Spruce Sign at a glance

Crafting gives you Spruce Sign, a block filed under Utility Blocks. Carrying Spruce Sign is cheap: 16 to a slot, 144 across the hotbar, 432 in a chest. Feed Spruce Sign to a furnace and 1 smelt follow, 16 from a stack of 16.

Spruce Sign has a hardness of 1. For Spruce Sign the blast resistance is not separate: it is 1 as well. Use an axe on Spruce Sign to speed it up; no particular tier is required. Generated chests only ever hold Spruce Sign in one place: taiga village houses (roughly 1 in 10). It sits between Spruce Sapling and Spruce Slab in Utility Blocks, number 302 of 340 there.

Building with it

A Spruce Sign is dark, so pale dyes and glow ink stand out on it better than black text does. Six spruce planks and a stick give three. Signs can also be placed on the front of a chest or hung on a fence, which is how most players label a farm.
