FAQ
What tool do I need to mine a Dark Oak Sign?
None required — it breaks with any tool or bare hands and always drops itself as an item.
Can a Dark Oak Sign catch fire?
Standing and wall signs are non-flammable and will not ignite even if placed above lava.
How do I stop someone editing my sign's text?
Right-click the sign with a honeycomb to wax it, which locks the text permanently against further edits.
Is it affected by Silk Touch or Fortune?
No, it always drops exactly one sign regardless of any enchantments used to mine it.
