FAQ
What tool do I need to break a Blue Banner?
None required — it can be broken by hand instantly, though an axe breaks it fastest.
Is a Blue Banner affected by Fortune or Silk Touch?
No. It always drops itself as a single banner, patterns and all.
How many patterns can I add to a Blue Banner?
Up to six layers total, applied one at a time using a loom with dye and, for all but the base layer, a pattern item.
Can Blue Banner patterns be put on a shield?
Yes. Placing the patterned banner together with a shield in a crafting grid copies the design onto the shield.
