About Purple Banner

The Purple Banner is a decorative block you can place on the ground or hang against a wall. It is mostly used to mark areas, decorate bases, and add colour to builds.

Key facts:

  • Stacks to 16.
  • Can be placed facing 16 different directions.
  • Use a loom to add patterns, borders, or other colours.
  • It has no redstone or storage use.

You can break a placed banner by hand to pick it back up, so it is easy to move around.

How to get Purple Banner

The main way to get a Purple Banner is by crafting it. You need six Purple Wool and one Stick. Place the wool in the top two rows of a crafting table and the stick in the bottom middle slot.

Purple Wool comes from dyeing wool with purple dye, which you can craft from red dye and blue dye. Some shepherd villagers also sell coloured banners, so you may be able to trade for a purple one instead.
