Overview
FlatSigns is a mod, by Myrathi, providing new sign functionality that allows signs to be placed flat on the ceiling or the floor (via sneak click).
You can also make sponges to edit existing signs.
Minecraft 1.7.10
As of v2.0.0 build 17, the mod supports the 1.7.10 client and, as of v2.1.0 build 19, there are (optional via config) sponge recipes.
Minecraft 1.6.2
As of v1.4.0 build 15, the mod supports the 1.6.2 client.
Minecraft 1.5.2
As of v1.3.1 build 13, sponges and sponge wipes can be created and used to edit signs in-place.
Minecraft 1.5.1
In the early versions of the mod, signs can be placed on ceilings and, if sneak is held, flat on the floor.
How It Works
There are no "new" sign blocks - you simply "place" a normal sign on the ceiling or sneak-place it on the floor. Everything should work as you'd expect!
How do you edit a sign? You right-click a sponge or sponge wipe on it.
To make a sponge (which is usually only available in creative mode), simply throw yellow wool into water or onto the ground when it's raining. It'll soak up the water. SHLOOP! You have a sponge!
Alternatively, there are shapeless recipes (which can allow for automation) which can be turned off via the config file: a piece of yellow wool with either a water bucket or three(3) glass bottles of water.
The problem with sponge is that it's not very durable. The solution? You make it into sponge wipes! Simply craft a sponge with a piece of cactus green (to give it a rougher side) et voilà: you have something akin to a steel-wool pad!
You can also place sponge beside a sign (without editing it) by sneaking while placing the sponge. It won't be "used" but will, instead, appear as a block.

Other Mods by Me
You can find a list in my Mod Compendium on the FTB forum or on my CurseForge profile.
1.16?
1.18?
2.5 years and waiting. I would like to take this over and port to 1.12.2. If you agree add me to the members with ability to upload updates, I have curse rewards so a nice allocation would be cool. If you dont' agree that's ok, then do you care if I clone it?
Please update?
The FTB wiki link is outdated. It should be updated to https://ftb.gamepedia.com/FlatSigns
In reply to TheSatanicSanta:
Hope it updates to 1.10.2 someday :)
Maaaaybe. ¬.¬
Freely admit I've been researching the most common 'current' sign mods, first, as I just know that I'm instantly going to get asked for it to support them, too. Also because I haven't updated in so long that the 1.7.10-1.10.2 jump is crazy. :P"
1.8.9?
There's a 1.8 and 1.9 version in the works. Sheer lack of time is making it difficult for me to update all my mods. :\
no rush
May I use this mod in a semi-public modpack on my whitelisted server?
please 1.8
thank you
Is there an issue reporting place of this mod ? (eg. Github) - Ok, I am blind, I am gonna post it to GitHub too then.
Anyway, I want to make a Feature Request: Please add Support for the Gany's Surface Signs (Spruce, Birch, Jungle, Acacia, Dark Oak)
I am using the Latest Version and I cannot place these signs to be flat.
EDIT2: I posted it here: https://github.com/Myrathi/FlatSignsEx/issues/5
I was wondering that if another mod made a custom sign that extends the default sign would this mod work with this one?
aaaawwwsssooommmeee

Is there any possiblity for an update to 1.6.4 in the near future?
Cool mod, nicely done!
