Properties
A banner holds a flag that can take on many different appearances. There are 16 colored blank flags, 29 basic patterns of 16 colors each (464 uniquely colored basic patterns), and a flag may feature from 0 to 6 basic patterns. This results in 16 × ( 1 + 464 + 4642 + 4643 + 4644 + 4645 + 4646 ) ≈ 160,016 trillion unique flags. The number of visually distinct flags is smaller, because patterns may completely cover other 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.
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.

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 it.
- Banners sway in the wind.
