How to make a Banner in Minecraft

01.27.2023

A banner in Minecraft is a tall block that's designed to display a pattern or design. It's the perfect accessory for decorating an interior space. Although you can find banners naturally spawning within Minecraft, the results are not impressive. There are very few options beyond simple white flowers banners in Woodland Mansions or villager faces banners in pillager posts.

Step 1 - Create or find a banner
Step 2- Bleach the banner, if necessary
Step 3: Add dyes and graphics to the banner
Step 4: Place your banner
Step 5: Arrange multiple banners if necessary

It's possible to make your own banner with the right dyes and the right positions. Here's how it works!

Step 1: Create or locate a banner

Step 2: If necessary, bleach the banner

We recommend that you start with white wool for crafting as it will give the best results.

Step 3: Add dyes and graphics to the banner

Once you have enough dye to make your project, it is time to craft it. Proper positioning is key: The pattern you see on your banner will depend on where you place your banner and the dyes in the 3x3 crafting grid.

The placements are intuitive, especially if your goal is to create a crest-inspired design. A single dye will create a square shape in the crafting grid by placing it in the corner. The banner should be in the middle. A large dot will be created if you place a dye in the middle. A border of the same color can be created by surrounding the banner with dyes. A gradient can be created by placing dyes in the upper left and right corners, and the middle sections of the grid. You can also make crosses and X's by placing dyes in the right patterns. A triangle of dyes may create chevrons at either the top or bottom banner. Or, you can diagonally divide the banner using color depending on its placement.

Special designs

Brick - Adding a brick to a brick will create brick patterns. To create a colored brick pattern, combine a single dye with a brick.

Vine: Create a vine by using a dye and your banner will have a wavy border in your preferred color.

Creeper head: This will give you a Creeper-like appearance on the banner in the color that you choose.

You can use this to make a skull with crossbones.

The Oxeye daisy: This provides a vague flower shape.

Craft dyes can be used on banners multiple times. This allows you to create overlays and complement designs to achieve the look you desire. Minecraft offers a tool that allows you to experiment before you waste any materials. You can find lots of great advice on how to create more complicated plans, such as the crests of Houses in Game of Thrones and real-world national flags.

You can create more banner patterns by using a loom with a wider range of logos. However, this is not required to achieve the look you want.

Step 4: Place your banner

Step 5: Arrange multiple banners if necessary

You can create a banner using the same colors by simply placing a blank banner and your dyed banner in the crafting grid. This allows you to easily copy the design without having to gather all the materials again.
