Banners and shields

Every design here is also on the banner designs page, drawn on a full banner. The Banner Maker switches between the banner and the shield as you design, and gives the command for either.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you put a design on a shield in Minecraft?

Make the design on a banner at a loom, then put the banner and a plain shield anywhere in a crafting grid. The shield takes the banner's base colour and patterns, and the banner is used up. On Bedrock the shield and banner go in the crafting table the same way.

Can you change a shield's design?

No. The crafting recipe only takes a shield with no design on it, so a decorated shield stays as it is. Craft a new shield (six planks and an iron ingot) for the next design.

Why does my design look different on the shield?

A shield's face is half the size of a banner's, 10 by 20 pixels against 20 by 40, and the game draws each pattern with its own shield texture. Thin stripes and letters come out blockier. The pictures on this page use the game's shield textures, so they show what you will get.

How many patterns can a shield have?

As many as the banner had: six from a loom. A /give command can add more, which is how the ominous banner design shows all eight of its layers.
