About the Skull Banner Pattern
The Skull Banner Pattern, also called the Skull Charge pattern, adds a skull and crossbones design to a banner when you use it in a loom. Place it in the loom's pattern slot along with a banner and a dye, then choose the skull charge design.
Key facts:
- Works only in a loom, not a crafting table.
- The pattern item is not consumed, so you can reuse it as many times as you like.
- The design is a classic skull and crossbones, great for pirate flags or spooky builds.
How to get the Skull Banner Pattern
You can craft one from a single piece of paper and a skeleton skull. Skeleton skulls are rare drops from skeletons killed by a charged creeper, but you can also find them in some ancient city chests. The pattern itself occasionally appears in dungeon and woodland mansion loot as well, so keep an eye out while exploring.
