How to Craft Spruce Sign in Minecraft

Spruce 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, Spruce Signs ask for 6 Spruce Planks and 1 Stick. In the grid that is six Spruce 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 Spruce Signs. Burn it instead and one gives 200 ticks, which means 64 Spruce Signs take a stack of 64 all the way through a furnace.

Spruce Sign Item ID and Give Command

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

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

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

Overview

Spruce Signs display up to 4 lines of text. They can be placed on walls or the ground and dyed with ink. Spruce 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 1.14, and not in the release before it.

The materials come together from a few sources: you will be working with spruce planks (craft from spruce logs) and stick (craft from planks).

The Full Stack Sum

A full stack of 64 spruce planks gives 30 spruce signs, across 10 crafts at 6 for 3. Have 10 sticks ready as well. The box keeps 4 spruce planks.
