Choosing the Right Additional Banners Pattern for Your Build
Match Pattern to Theme
The mod gives you 25 patterns, and each one reads differently on a banner. Group them by the build they suit:

- Nature and farming: Grass Banner Pattern, Mushroom Banner Pattern, Pumpkin Banner Pattern, Snowflake Banner Pattern.
- Combat and gear: Shield Banner Pattern, Sword Banner Pattern, Scales Banner Pattern, Chain Banner Pattern.
- Abstract and decorative: Balance Banner Pattern, Frame Banner Pattern, Hex Banner Pattern, Moon Banner Pattern, Squares Banner Pattern, Starburst Banner Pattern, Steps Banner Pattern, Suit Banner Pattern.
- Mob-inspired: Dragon Banner Pattern, Phantom Banner Pattern, Spider Banner Pattern.
Plan a Banner Set
Pick two or three patterns that share a theme and craft each one. Use a single dye color across the set so the banners read as a matched collection, then vary the pattern to add visual interest.
For a coastal base, combine Anchor Banner Pattern, Kelp Banner Pattern, and Waterfall Banner Pattern in blue. For a fortress, use Sword Banner Pattern, Shield Banner Pattern, and Chain Banner Pattern in red. For a garden, Grass Banner Pattern, Mushroom Banner Pattern, and Pumpkin Banner Pattern work well in green and orange.
Because each pattern is a reusable item, you only craft it once. Build a small library of the patterns you use most and keep them in a chest near your loom.
