Banners are Blocks that were added in Update 1.2.

Obtaining[]

The main way to obtain Banners is by Crafting them. They can also be found in End Cities and Woodland Mansions.

Crafting[]

6 Wool of same color + 1 Stick => 1 Banner
1-8 Dyes + 1 Banner => 1 Banner with pattern
1 Banner + 1 Shield => 1 Shield (with Banner's pattern)^(upcoming)

Usage[]

Banners are mainly used for decoration, and can be placed free standing on the ground or hanged on the wall. The Player can design their own Banner Pattern by combining Dyes with the banner in one or multiple operations. They can be walked through, so some Players use them to hide secret rooms in bases.

If crafted with a Shield, the Shield will receive the pattern the Banner has. This doesn't affect the Shield in any way other than it's appearance.^(upcoming)

Trivia[]

It is impossible to add more than 6 patterns to a Banner through Crafting, although up to 16 can be added through the use of Commands.
There are 809 quadrillion possible banner combinations in Minecraft.
