For other blocks that can display text, see Minecraft:Sign and Minecraft:Hanging Sign.

Script error: No such module "Exclusive".Template:Message boxTemplate:Article other Template:Infobox block A chalkboard is a Minecraft:block that can display more text than a Minecraft:sign.<ref>Template:Citation</ref> Three sizes are available: 1×1 (slate), 2×1 (poster), and 3×2 (board).

Obtaining

in Template:Editions, chalkboards can be obtained in the Minecraft:Creative inventory or through the

  1. REDIRECT Template:Command

Template:Redr command. in Template:Editions, chalkboards cannot be obtained by commands or the Creative inventory, and can only be obtained by using glitches or inventory editors.

Breaking

The suitable tool to break chalkboard is Minecraft:axe. Script error: No such module "breaking row". Chalkboard drops itself when it's destroyed.

Usage

A chalkboard can be used similarly to a Minecraft:sign, to display text. Once placed, select the chalkboard and enter the desired text and click the "OK" button. The "×" in the upper right corner of the board closes the edit screen.

Placement

Chalkboards may be placed on the top or side of other blocks (including non-solid blocks like Minecraft:fences, Minecraft:glass, Minecraft:rails, and other chalkboards). To place a chalkboard, {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}use a chalkboard item while pointing at the block the chalkboard should be attached to. To place a chalkboard on a block that can be interacted with by the {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}use control (for example, Minecraft:chests, note blocks, etc.), {{#vardefine: control | shift on keyboard or right button on the right side of gamepad }}sneak while placing the chalkboard.

1×1 slates placed on the top of a block stand on a short post, facing in the direction of the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. 2×1 posters and 2×3 boards can be placed in any of 4 different directions. Chalkboards placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the chalkboards.

Text

When entering text, six lines of text are available for the slates and posters, while fifteen lines of text are available for the 2×3 boards. To switch between lines, the player can press Enter or the up/down arrow keys. The location of text currently selected has a flashing cursor.

While editing, typing and backspacing can occur at any point in the line by moving the cursor using the left and right arrow keys. Once the end of the line has been reached, the word is hyphenated and is continued on the next line.

After the editing window is closed, right-clicking on a chalkboard reopens the editing menu. Copy and paste can be performed, and no more than the basic/shifted keyboard characters may be entered.

Interaction

Chalkboards act as though they have a {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}use action, so {{#vardefine: control | shift on keyboard or right button on the right side of gamepad }}sneaking is required to place blocks or use items while the cursor is pointed at them.

Unlike signs, boards block a Minecraft:piston from moving.

Boards have no collision box (they are completely non-solid), so Minecraft:items and Minecraft:mobs can move through boards blocks. Other blocks (including other boards) can be placed on any edge of a board.

Minecraft:Water and Minecraft:lava flow around boards. Lava can create Minecraft:fire in Minecraft:air blocks next to boards as if the boards were flammable, but the boards do not burn.
