Loom crafting recipe

Produces 1× Loom.

This is a shaped recipe, meaning the items must be placed in this specific arrangement on the grid.
Loom can be crafted directly in your inventory or in a crafting table.

About the Loom

The Loom is a workstation used for decorating banners. Right-click it to open a simple editor where you combine a banner with dye to apply one pattern layer. You can repeat this to build up striped, bordered, and shaped designs, and use banner pattern items for special motifs.

Key facts:

Uses one dye per pattern layer.
Works with any banner color.
Also acts as a shepherd villager job site block.

It is not a storage block or a light source, so its main purpose is banner customization.

How to get the Loom

You can craft a Loom from two pieces of string and two wooden planks. The planks can be any wood type. You can also find one already placed in shepherd houses in villages, which is useful if you want a job site block early. Breaking it works with any tool or just your hand.
