↑ These durations ignore any other influential factors (e.g., Mining Fatigue) and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.

A banner also breaks and drops itself as an item if the block the banner is attached to is moved, removed, or destroyed.

Crafting

Banners can be crafted from six wool and a stick in a pattern resembling a sign.

Usage

Overlapping block on a banner.

Overlapping on a wall mounted banner.

There are 16 colored blank banners, and numerous patterns each available in 16 colors. A banner can be customized with up to 6 layers of patterns. The top layer of a banner (or the last pattern added) can be washed off by using it on a cauldron containing water.

Banners, much like signs, can be placed either on the ground facing in 16 directions, or on a wall. They gently sway as if affected by a breeze, regardless of dimension or location.

Other blocks (including other banners) can be placed on any edge of a banner's hitbox, which is only one block high despite the banner appearing as two blocks tall. When a banner is placed on the side of a block, its position is set by the top block. This makes it possible to overlap another solid block on the top half of a floor banner, or the bottom half of a wall banner.

Banners have no collision mask as they are completely non-solid, so entities can move through them.

Banners cannot be moved by pistons.

Water and lava flow around banners. In Bedrock Edition, banners can be waterlogged. Lava can create fire in air blocks next to banners as if the banners were flammable, but the banners do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods).

Loom recipes

Main page: Template:Banner pattern loom recipes

[edit]

In Bedrock Edition, most patterns can also be added through crafting, although this generally requires more dye and may also consume valuable items such as enchanted golden apples. Designs that require uncraftable banner pattern items (e.g. globe or gust) are not available through crafting.

Custom banner and shield designs can be previewed using this tool:

An interactive widget is being loaded. If this does not work for you, please reload the page or check if JavaScript is working or enabled.

Example of a banner with more than 6 patterns, a result of using the /give command.

In Java Edition, a banner can have more than six layers of patterns if obtained through commands (such as /give or /setblock) or external editors. A banner can visually display up to 16 layers. The item tooltip of a banner with more than 6 patterns lists only the first 6 bottom-most layers. Here is an example of a command that gives the player a banner with eight different patterns:

/give @s white_banner[banner_patterns=[{pattern:half_horizontal,color:red},{pattern:stripe_top,color:blue},{pattern:stripe_middle,color:pink},{pattern:stripe_bottom,color:cyan},{pattern:stripe_downright,color:yellow},{pattern:stripe_downleft,color:lime},{pattern:rhombus,color:orange},{pattern:skull,color:black}]]

In Bedrock Edition, banners with more than 6 layers are unobtainable via commands. Banners can display only up to 6 layers, even if more layers are added using external editors. Tooltips of such banners list all the layers.

Crafting ingredient

Shields can have patterns applied to them using banners. The shield pattern has a smaller resolution than the banner pattern, causing them to look different or offset.

Copying

Banners can be copied with a blank banner to make multiple identical banners. Banners with more than 6 patterns applied using commands cannot be copied in this manner.

In Bedrock Edition, the banner with the pattern must be to the left of or above the blank banner in the crafting table.

Renaming

Like other items, banners can be renamed on an anvil. A banner retains its custom name when it is placed and retrieved, when a layer is added or removed, and when the banner is cloned; additionally, applying a renamed banner to a shield in Bedrock Edition gives the shield the custom banner name.

In Java Edition, a banner can also be given a custom name by using the /data command on a banner block to change its CustomName NBT tag.

Map marker

👁 All banners marked on a map, alongside a named banner.

How every banner appears in Java Edition on a map, including a named banner.

This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.

In Java Edition, pressing the use control on a banner while holding a map places a marker of the banner's position on the selected map, and pressing use on the banner again removes the marker. The marker has the same color as the banner's base without decorations. The marker is removed if the banner is destroyed unless the map is locked using a cartography table. If the banner is renamed, the name appears below the marker.

Helmet

This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.

While a banner cannot be equipped in the head slot in Survival mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear on top of the player. This is how raid captains wear banners.

Chestplate

This feature is exclusive to Bedrock Edition.

While a banner cannot be equipped in the chestplate slot in Survival mode, equipping it using NBT editors causes it to appear on top of the player. This is how raid captains wear banners.

Fuel

Banners can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per banner.

Trivia

With 16 blank banners, 42 patterns of 16 colors each (672 uniquely-colored patterns), and 0 to 6 patterns per banner, the number of uniquely crafted banners is or approximately 1.48 quintillion. The number of visually distinct banners is smaller, because one or more patterns may completely cover other patterns or be duplicated.
- A banner can have up to 16 layers of patterns with the use of commands. The total number of unique banners with at most 16 banner patterns is approximately 2.77 × 10⁴⁶ (27 quattuordecillion), or exactly 27,712,461,604,001,911,162,527,386,403,537,046,036,140,157,456.
The Mojang logo is called "Thing" in-game, which could be considered an alternate translation for mojäng.
- In the Swedish translation of the game, this pattern is, in fact, called mojäng.
Banner textures are located in \assets\minecraft\textures\entity\banner.
- There are 40 monochrome textures, each containing all 6 sides of the banner.
- The texture of the back side is the mirrored texture of the front side.
- Compared to the texture files, textures' colors are inverted in-game due to them acting as masks for the re-colored base texture, base.png. That means white is visible, while black is transparent.
