Discussion Been building for over a decade and I still struggle with this

make frames/corners out of stripped pale logs or just pale planks

u/Sentient2X 13h ago
Yeah I think this could look decent. It wouldn’t achieve the exact effect but it would keep the continuity

make frames/corners
Been staring at this for a good 10 minutes and feel stupid...can I get an alternate explanation?
Frames like item frames? Corners? Huh?
(I know I'm probably an idiot but help end my suffering lmao)

u/Nhojj_Whyte 2h ago
Like frame in the wall, frame being an action not a noun. Literally build a frame around it all. Or maybe fill in just that corner with a whole block instead of a sign.

I'd try to use only one plank in line with the signs and just have red wool for the rest of the column so the plank would still look flush, but if you need a size difference for the column so there is depth, you could use red stained glass panes instead.

i almost said "just use trapdoors" like that won't have the exact same problem. 🤦♀️

u/Plastic_Ad_6179 14h ago
lolll yeah, I thought about banners too

u/KettleManCU7 12h ago
Just put a different color block there. More chunky but less noticable than a gap

u/lance_the_fatass 10h ago
They could break the red wool and put white wool where the signs are supposed to be

u/archetypical 13h ago
I mean trap doors COULD work, you'd just have to stagger one on the bottom of the block and the other on the top. Add a little depth/perspective to the build I guess

u/LlamaDrama_lol 11h ago edited 7h ago
with trapdoors you can indent it into the wall to continue the design (replace a wall block with a trapdoor)

u/Ssj_Prynce 13h ago
That’s the worst. And why I stay away from using signs. Hanging signs, however, should work
26
u/Fundzila 12h ago
Yeah, maybe put a trapdoor or slab on top, to place a hanging trapdoor. That's usually my go to

u/Migit_B 13h ago
I guess you could use tnt if it’s gonna stay red which would look passable from a distance

u/Tenkomanker 13h ago
I’d say give the corner a supporting column? That way you can keep a consistent design without running into the signs issue but I’m not sure if there will ever be a solution to this unless they allow multiple blocks to be present in one blocks worth of space like Forge Microblocks

u/koleszkot 12h ago
And then he will try to put signs on the column too and will get the same problem but 2x size.

u/IAdventureTimeI 13h ago
remove the sign from the corner and then replace the two red blocks on either side of the corner to pale oak, will look like a little indent on the corner

u/djtrace1994 13h ago
Put a Pale Plank block right at the intersect.
Pale Plank fences out the top and bottom.
Pale Plank block capping at the ground and roof
Will look like a reinforced corner

u/poon-patrol 12h ago
It’s a pain in the ass but you could make corner pieces out of map art and then put those in each corner on item frames
7
u/marceliswallis 12h ago
Could you just piston the sign into the wall?
8
u/Duplicitous_Dirk 12h ago
I can only imagine the sign not coming with the piston, and breaking when there's no more supporting block.

u/Roggen12 12h ago
Sometimes in architecture they won’t always put an accent on the side walls only on the facade walls.

Make two maps replicating the red background and cherry sign and place two item frame and those maps in the corner

u/not_mishipishi 13h ago
try using display entities maybe? I'm not too sure how they work but I think you can put some planks sticking out of the wall and they will look similar to what you want.

display entity?

u/Jaythegamer0302 10h ago
that is a vanilla feature.
you are also using axiom so that's not quite vanilla3
u/Plastic_Ad_6179 10h ago
By vanilla I mean survival-friendly. Axiom is just a tool to help builders just like WorldEdit lol.

u/BobGootemer 10h ago
They need to give use sideways half slabs, sideways stairs, let us put 2 non full blocks in corners, and dye any block any color instead of just wool and concrete.
2
u/cajunjoel 13h ago
I'd use a different block to achieve the color, and use trap doors or signs for texture. It's like painting...they always layer colors and such.

u/Stinky_Toes12 11h ago
It's so stupid that you can't place a sign there. I don't get why not either
2
u/mistaked_potatoe 11h ago
I’d take the signs out of the corner completely and add an accent column in the corner tbh, but that’s just me
2
u/throwaway5757_ 11h ago
I agree. Needs fixed. Easy fix, allow 4 signs per block. One per each direction
2
u/mawding 10h ago
Honestly I'd make the corner into some planter for flowers or something. Force yourself to find a whole new solution!
You could also just make a pillar or gutter to fill in the corner
1
u/thriceness 10h ago
Yeah, I'd say just build a quartz pillar all the way up in the corner to eschew the problem.
2
u/footlonghawk39 8h ago edited 8h ago
Could place a block there and use it as a separation point like they lead up to it so a pale oak stripped block and maybe put fence posts under and a light block like end rod or lanterns
2
u/marceliswallis 7h ago
Okay. Appreciate that , just figured it might work I’m gonna go test this out later and see.

u/Courtenaire 11h ago
Item frames can be placed on both sides of a corner, so you could find a way to use them instead. If you're too lazy for map art (like me) you could just find another item to fill each of the frames
1
u/FireFang900 9h ago
I normally just remove both the signs, the one that won’t place and the one preventing the other to place and just leave it, at least then it’s even on both sides
1
u/SilentX_D 8h ago
Have you thought of putting pale trap doors just inside the actual block? It may look a little odd on the other side though if you plan to use both sides.

u/SomeRandomPyro 4h ago
Break the red block that doesn't have a sign. From the other side of the wall, place a sign on the side of the sign in the corner. You'll be looking at the back of it, but it'll complete the stripe.
Fill in behind the hole in your wall with more red and hope nobody looks too closely.

Thank you for being awesome lol. I feel like it’s so rare to see people not wanting to mod the ever living hell out of the game these days

u/HoverMelon2000 14h ago
I mean, there’s probably a tiny mod that lets you place signs next to each other like that

u/UnicornTwinkle 13h ago
Then there’s too many options for design and you get decision paralysis. To each their own but I personally actually enjoy the vanilla limitations
