Hi,

I am trying to make a custom sign but it isn't working. I'm not really trying to make a fully custom sign, I just want to have a new additional sign that uses a different texture but behaves the same as the regular signs. (I don't want to override the textures of the regular signs because I want them too). The 2 problems I have with my sign are: 1. No texture (not sure where the texture for signs is declared but blockstate and model jsons do not have them and I haven't been able to find them in code), 2. When placing the sign, it doesn't open the sign GUI.

The way I coded it was as follows:

Registered blocks:

MyBlocks.metal_sign = new StandingSignBlock(Block.Properties.create(Material.WOOD).doesNotBlockMovement().hardnessAndResistance(1.0F).sound(SoundType.WOOD)).setRegistryName(location("metal_sign")),
MyBlocks.metal_wall_sign = new WallSignBlock(Block.Properties.create(Material.WOOD).doesNotBlockMovement().hardnessAndResistance(1.0F).sound(SoundType.WOOD)).setRegistryName(location("metal_wall_sign"))

Registered item:

MyItems.metal_sign = new SignItem((new Item.Properties()).maxStackSize(16).group(ItemGroup.DECORATIONS), MyBlocks.metal_sign, MyBlocks.metal_wall_sign).setRegistryName(MyBlocks.metal_sign.getRegistryName())         

Created blockstate json for metal_sign & metal_wall_sign, created model json for metal_sign (I did this exactly like how acacia signs, oak signs, etc are done), created model item json as well.

I found the sign textures in textures/entities/signs and tried putting mine in the same folder (both under minecraft and under my mod's folder), but that didn't help. I get no errors in the debug log so I'm really confused why this isn't working. I did verify (using data get block) that my invisible sign does have a tile entity of the right type. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks          

You need to show more of your code, preferably as a working git repo
