Minecraft banner maker with a /give command

A Minecraft banner maker stacks a base dye and up to six patterns, the same limit as a loom. This one shows the banner as you add layers and writes a Java Edition 1.21 /give command for the result.

Base colors: white, light gray, gray, black, brown, red, orange, yellow, lime, green, cyan, light blue, blue, purple, magenta, pink. Patterns include stripes, halves, borders, a circle, bricks, and the creeper, skull, flower and globe charges.

Minecraft banner patterns that need a pattern item

Most of the 42patterns are free at a loom. These only show up when you put the matching banner pattern item in the loom's pattern slot. The item is not used up.

How to make a Minecraft banner

1. Pick a base color. The base is one of the 16 dyes. It becomes the banner item in the /give command, such as white_banner or black_banner.
2. Add up to six patterns. Each layer is a pattern and a dye, painted on top of the last. Vanilla stops at six layers. The loom uses the same limit.
3. Copy the command or download the PNG. The /give command uses the 1.21 item-component format. The PNG is the same design, for a thumbnail or a server post.
