Make and apply a banner
The pack supports custom banner patterns on its upgraded shield designs. Here's how to get one:
1. Craft a banner in any color. Use a loom if you want to add patterns.
2. Open a crafting table or your inventory crafting grid.
3. Place your shield and the banner together in the grid. Take out the decorated shield.
The banner design now appears on the shield's custom 3D model. The pack has separate bannered versions, such as shield1_bannered and shield2_bannered, so the pattern fits the shield's shape and damage tier.
Show off and check your design
1. Equip the bannered shield and switch to third-person view (press F5) to see it clearly.
2. Hold Right Mouse Button to block. Your banner pattern stays on the shield in its blocking pose.
3. Use the shield in combat. As it takes damage and moves to a more worn model, the banner design moves with it.
Tips
- Simple patterns with strong contrast are easiest to read on a battered shield.
- Try different designs on different shields so you can tell them apart in your hotbar.
- Vanilla only lets you apply a banner to a shield that doesn't already have one. Keep a spare plain shield if you want to try another design.
