Loom

Looms are blocks that can be used to apply patterns to banners.

Obtaining
Looms can be mined with or without any tool, but axes are the quickest.

Natural generation
Looms can generate naturally in shepherd houses in villages.

Usage


Right-clicking on a loom will open its GUI. It has 3 slots for a banner, a dye and an optional banner pattern item. When a banner is put in, a list of patterns will appear at the center part. 4 patterns (or 6 patterns in $$) require banner pattern items: Flower charge, Creeper charge, Skull charge, Thing (the Mojang logo), Field masoned, and Bordure indented. Putting a pattern item in its slot will make the loom only show the pattern item.

Selecting a pattern on the list will show the preview of the banner after applying, if a dye is present. To finish, take the banner in the slot beneath the preview. The original banner and the dye will disappear from their respective slots, the banner pattern will not be consumed.

Change profession
If a village has loom but no shepherd, any villager who hasn't already chosen a work station has a chance to change their profession to shepherd.

Fuel
A loom can be used as fuel in a furnace to smelt 1.5 items.

Trivia
In real life, the loom is actually used to weave clothes, wool, etc. but in Minecraft, they are only used to apply the pattern to banners.
