Usage[edit | edit source]

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).

  • Water can be placed below wall banners

Patterns[edit | edit source]

See also: List of patterned banners

A banner may have up to six layers of patterns, which are overlaid with the last-added on top. Patterns can colored with any of the 16 dye colors.

A loom is used to add patterns. All patterns require a dye, but some of them also need a banner pattern item, which is not consumed in the process.

Loom recipes[show][edit]

Main page: Template:Banner pattern loom recipes

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.

Crafting recipes[show][edit]

Main article: Banner/Banner pattern crafting recipes

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

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[edit | edit source]

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.

 Copies pattern; both banners must have the same base color, and the one having a pattern copied onto it must have no preexisting pattern.

Renaming[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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

Note blocks[edit | edit source]

Banners can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass" sounds.

Data history[edit | edit source]

1.1317w47aThe colors for the banner, wall_banner and standing_banner ID have been split up into their own IDs.
Prior to The Flattening, these blocks' numeral IDs were 176 and 177, and the item's 425.

Issues[edit | edit source]

Issues relating to "Banner" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • With 16 blank banners, 42 patterns of 16 colors each (608 uniquely-colored patterns), and 0 to 6 patterns per banner, the number of uniquely crafted banners is 16×∑k=06(16×42)k=1,475,646,641,940,097,552 or approximately 1.47 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 1.27 × 1046 (12.7 quattuordecillion), or exactly 12,696,344,039,844,551,126,101,565,750,244,757,433,489,827,856.
  • 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.
