FAQ
What tool do I need to mine a banner?
None required — any tool or bare hands break it instantly and it always drops itself.
Why is this called a "wall banner"?
It's the block state Minecraft uses automatically when a banner is placed against a wall instead of standing on the floor; both states drop the same Blue Banner item.
Do banners burn?
No, banners themselves are not flammable, though nearby lava can still ignite adjacent air blocks.
How many pattern layers can a banner have?
Up to six layers can be applied via repeated loom crafting.
