Crossbucks are the signs you see next to railroad crossings to tell you, "Hey! Trains can cross here, be warned..." (if your country supports that kind of rule, which most do).
Technicalities included, these signs are part of new system for signs, where each texture is in a list instead of each being a separate block. This saves on blockstate memory usage and such, but makes each block you place count towards blockentity count. Keep this in mind for servers.
To use them, just place them on poles or on vertical redstone components and then right click them. You'll see a screen like the one below:
Unlike the old mod, the crossbuck can actually be any texture specified within the 'types' that exist, or if you want, add your own texture by using the "data" command and modifying the value "sign_override_loc" (a valid location value is: "thingamajigsrailroadways:textures/entity/signs/sign_aust_alt.png") and also modifying the "custom_sign" value by changing it to "true". If there is an invalid resource location specified, expect a crash or missing texture to appear. All players must have the same resources applied in order to use this feature properly, hence why it is locked behind the "data" command for now. The sign texture is an entity texture, so it is flattened out. A template is provided here: Template Link (the blue side is the front sign texture and the yellow is the back sign texture; sign textures can have transparent colored pixels). The sign type name is shown below the sign type label, in case the GUI is obstructing the view of the sign itself in-world. The "rotation" buttons change the rotation of the model in-world. It can be a float value from 0.0-1.0+. Note that higher values may be more imprecise compared to lower values. The "Type" buttons change the sign type from a pre-selected list of sign textures. You must click the "Update Sign" button for the signs to properly update to the texture selected.
