Banner

Banners or Flags are upcoming tall decorative blocks, featuring a field that is highly customizable using dyes.

Usage
A banner holds a flag that can take on many different appearances. There are 16 colored blank flags, and numerous patterns each available in 16 colors. A flag can feature up to 6 different patterns.

Banners, much like signs, can be placed both on the ground, facing different directions, and on walls. They can also be placed in item frames, where they simply appear as their item model.

A layer of pattern can be washed off using a cauldron.

Patterns
A banner may have up to six patterns, which are overlaid with the last-crafted on top.

The location of the banner in shaped recipes does not matter, as long as the dyes are in the exact location specified.

Copying
Banners can be copied with a blank banner to make multiple identical banners.

Trivia

 * A banner is, visually, 2 blocks high and 1 block wide, but only uses the bottom block (or top block when placed on a wall); this allows another block to be placed directly above (or below) it.
 * Banners sway in the wind.
 * With 16 blank flags, 33 patterns of 16 colors each (528 uniquely-colored patterns), and 0 to 6 patterns per flag, the number of uniquely crafted banners is 16 × ( 5280 + 5281 + 5282 + 5283 + 5284 + 5285 + 5286 ) ≈ 347 quadrillion (the exact number being 347333622000000000). The number of visually distinct flags is smaller, because patterns may completely cover other patterns.
 * Although it is impossible to add more than 6 patterns to a banner through crafting, it can be done using commands. When hovered over such a banner in an inventory, only the six bottommost patterns are displayed. By using this method, the number of unique banners is approximately 24 trigintillion (one trigintillion is a one followed by 93 zeroes).
 * The Mojang Logo is called "Thing" ingame, which could be considered an alternate translation for mojäng.
