Sizes and quality

The Banner render is 128 × 128 pixels, the size the game draws the item at in the inventory. It scales up by whole numbers to 1024 px with no interpolation, so the edges stay sharp.

Minecraft banner: patterns, the loom and shields

The banner is a decorative block crafted from six wool and a stick, like a sign, and there is one for each of the 16 colors. It can stand on the ground facing 16 directions or hang on a wall, and it sways gently as if in a breeze wherever it is. Although it looks two blocks tall, its hitbox is only one.

The fun part is customizing it. At a loom you add patterns with dyes, and some patterns also need a banner pattern item, which is not used up. It takes up to 6 layers, each in any of the 16 colors, and the last one washes off in a cauldron of water. In Bedrock many patterns can also be crafted at a crafting table, though they cost more dye.

A decorated banner can be applied to a shield, which then carries the same design, and in Java it can also add markers to maps. It does not burn and cannot be set on fire, water and lava flow around it, and it can be walked through but not pushed by pistons.

Illagers carrying the ominous banner always drop it on death. For a thumbnail or a logo, a banner with your own design is a quick way to give a channel or server an identity.
