TipSign

TipSign

Place supporter links and long-form text directly in your Minecraft world.

TipSign adds a craftable sign-post block that lets server operators, map makers, and content creators embed multi-page text with one-click Ko-fi and Patreon buttons — bridging in-game exploration with real-world community support.

Features

Tip Sign Block

• Custom sign-post model with vertical post, mounted board, and decorative cap
• Place on the ground (standing) or on walls (flush-mounted)
• 8 background color themes: Oak, Dark Oak, Spruce, Birch, Crimson, Warped, Stone, Obsidian
• Title renders directly on the block face in the world
• Animated “Right-click me!” indicator appears when players look at the sign

Long-Form Text

• Write up to 50 pages of content per sign (configurable)
• Full Minecraft formatting code support (colors, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough)
• Book-style page navigation in a weathered-plank UI

Supporter Links

• Ko-fi and Patreon buttons with brand colors, displayed on every page
• One click opens the creator’s support page in the player’s browser
• Confirmation dialog before opening external links (configurable)

Inline Hyperlinks

• Embed [link text](url) in body text for clickable links
• Server-configurable domain whitelist for security
• Can be disabled server-wide via config

Permissions & Data Safety

• Only the sign owner (or server ops) can edit content
• Configurable break protection — non-owners can’t destroy placed signs
• Breaking a sign preserves all data in the dropped item — place it again with everything intact
• Explicit “Delete All Content” action with two-step confirmation is the only way to erase data

Discovery API

• Automatic JSON snapshot of all signs written to config/tipsign/tipsigns.json
• Optional webhook push to an external URL (for website integration)
• HMAC-SHA256 request signing for secure webhook endpoints
• 5-second debounce for rapid edits, configurable background interval
