Added both to the list!
Regarding the next update (1.9.8) it might be awhile (hopefully some time mid September).
Trying to make a few big changes in the game; currently looking into new water system, new world (Terrain + vegetation) and Third person animations.
Hoping the transition will be smooth (will have to change & do alot of things that takes time) however if I felt i'll take longer than a month i'll go back to 1.9.7 & continue normally from there, leave the big changes for a major update later on maybe 2.0.0? we'll see!
Thank you for the bug report and the sign idea (Will include both in the next update).
Cheers!
