    pta2002 Nobody said floating text...
    And just invisible signs, below blocks that is below rails.

    I understand that... But why the signs? If they are ugly, they don't need to be there. Most likely im being a complete noob and I didn't noticed the obvious.

    He has floating Signs in the world for using traincarts and wireless redstone, but he wants to hide these signs.

    However he doesnt want to use a resource packs because he only wants certain signs to be hidden.

    There are loads of plugins that use signs to perform actions. The OP said that he is using TrainCarts, a plugin that does most stuff with its signs. But they need to be below the rules and are plain ugly.

    Ooooh. I just checked TrainCarts and I saw it uses a bunch of signs... Who's gonna make it then? PS - Isn't rendering client-side? That might mean this is impossible...

    If developers tell you that it is ppossible, it probably is!
    And yes rendering is client side, however the server tells the client what to render where... So you can send a Block Change to the Client and itll render it. So if we send a Block Change to Air. The Sign will be invisible :O

    I already made it for rails. Rewriting the plugin to add single block hiding.
    I am making it. Like said before.

    Suggestion: Make selected signs invisible. That would be better than all of them

    Nobody said that I would do all of them. My entire plugin is based on the selection the player makes.

    timtower Just a question, will it work with Wireless Redstone too?

    Yes, yes it will, when WR changes state then it might show a torch or a sign for a couple seconds but then it will hide again

    I don't mind that as most WR changes are hidden, just the WT is shown under the track.

    I assume that WT is traincarts here?

    Like said: this change is only client side. Redstone is server side.
    KRAKE802, pta2002, @Anybodyelseinterested in this.
    Even throwing in a free language file, options to make redstone and rails water resistant and a readme file.

    First file based in my signature, look for "BlockHider".
    Use /hiderails help for information.
    This version is untested and undocumented.

    Select the posters with an axe of wood and pon //set 36, you have to have the WorldEdit

    That will replace the signs, not make them invisible. They need to maintain their actions, positions and functionality. Replacing them will remove that.

    Ah well then not it is as you do not use a texture pack that only works in a world of concrete, no is

    Sending changes to only the client will work just fine, what you suggested was server wide.

    Yes, but that won't work for this, you want signs visible and other ones invisible from the same point of view. And the plugin is pretty much done so.....

    You can create a pack of textures and ediatarlo to put invisible poster
    You put the pack of textures when you have finished

    No, just no. So you are able to hide signs as stone and somewhere else as water with resource packs?

    timtower I'm confused, have you created the plugin and uploaded it or are you talking about it currently about what it's going to do?

    timtower Sorry, it shows you don't have a signature? I clicked on your side profile info saying "My Plugins (11)" and there's no plugins called "BlockHider"
