CopySign

Stop retyping signs. Copy any sign with a click, save your favorites, paste them anywhere.

CopySign turns sign creation into a one-click workflow. Shift+left-click any sign while holding a blank one and the text, colors, and glow state transfer instantly. Place the sign and it writes itself. Save the ones you use often to a personal library, browse them in a GUI, and let admins push server-wide templates for shops, rules, warps, and anything else your server needs to look consistent.

Features

• One-click copy and paste for any sign, regular or hanging
• Full preservation of text, colors, and glow effects
• Personal sign library with GUI browsing, save, load, and delete
• Server templates for admin-managed, server-wide signs
• Per-player toggle so the feature only triggers when you want it
• Folia support with thread-safe operations
• WorldGuard integration that respects region protections
• Granular permissions for every feature, sign type, and bypass
• Customizable messages, sounds, and cooldowns through config files
• NBT-based storage for reliable, persistent sign data

Quick Start

1. Run /copysign on to enable the feature
2. Hold a sign in your main hand
3. Shift + left-click any sign with text to copy it
4. Place your sign normally and the text applies automatically

To save and reuse:

• /cs save <name> after copying to add it to your library
• /cs load <name> to apply a saved template to a held sign
• /cs library to open the GUI browser

Commands

Alias: /cs works in place of /copysign everywhere.

Requirements

• Minecraft: 1.21 or newer
• Server: Spigot, Paper, Folia, or compatible forks
• Java: 21+
• Required dependency: NBT-API v2.15.1+

Permissions

Permissions are split into core, sign type, library, template, admin, and bypass groups so you can hand out exactly the access each rank needs. Common setups:

# Basic players
copysign.use

# Trusted builders
copysign.use
copysign.copycolor
copysign.library

# Staff
copysign.*

Configuration

config.yml controls defaults, library limits, cooldowns, metrics, and debug logging. messages.yml lets you rewrite every player-facing message with full color code support.
