Template:Infobox block A banner is a Minecraft:block that can be Minecraft:crafted in 16 different colors, customized in a Minecraft:loom using Minecraft:dyes and Minecraft:banner patterns, and applied to a Minecraft:shield. Template:IN, banners can also be used to add markers to Minecraft:maps.
Obtaining
Breaking
Banners can be broken with or without a Minecraft:tool, but an Minecraft:axe is fastest. Template:Breaking row

Usage
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 Template:Control it on a Minecraft: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 Minecraft:entities can move through them.
Banners cannot be moved by Minecraft:pistons.
Minecraft:Water and Minecraft:lava flow around banners. Template:IN, banners can be Minecraft:waterlogged. Lava can create Minecraft: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).

Patterns
Template:See also A banner may have up to six layers of patterns, which are overlaid with the last-added on top. Patterns can be colored with any of the 16 Minecraft:dye colors.
A Minecraft:loom is used to add patterns. All patterns require a dye, but some of them also need a Minecraft:banner pattern item, which is not consumed in the process. Template:LoadPage
Template:IN, most patterns can also be added through Minecraft:crafting, although this generally requires more dye and may also consume valuable items such as Minecraft:enchanted golden apples. Designs that require uncraftable banner pattern items (e.g. globe or gust) are not available through crafting. Template:LoadPage
Custom banner and shield designs can be previewed using this tool:Template:Calculator
Template:IN, a banner can have more than six layers of patterns if obtained through commands (such as Template:Cmd or Template:Cmd) 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}]]
Template:IN, 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
Minecraft: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.
Template:IN, the banner with the pattern must be to the left of or above the blank banner in the crafting table. Template:Crafting
Renaming
Like other items, banners can be renamed on an Minecraft: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 Template:In gives the shield the custom banner name.
Template:IN, a banner can also be given a custom name by using the Template:Cmd command on a banner block to change its CustomName NBT tag.
Map marker
Template:Exclusive Template:IN, pressing the Template:Control control on a banner while holding a Minecraft:map places a marker of the banner's position on the selected map, and pressing Template:Control 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 Minecraft:cartography table. If the banner is renamed, the name appears below the marker.
Helmet
Template:Exclusive While a banner cannot be equipped in the head slot in Minecraft:Survival mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear on top of the player. This is how Minecraft:raid captains wear banners.
Chestplate
Template:Exclusive While a banner cannot be equipped in the Minecraft:chestplate slot in Survival mode, equipping it using NBT editors causes it to appear on top of the player. This is how Minecraft:raid captains wear banners.
Fuel
Banners can be used as a fuel in Minecraft:furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per banner.
Note blocks
Banners can be placed under Minecraft:note blocks to produce "bass" sounds.

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 <math>16 \times \sum_{k=0}^6 (16 \times 42)^k = 1,475,646,641,940,097,552</math> 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.
