Minecraft plugin CommandSigns

🔌 About CommandSigns

CommandSigns — is a Minecraft plugin that lets server staff turn signs, buttons and pressure plates into command executors. CommandSigns runs configured commands when a player interacts with a configured block; it can run commands as the player or as console, and can temporarily grant permissions required to execute target commands.

🎯 Purpose

CommandSigns solves the need for safe, clickable in‑world triggers for commands without exposing raw commands to players. Use CommandSigns to create:

• warp points and teleport triggers
• sign shops and priced interactions (economy via Vault)
• kit or item‑give points
• area access gates (permission‑gated) CommandSigns is targeted at Spigot/Paper style servers where in‑game blocks should perform server commands. ()

⚙ Main features

• Create command signs, buttons and pressure plates that execute configured commands on interaction.
• Commands may be run as console by prefixing with '#'.
• Temporary permission grants so players can run commands they otherwise lack.
• Ability to require a permission to use a command block.
• Economy integration (price functionality available when using an economy plugin via Vault).
• Lightweight and focused plugin for command triggers. ()

🧩 Who it's for

CommandSigns is useful for server administrators, staff and map builders who want to expose specific functionality to players without giving full command access. Typical use cases are Survival servers, Minigame arenas, and lobby/shop areas on Spigot/Paper servers. ()

🏗 Usage examples

• A sign that teleports the clicking player to an arena (uses warp command, temporary permission can be granted).
• A button in a shop that charges the player via Vault and gives items using server commands.
• A pressure plate that runs server commands to change weather or time for nearby players.

⌨️ Commands

Notes: these commands are listed in the official resource and repository. Use only the plugin's documented commands. ()

🔐 Permissions

Information about default permission values is not explicitly documented on the official Spigot resource or repository. Do not assume defaults — check your permissions plugin (e.g., LuckPerms) or the plugin.yml in the installed JAR for exact defaults. ()

⚙ Installation

📥 Installation

• Download the CommandSigns .jar from the official resource or release.
• Place the .jar into your server's plugins/ folder.
• Restart the server (full restart recommended).
• Verify the plugin loaded in console and check /commandsign help in‑game.

📦 Dependencies

• Vault — required only if you want price/economy support. If you use Vault + an economy plugin, CommandSigns can incorporate cost behavior. Other dependencies are not documented. ()

🧾 Configuration

• On first run the plugin creates its folder and config files (if applicable).
• The plugin supports defining commands per sign/button/plate via the create/edit commands or through the plugin's configuration formats referenced in the repository/wikis. See the project's documentation for detailed sign configuration. ()

Supported Minecraft / Spigot versions

The official resource lists Native/ Tested major versions around 1.13–1.16 and notes compatibility entries per release. Check the plugin's version history to select the correct build for older major versions. The author also published compatibility notes on the resource page. ()

🧠 Additional information

Known issues / conflicts

• If a CommandSigns block sits in a WorldGuard region, you may need to allow the appropriate Use/Interact permission in that region for players to trigger it. ()
• The author indicated dropping active support for the plugin; expect no future answers from the original maintainer and use at your own risk. Check the resource thread for community guidance. ()

Limitations

• Not all Minecraft versions are guaranteed — use the version history to match your server.
• PlaceholderAPI support is not clearly documented in official sources (user questions exist but no authoritative confirmation).

🤝 When CommandSigns is useful

If you need localized, block‑based triggers for server commands without opening broad command permissions to players, CommandSigns provides a small, proven toolset for Spigot/Paper servers. Use it where clickable, in‑world interactions should run server commands safely and optionally charge players via Vault.
