Overview
Blue Banner is a block in the Utility Blocks category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it. Up to 16 Blue Banner stack together in a single inventory slot. It doubles as furnace fuel, good for 1.5 smelts before it is used up.
Blue Banner owes its colour to blue dye. A cornflower or lapis lazuli each give one. The game rates Blue Banner at 1 hardness. Blue Banner holds up against explosions exactly as well as it does against a pickaxe, and no better. Reach for an axe if you want Blue Banner fast; the wooden one already drops it.
