Template:Infobox block An ominous banner is a special uncraftable variant of the Minecraft:banner obtained from Minecraft:raid captains and Minecraft:pillager outposts.

Obtaining

Breaking

Ominous banners can be broken with or without a Minecraft:tool, but an Minecraft:axe is fastest. Template:Breaking row

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

Natural generation

Ominous banners are carried by Minecraft:raid captains.
They are located in Minecraft:pillager outposts.

Template:IN, the ominous banner cannot be crafted or copied because the design uses 8 patterns.

Template:IN, the ominous banner is a separate type that cannot be placed in a loom.

Ominous banners have the following pattern:

Crafting ingredient

Since ominous banners have more than six patterns, adding it to the shield causes the banner to be reduced to six patterns on the shield. Template:Crafting

Ominous banners can be used as a fuel in Minecraft:furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per banner.

Note blocks

Ominous banners can be placed under Minecraft:note blocks to produce "bass" sounds.
