What is Blue Banner in Minecraft?
A blue banner is a tall, decorative block that you can customize with all sorts of patterns and colors. It is made from blue wool and a stick. The main purpose of a blue 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 cool, blue color to their builds. You can place a blue 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 Blue Banner in Minecraft
There are a few ways to get a blue banner. The most common way is to craft it. To do this, you will need six pieces of blue wool and one stick. You can get blue wool by dyeing regular wool with blue dye (from lapis lazuli or cornflowers), or by finding blue sheep. Once you have the materials, open a crafting table. Place the six blue 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 blue banner. You can also find blue banners naturally in the world. They sometimes generate in certain rooms within woodland mansions. You can break these banners to collect them. A much easier way to get a specific banner is to trade with a cartographer villager, who might sell a banner with a globe pattern.
How to use Blue Banner in Minecraft
The most exciting use for a blue 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 blue 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.
