When you join the server, all the letters in the word of Minecraft go a white color, but as other players join in the color changes. The fantastic feature that lights up the corresponding letter means that at just a quick glance, you can see how many of your friends are online and either waiting for you to join and play or trying to steal all your resources!

This planning led to him getting the LEDs and using a Raspberry Pi Zero, which allowed him to save on space as the Raspberry Pi Zero is substantially smaller when compared to the standard Raspberry Pi 3.

One fantastic feature is the ability to change the colors of the letters and even have a rainbow light scheme. The ability to change the color makes this sign perfect for nearly any setup, and the rainbow light setting is sure to attract your attention when your friend joins into your server!
