ExtCreations Signs Tutorial
Information(top)
This is the ExtCreations sign tutorial page. If you have the (Main) ExtCreations feature then you will be able to create Lifts, Doors, Gates and Bridges.If you have the (Main) ExtCreationsPlus3 feature then you will be able to create Minecart Elevators.
Simply view the mechanic you wish to work with to learn how to create it as well as get information about various quirks and mechanics of it.
Lift Signs(top)
Teleport up and down to different floors and levels along the y-axis. Your lift signs must be on the same x and z coordinate as its arrival pair.
All Lift signs need to be in pairs.
First Sign:
You will use [Lift Up] or [Lift Down]
You can also name each sign to give the destination a name. This name will go on the first line.
Example:
This will pop "First Floor" into your chat whenever you arrive at this sign.
Second Sign:
You have two options for your second sign of your Lift pair.
You can either create an arrival sign that will only let you arrive at the sign and not head back, or create a sign in which you can navigate back and forth between each sign.
If you wish to do a to/from sign, simply repeat the above steps for which ever direction you wish to travel with the second sign.
Arrival Only:
You will use [Lift]
All Lift signs need to be in pairs.
First Sign:
You will use [Lift Up] or [Lift Down]
- First Line: Blank
- Second Line: [Lift Up] or [Lift Down]
- Third Line: Blank
- Fourth Line: Blank
You can also name each sign to give the destination a name. This name will go on the first line.
Example:
This will pop "First Floor" into your chat whenever you arrive at this sign.
Second Sign:
You have two options for your second sign of your Lift pair.
You can either create an arrival sign that will only let you arrive at the sign and not head back, or create a sign in which you can navigate back and forth between each sign.
If you wish to do a to/from sign, simply repeat the above steps for which ever direction you wish to travel with the second sign.
Arrival Only:
You will use [Lift]
- First Line: Blank
- Second Line: [Lift]
- Third Line: Blank
- Fourth Line: Blank
Example:
You can also name each sign to give the destination a name. This name will go on the first line.
Example:
This will pop "First Floor" into your chat whenever you arrive at this sign.
Things to Note:- Lift Signs must be in the same column to operate correctly
- Example:
- Your arrival point must be on a solid block, and it will attempt to place you directly above or below where you are standing when you interact with a lift.
- If you stand 3 blocks from the sign and interact, it will attempt to place you at the destination also 3 blocks in front of the sign (same x and z).
- You can use the third and fourth lines of the sign to include information to a user about the destination, these lines will not impact the function of the lift.
- Lift Signs must be in the same column to operate correctly
Doors(top)
Create a door out of an acceptable material that can be opened by interacting with the sign or a redstone signal.
All Door signs need to be in pairs.
Door structures require a row of the material the door will be made of. There must be a row on top of and below each sign.
Seen here:
First Sign:
You will use [Door Up] or [Door Down]
Second Sign:
You will use [Door Up] or [Door Down]
Restocking the sign:
Door signs once made will accept the material of the door in either sign. You simply need to slowly right-click the Door sign with the door material until you have enough to fill the door.
Your other option is to build the door before you make the door mechanic. Once activated the door will activate and load itself with the placed blocks to stock the sign.
Redstone Activation:
Doors will accept redstone signals to activate. However they are very specific in where they will accept a signal.
Redstone signals must power to the front or one of the sides of a door sign to activate the door. The back of a sign will not accept a redstone signal.
See an example below.

- A Door Down sign must always be placed at the top of your door structure.
- A Door Up sign must always be placed at the bottom of your door structure
- Door signs must be placed in the center of the row, offset signs will not work.

Redstone Activation:
Doors will accept redstone signals to activate. However they are very specific in where they will accept a signal.
Redstone signals must power to the front or one of the sides of a door sign to activate the door. The back of a sign will not accept a redstone signal.
See an example below.
Things to note:
- Doors can be a maximum of 11 blocks wide (center block and 5 on each side). The maximum height is 30 blocks.

Gates(top)
Create a gate out of an acceptable material that can be opened by interacting with the sign or a redstone signal.
Gate structures require a row of the material the gate will be made of as well as a "frame". The frame can be any material but the gate will only accept certain materials - those are listed below.
Seen here:
Gate Sign:
You will use [Gate]
Restocking the sign:
Gate signs once made will accept the material of the gate in the sign. You simply need to slowly right-click the Gate sign with the gate material until you have enough to fill the gate.
Your other option is to build the gate before you make the gate mechanic. Once activated the gate will activate and load itself with the placed blocks to stock the sign.
Redstone Activation:
Gates will accept redstone signals to activate. However they are very specific in where they will accept a signal.
Redstone signals must power the block the sign is on to activate the gate.
See an example below.

- A Gate sign can be placed anywhere on the frame, but it must find an acceptable gate material to work within 3 blocks of the gate sign.
Restocking the sign:
Gate signs once made will accept the material of the gate in the sign. You simply need to slowly right-click the Gate sign with the gate material until you have enough to fill the gate.

Seen here:
First Sign:

Second Sign:
You will use [Bridge]
Restocking the sign:
Bridge signs once made will accept the material of the bridge in either sign. You simply need to slowly right-click the Bridge sign with the bridge material until you have enough to fill the bridge.
Your other option is to build the bridge before you make the bridge mechanic. Once activated the bridge will activate and load itself with the placed blocks to stock the sign.
Redstone Activation:
Bridges will accept redstone signals to activate. However they are very specific in where they will accept a signal.
Redstone signals must power to the front or one of the sides of a bridge to activate the bridge. The back of a sign will not accept a redstone signal. You may also power the block the bridge sign is on to activate the bridge.
