wax it with honeycomb to lock the text against further edits.
- Furnace Fuel — Overworld wood hanging signs can be burned as furnace fuel, smelting four items per sign.
Found In
- Crafted from Chains and Stripped Birch Logs — Two chains plus six stripped birch logs or stems craft six hanging signs at a crafting table.
- Player-placed decoration — Not found in any naturally generated structure; obtained only by crafting.

FAQ
Can a Birch Hanging Sign be edited after placing it?
Yes, by right-clicking it with an empty hand, unless it has been waxed with honeycomb, which locks the text permanently.
Does a Birch Hanging Sign burn?
No, it is not flammable itself, though fire can still spread nearby and destroy it indirectly.
What does breaking a Birch Hanging Sign drop?
It always drops itself as one item, along with any attached text and dye data being reset.
Can I use a Birch Hanging Sign as fuel?
Yes, as long as it is made of Overworld wood; Nether wood hanging signs cannot be used as furnace fuel.
