What Is Hanging Sign In Minecraft?
Hanging Signs in Minecraft is a placard-like wooden board that players can hang on the side or beneath other blocks.
Additionally, the Hanging Sign is a part of the Minecraft 1.20 Update. Thus, it is relatively new to the game.
Furthermore, before adding Hanging Signs, players could interact with their predecessor, The Sign.
However, players can still interact with and even create Signs in the game. Additionally, they can find a few differences between Hanging Signs and Signs in general.
Here is a table to show the difference between Hanging Signs and Signs;
Features | Sign | Hanging Sign |

Characters (In One Row) | 15 | 8 |
Placement | Only Top | All Sides and Bottom |
Walkable | No | When Placed On The Side (with a rod on top) |
