Building a Reusable Banner Pattern Library
Craft One of Each Pattern You Need
Every pattern in the mod is a shaped crafting recipe, and the resulting item is reusable at the loom. That means the efficient approach is to craft each pattern once and store it, rather than re-crafting it every time you want a banner.
The full set is: Anchor Banner Pattern, Balance Banner Pattern, Chain Banner Pattern, Dragon Banner Pattern, Frame Banner Pattern, Grass Banner Pattern, Hex Banner Pattern, Kelp Banner Pattern, Moon Banner Pattern, Mushroom Banner Pattern, Phantom Banner Pattern, Prismarine Banner Pattern, Pumpkin Banner Pattern, Scales Banner Pattern, Shield Banner Pattern, Snowflake Banner Pattern, Spider Banner Pattern, Squares Banner Pattern, Squid Banner Pattern, Starburst Banner Pattern, Steps Banner Pattern, Suit Banner Pattern, Sword Banner Pattern, Trident Banner Pattern, and Waterfall Banner Pattern.
Organize and Store
Place a chest beside your loom and sort patterns into it by theme. Keep ocean patterns together, combat patterns together, and decorative patterns together so you can grab the right one quickly.
Label the chest or use item frames to mark which pattern is which. When you need a banner, pull the pattern, apply it with a dye at the loom, and return the pattern to the chest. Because the pattern is never consumed, your library stays intact indefinitely.
If you build in multiple locations, craft a second copy of your most-used patterns and keep a small loom-and-chest station at each site.
