Banners are tall decorative blocks in Minecraft that let players add a personal touch to their builds. Making a banner is easy once you have the right materials. This guide covers everything you need to know about crafting and customizing banners in Minecraft, from gathering wool to creating intricate patterns.
What You Need to Make a Minecraft Banner
To craft a basic banner, you'll need:
- 6 matching wool blocks
- 1 stick
Wool comes from shearing sheep. It's best to keep sheep in a fenced area so you have a steady wool supply. Sticks are made by placing 2 wood planks vertically in a crafting grid.
When you have your wool and stick, follow these steps to make a banner:
- Place the 6 wool in the top two rows of a crafting table
- Put the stick in the center of the bottom row
- Move the completed banner to your inventory
The banner's color will match the wool you used. Experiment with different colors to suit your style.
