Later layers cover earlier ones, which is how a letter gets its holes: draw the strokes, then paint parts back out in the background colour.
Every design here was rendered with the game's own pattern textures and checked by eye before it went in. The stripes are thick (the top and bottom ones each cover a third of the banner), so a three-bar letter like S fills in solid if you build it the obvious way. That's why S here is a Bend between a Chief and a Base, and why B and 8 start from a banner in the letter colour and cut the holes out.
The loom steps use the names the game shows, such as Chief for the top stripe and Lozenge for the diamond, so you can match them to the loom's tooltips.
Each letter is a stack of stripes on a banner of the background colour, finished with a Bordure in the background colour so the letter has a margin. Every letter and number on this page fits in the loom's six layers. Open one in the Banner Maker's Ready-made designs tab to change the letter and background colours, or type a word to see it spelled out.
You can't make it in a loom. The ominous banner is a white banner with eight layers (Lozenge, Base, Pale, Bordure, Fess, Per Fess, Roundel and Bordure) and the loom stops at six. Pillager raid captains carry it, or you can get one with the /give command on this page.
Ten: Creeper Charge, Skull Charge, Flower Charge, Thing, Globe, Snout, Flow, Guster, Field Masoned and Bordure Indented. Put the banner pattern item in the loom's pattern slot and the pattern shows up in the list. The item isn't used up, so one copy does every banner.
Six from a loom. A /give command can put more on a banner and the game still draws them, which is how the ominous banner shows all eight. A shield takes the same patterns as the banner you combine with it.
Yes. Combine a finished banner with a shield in a crafting grid and the shield copies the design. The Banner Maker also gives a shield /give command and shows the design on a shield before you make it.
