How to Craft Acacia Hanging Sign in Minecraft

Acacia Hanging Sign in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own item texture. Displaying text while hanging. The recipe first appears in the game's files in Minecraft 1.20.

Stand at a Crafting Table with 2 Chains and 6 Stripped Acacia Logs and you can make Acacia Hanging Signs. The pattern to copy is two Chains side by side in the top row and six Stripped Acacia Logs in a solid 2x3 block in the middle and bottom rows. A single craft gives you 6 Acacia Hanging Signs. It doubles as fuel at 200 ticks apiece, so 64 Acacia Hanging Signs will smelt 64 items.

Acacia Hanging Sign Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Acacia Hanging Sign is minecraft:acacia_hanging_sign. In commands the namespace may be left off, so acacia_hanging_sign works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p acacia_hanging_sign
Give a full stack of 16
/give @p acacia_hanging_sign 16
Give it to a named player
/give Steve acacia_hanging_sign 1

Cheats have to be on for Acacia Hanging Sign to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.

Overview

Acacia Hanging Signs display text while hanging from blocks or chains. They swing slightly when placed. Acacia Hanging Sign uses a shaped recipe: the ingredients only work in the pattern shown.

This recipe first appears in the game's own data files in Minecraft 1.20, and not in the release before it. The recipe itself last changed in Minecraft 1.21.9. Guides written before that release show a different set of ingredients for the acacia hanging sign, so check the grid above rather than the video.

The materials come together from a few sources: you will be working with chain (craft from iron nuggets and iron ingot) and stripped acacia log (use axe on acacia log).

The Yield Per Stack

64 stripped acacia logs is 10 crafts here, or 60 acacia hanging signs once the grid stops. On top of that: 20 chains. That leaves 4 stripped acacia logs with no partner.
