FAQ
What happens to the drop if I remove the block a sign is attached to?
The sign breaks and drops itself as an item, the same as mining it directly.
Can Oak Sign catch fire?
It does not spread fire like planks, but in most editions it can still ignite from direct contact with lava.
Can I change sign text after placing it?
Yes, until it has been waxed with honeycomb, which locks the text permanently.
What tool mines a sign fastest?
An axe is fastest, though any tool or bare hands will break it since no tool tier is required.
