How to Craft Acacia Sign in Minecraft

Acacia Sign in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own item texture. Displaying text (up to 4 lines). The recipe first appears in the game's files in Minecraft 1.14.

At a Crafting Table, Acacia Signs ask for 6 Acacia Planks and 1 Stick. In the grid that is six Acacia Planks in a solid 2x3 block in the top and middle rows and a single Stick in the bottom-middle cell. The grid returns 3 Acacia Signs. Burn it instead and one gives 200 ticks, which means 64 Acacia Signs take a stack of 64 all the way through a furnace.

Acacia Sign Item ID and Give Command

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

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

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