Minecraft Hanging Signs: How to craft & how to use

Looking to improve your Minecraft home or just add a little flair to your newest build? Look no further than some Hanging Signs. Here’s how to make them and use them in your world.

The Minecraft 1.20 update has introduced a variety of new elements from the adorable Sniffer to a brand-new biome. However, it’s also added a new way to display messages or make your home look that much better through Hanging Signs.

However, with such a new and highly anticipated addition now in the game, it leaves a little confusion regarding how to make them. So, to help out with that, here’s how to craft Hanging Signs in Minecraft as well as how to use them in your own world.

How to craft Hanging Signs in Minecraft

Mojang

Only two ingredients are needed to make Hanging Signs.

Crafting Hanging Signs in Minecraft is relatively easy and only requires two items:

• Six stripped log
• Two iron chains

You’ll be able to get hold of stripped logs by grabbing an axe and right-clicking it on a log. Doing so will strip the bark from the tree and allow you to mine the block, which will enter your inventory as a stripped log.

Then, the iron chains are a little trickier. You’ll need to hunt for two iron ingots. Then, place one of your iron ingots in a furnace to create iron nuggets. After this, head over to your crafting table and place one iron ingot in the middle and one iron nugget on top and underneath the ingot. Then, the Iron chain will be yours.

After you have the two iron chains and the six stripped logs, head to a crafting table and place the six stripped logs on the bottom six slots. Then in the top left and top right, place your iron chains. After this, the Hanging Signs are created.
