Loom

A loom is used to apply patterns to banners. It also serves as a shepherd's job site block.

Breaking
A loom can be mined and obtained with or without any tool, but axes are the quickest. It always drops as an item.

Natural generation
Looms can be found in village shepherd houses.

Applying banner patterns


on a loom opens 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 appears in the center part. 6 or 8 patterns require the following banner patterns: Flower Charge, Creeper Charge, Skull Charge, Thing, Snout, Globe, Field Masoned, and Bordure Indented. Putting a banner pattern in its respective slot makes the loom show only that pattern.

Selecting a pattern or using a banner pattern on the list shows the preview of the banner after applying, if a dye is present. To finish, the player must take the banner in the slot beneath the preview. The original banner and the dye disappear from their respective slots, but the banner pattern is not consumed.

Changing profession
If a village has a loom that has not been claimed by a villager, any villager who hasn't already chosen a job site block 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.

Note Blocks
Looms can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass" sound.
