Minecraft: craft shield - how it works

You can use signs to label buildings in Minecraft or set up signposts. This practical tip shows you how to craft the practical items.

Craft a shield in Minecraft

The signs in Minecraft are made of wood only. You can attach them to almost any location and add your own text.

• You need a total of six wooden blocks and a stick for a sign.
• You get the wooden blocks by cutting down a tree and placing the trunk in a crafting table. For the stick, place two of these wooden blocks on top of each other in the crafting box.
• Then fill the top two rows of the crafting table with wooden blocks and place a stick in the bottom center. This way you get three signs.
• As soon as you place the sign somewhere, a text field appears. Enter the lettering here that should appear on the sign. If you want to change your entry later, you have to remove the sign and place it again.
