Loom

A loom is a block that can be used to apply patterns to banners. Before 1.14, users would have to memorize almost 40 different combinations to craft custom banners, which to many is a huge pain. But now with this new block, it's much easier to customize your banners with just one tool.

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

* Times are for unenchanted tools in seconds.

Crafting
Loom block can be crafted from any type of wood planks and string from spiders or cobwebs.

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 require banner pattern items: Flower charge, Creeper charge, Skull charge, and Thing (the Mojang logo). Putting a pattern item in its slot will make the list show only itself.

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.
