What is Black Banner in Minecraft?
A black banner is a tall, decorative block that you can customize with all sorts of patterns and colors. It is made from black wool and a stick. The main purpose of a black banner is to be a flag or a decoration. Players use them to represent their team on a server, mark their home base so they can see it from far away, or just to add a splash of bold, dark color to their builds. You can place a black banner on the ground, where it will stand up on a post, or on the side of a wall. What makes banners so special is that you can take them to a loom and use dyes to create incredibly detailed patterns on them, from simple stripes to complex images like a skull or a flower.
How to get Black Banner in Minecraft
There are a few ways to get a black banner. The most common way is to craft it. To do this, you will need six pieces of black wool and one stick. You can get black wool by dyeing regular wool with black dye (from ink sacs), or by finding black sheep. Once you have the materials, open a crafting table. Place the six black wool in the top two rows of the crafting grid, and place the stick in the middle slot of the bottom row. This will give you one black banner. You can also find black banners naturally in the world. They generate in End cities, which are rare structures found in the End dimension. They also appear on the outside of woodland mansions as illager banners, though these have a special pattern on them. You can break these banners to collect them.
How to use Black Banner in Minecraft
The most exciting use for a black banner is customization. Take your banner to a loom, and you can add up to six layers of patterns using different colored dyes. You can create stripes, gradients, borders, and even special patterns if you have a banner pattern item. This allows you to create a unique flag for your castle or a cool design for your shield. You can combine a banner with a shield in a crafting grid to put the banner's design on your shield. You can also use a black banner to mark a location on a map. If you place a banner and then use a map on it, a marker will appear on your map, which is great for remembering important places. As a decoration, they look great hanging from castle walls, on flagpoles, or as curtains.
