You can generate styled text directly onto a sign — no external image editing needed. Control background color, text color, alignment, and size using simple arguments. Just look at a sign before running the command.
Basic usage
The minimum required arguments are text and background.
/silt text:<text> bg:<color|url>
Example:
/silt text:Hello World bg:black
Arguments explained
Each argument controls a different part of the final image.
- text: The text displayed on the sign.
- bg: Background color or image URL.
- color: Text color (optional).
- align: Text placement (optional).
- size: Font size number (optional).
Colors
Colors can be written in three formats:
- Named colors: red, blue, white, black, green
- Hex: #FF0000
- RGB: 255,0,0
Examples:
/silt text:Warning bg:red color:white /silt text:Rust bg:#49485a color:255,255,255
