Minecraft banners are a great way to customize your base, mark territories, and even create intricate designs unique to your gameplay. Across the Java, Bedrock, and Education Editions of Minecraft, there are several banner patterns you can obtain. This guide will help you understand how to acquire each pattern.
Base Banner Pattern
Regardless of the edition, the base banner pattern remains consistent.
- Crafting a Basic Banner:
- Materials Required: 1 Stick + 1 Piece of Wool (any color)
- Recipe: Place the stick in the bottom-middle slot of the crafting table and the wool directly above it.
- Output: 1 Basic Banner
Rare Banner Patterns
These patterns involve a bit more adventure as you need to face some of Minecraft’s dangerous mobs.

Creating Patterns and Layers
Banners can have up to 6 different layers of patterns on them. You can combine them in numerous ways to create intricate designs and symbols. Combo layers are crafted by adding the banner to a crafting table and placing a dye in a specific design around it, each design contributing to the next layer of pattern.
Remember, each Banner Pattern possesses distinctive visual appeals, hence, before venturing out for rare items like Creeper or Skull charges, you can experiment with basic ones and floral designs to hone your banner-making skills.
