+Subject: [PATCH] Fix sendSignChange0's usage of SignText
+
+Minecraft 1.20 introduced the SignText class that holds onto the text of
+a single side of a minecraft sign.
+This type is immutable and any methods on it produce an updated, new
+instance of the class rather than mutating the called upon instance.
+
+Spigot does not respect this change as it does not re-assign the
+constructed sign text to the instance nor does it feed back said
+instance to the virtual sign block entity.
