Like I said in my previous post, your plugin is great and I love it. But lets face it, a giant barrel with a sign on it that says "Barrel" isn't very pleasing for the eyes.

I thought it would be great to implement a command to create barrels without any signs.

Maybe add the command /brew barrel add to create a barrel and /brew barrel remove to delete a barrel.

I know it would be more work because of plugins like WorldGuard and "land claim" plugins, but I think it would be great.

This could be working aside the sign system.

You can remove the Sign after creating the Barrel (on the big barrel) -> no signs on the Barrel.
The command would be easy as well, but more to remember for players

Okay, thanks!

so removing the sign lets the setup still be recognised as a barrel? that would open up a lot more design options.

Tested it out and this only works for the larger barrels. For our server the smaller barrels (8stairs) lost there barrel status after breaking the sign

Yes for the big barrel the Fence is the important Block, while for the Small Barrels the Sign is the important Block. So the sign can be removed on the Big Barrel.

Is there a need to be able to remove the Sign from the small barrel? if you want a barrel without a sign, you could use the Big Barrel or the Minecraft Barrel.

no need, just noticed when taking them out. Its oke if its intended not to do that on the small ones
