Minecraft’s New “Rules” Are Terrible
When a sign is destroyed, the original text is not saved in any way. Only four lines of text can be put on a sign, and there is a width-based limit on how much can be written per line. If a player wants to change the writing on a sign, they must remove the sign and place a new one.
Signs are used to display text. They can be placed on the top or side of other blocks. To place one, use a sign item while pointing at the desire block, enter the desired text (possibly none) and click “Done” or press “Escape” on a keyboard. To place one on a block that can be interacted with by the use control (i.e. chests, note blocks, etc.), sneak while placing it.

A sign is a thin, non-solid block that can display text. It can be crafted using 1 stick and 6 matching wood planks.
Signs were introduced as entities tested in 0.24 Survival Test where they had preset text and could only be spawned by pressing B; they were removed afterward. On the June 7, 2010 update of Infdev, signs were re-implemented. In Alpha 1.0.1, signs could now be placed on walls. In the full release version 1.3.1, signs were made stackable to 16 and produced 3 instead of 1 when crafted.
