How to Craft Spruce Hanging Sign in Minecraft

Spruce 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.

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

Spruce Hanging Sign Item ID and Give Command

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

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

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

Overview

Spruce Hanging Signs display text while hanging from blocks or chains. They swing slightly when placed. Spruce 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 spruce 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 spruce log (use axe on spruce log).

The Yield Per Stack

64 stripped spruce logs is 10 crafts here, or 60 spruce hanging signs once the grid stops. On top of that: 20 chains. Left over: just 4 stripped spruce logs.
