Usage
Interface for the loom (Placed White Banner And Black Dye)
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 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.
