FAQ
What is the difference between a Black Banner and Black Wall Banner?
They are the same item; the wall variant is simply the block state used automatically when a banner is placed on the side of a block instead of standing on the floor.
Do I need Silk Touch to pick up a banner?
No, banners always drop themselves along with any applied patterns when broken with any tool.
Can a banner catch fire?
Banners do not ignite on their own but will burn if directly exposed to lava or fire, since wood-based blocks are flammable.
How many pattern layers can a Black Banner hold?
Up to six layers total, including the banner's base color, applied through repeated loom use.
