  • Although it is impossible to add more than 6 patterns to a banner via crafting, up to 16 can be added using commands.
• Banners, unlike Command Blocks, have not yet been added to the Pocket Edition.
• Banners generate in End Cities as of 1.9.
• On Console Editions, there is a separate crafting section for Banners which is located underneath the firework crafting section if classic crafting is turned off.

Natural generation

Banners generate on the outside of end cities. It is a magenta banner with a black chevron and black inverted chevron.

Banners also generate in woodland mansions.

Getting started

There are 16 colored blank banners, and numerous patterns each available in each of the 16 colors. A banner can featureSpecial attraction up to 6 different 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 both on the ground, facing different directions, and on walls. Banners have no collision mask (they are completely non-solid), so items and mobs can move through banners. Other blocks (including other banners) can be placed on any edge of a banner`s hitbox; which, despite appearing as two blocks tall, it only fills the bottom block (or the top block for banners on walls). Banners can also be placed in item frames, where they simply appear as their item model.

Lava can create fire in air blocks next to banners as if the banners were flammable, but the banners will not burn up (and can`t be burned by other methods, either). Banners also cannot be moved by pistons.

Copying

Banners can be copied with a blank banner to make multiple identical banners.

Banners, much like signs, can be placed both on the ground, facing different directions, and on walls. They can also be placed in Item Frames, where they simply appear as their item model. A layer of patterns can be washed off using a Cauldron, like dyed leather armor. They can also add patterns to shields. Banners can also be used as fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per banner

Patterns

A banner may have up to six patterns which are overlaid with the last-crafted on top. The location of the banner in shaped recipes does not matter as long as the dyes are in the exact location specified.
