Banner Designer

ℹ️ Patterns, limits & sources

42 vanilla patterns, including Flow and Guster, and 16 dye colors. The base color does not count as a pattern layer. This editor supports up to 6 pattern layers, so every design can be made in Survival.

In Java 1.21.2+, Field Masoned and Bordure Indented also need their reusable pattern items. Java 1.21–1.21.1 exposes those two directly in the Loom. Each layer uses one dye. Existing layers can be removed one at a time in a water cauldron.

The preview uses the separate vanilla banner (20×40) and shield (12×22) face textures. Shield designs are not simply scaled banner images. PNG downloads are pictures, not inventory items; apply the listed layers in a Loom or use the commands to make the item.

Guide

Design a Minecraft banner and shield

Choose a base banner color, then add patterns and dyes in order. The designer offers 42 Vanilla patterns and 16 dye colors. Layer 0 is the base banner; the six pattern slots follow the Survival limit and can be reordered or removed.

Compare the flat banner and shield previews before making the design in game. Their face textures have different proportions, so the shield preview is rendered separately. The 3D character holds the shield and supports Classic and Slim arms; upload a skin to see it with your own character.

Download Banner PNG or Shield PNG for an image of the design. Give Banner and Give Shield copy Java commands for the selected version. Bedrock designs can be followed in the Loom, but Java commands do not work in Bedrock. Required pattern items depend on the selected version.

Save a design file or copy its link to keep or share the pattern order and colors. PNG exports are images, not Minecraft inventory items; use a Loom or a supported Java command to create the banner or shield in game.
