FAQ

What tool do I need to break it?

Any tool works; an axe is fastest, but there is no minimum tier required to get the drop.

Can a wall banner catch fire?

Yes, banners are flammable and can be destroyed by nearby fire or lava.

Does breaking it drop the wall or standing form?

It always drops the regular Purple Banner item, which can be placed either on the floor or against a wall.

How many pattern layers can I add?

Up to six layers total, combining dyes and optional banner pattern items at a loom.
