Sign Editor

The Sign Editor is a browser-based designer for Refined Sign Systems (RSS) signs. Lay out text, icons and effects on a real-size canvas, save the design to your account, and load it in game no editing JSON by hand.

Build your first sign

1. Open the editor and click New design. It opens with an empty canvas.

2. Give it a name in the left panel. This is what you will recognise it by in your design list.

3. Pick a sign size. This is the one setting you have to choose before anything else unlocks it decides the pixel canvas the mod renders.

4. Add an element with Text, Image or Effect above the layer list.

5. Drag it into place on the canvas, and adjust it in the right-hand panel.

6. Click Save. The design is stored on your account, ready to load in game.

Tip

Two guided tours are built into the editor, on the ? and shape buttons in the action bar: one walks through the workspace, the other covers elements and the image browser.

The workspace

The editor is three columns:

• Left the design’s name, whether it is public, the sign size, the Add element buttons, and the layer list.
• Middle the action bar and the canvas your sign is drawn on.
• Right the inspector: settings for the selected element, and below them the settings for the sign as a whole.

Caution

The editor needs a mouse and a wide screen, so it is not available on phones. The read-only preview page works on any device.
