# AntiSignEdit<\/p>\n
A simple Folia-compatible Minecraft 1.21.x plugin that locks signs after a player finishes writing on them, preventing any future edits.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
– Locks signs the moment the sign GUI closes after placement
\n– Automatically locks pre-existing signs (placed before the plugin was installed) on first interaction
\n– Works with all sign types: classic signs, wall signs, and all hanging sign variants
\n– Signs can still be broken normally
\n– Ops and players with `antisignedit.bypass` can still edit signs freely
\n– Configurable message shown when a player is blocked (or disable the message entirely)
\n– Folia compatible via `RegionScheduler`<\/p>\n

## Configuration<\/p>\n
Located at `plugins\/AntiSignEdit\/config.yml` after first run.<\/p>\n

\nmessages:
\n # Set to false to silently block without sending any message
\n send-on-block: true<\/p>\n
# Supports full MiniMessage formatting ## How It Works<\/p>\n **New signs:** When a player closes the sign editing GUI, `SignChangeEvent` fires. A region-scheduled task (Folia-safe) immediately waxes the sign block after the event resolves. Waxed signs cannot be opened for editing in vanilla Minecraft.<\/p>\n **Pre-existing signs:** When a player right-clicks any unwaxed sign, the plugin waxes it on the spot before cancelling the interaction. This means old signs are retroactively locked on first touch.<\/p>\n **Bypass:** If the interacting player is an op (`player.isOp()`) or has the `antisignedit.bypass` permission, the interaction is not cancelled and they may edit freely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Minecraft plugin that locks signs after a player finishes writing on them, preventing any future edits<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":16309,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"antisignedit","_minecraft_project_id":"OsPydya9","_minecraft_author":"MistaSoup","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":28,"_minecraft_follows":1,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"antisignedit.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":26433,"_minecraft_version_count":3,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T22:11:08.270387Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2026-02-18T03:23:26.986377Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-02-19T19:34:47.545524Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/antisignedit","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":16309,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-05-31T19:00:28+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"7951995e3024a1a820e2123f456ae1ff","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[43,125,89,126,127,128,867,129],"mod_loader":[131,132,133,134],"minecraft_version":[62,37,40,41,73,74,38,78,79,80,81,82],"class_list":["post-16308","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-cursed","mod_category-folia","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-management","mod_category-paper","mod_category-purpur","mod_category-social","mod_category-spigot","mod_loader-folia","mod_loader-paper","mod_loader-purpur","mod_loader-spigot","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8","minecraft_version-1-21-9"],"yoast_head":"\n
