FAQ

What tool breaks a banner fastest?

An axe. Banners can still be broken instantly by hand or any tool since they have very low hardness.

Does a banner drop itself when broken?

Yes, along with any pattern layers applied at a loom.

Can I use a banner to mark a map?

Yes, in Java Edition. Right-clicking a held map while looking at a placed banner adds a colored marker at that location.

Is a banner flammable?

It does not catch fire from nearby flames the way wool does, but it will burn away if directly touched by lava.
