How to Customize Flags and Hanging Banners in the Loom

You do not need to learn any new dyeing mechanics to decorate items from Ent’s Flags Mod. Both horizontal flags and hanging banners integrate directly into the vanilla Loom interface.

Choosing Your Base Color

Before applying patterns, craft your horizontal flag or hanging banner at a crafting table using your desired color. All 16 standard Minecraft dye colors are supported as base colors for both banner styles.

Applying Dyes and Patterns

To add custom emblems, stripes, or borders to your flag or hanging banner, follow the standard loom process:

1. Place and open a vanilla Loom block.

2. Insert your horizontal flag or hanging banner into the top-left banner slot.

3. Place any of the 16 vanilla dyes into the dye slot next to it.

4. Select a design from the center preview list, or insert an optional Banner Pattern item into the bottom pattern slot for special emblems (such as Creeper charges, skulls, or globes).

5. Pull the finished flag or hanging banner from the output slot on the right.

Layering Multiple Patterns

Just like vanilla banners, you can place an already-patterned horizontal flag or hanging banner back into the Loom's input slot. Add another dye color and select a new pattern to layer multiple designs onto a single waving flag or shop sign.
