Cyan Banner at a glance

Cyan Banner comes from crafting, and Utility Blocks is where it sits as a block. 16 Cyan Banner fit in a slot, 144 across the hotbar, 864 in a double chest. A furnace takes Cyan Banner too: 1.5 smelts apiece, 24 per full stack.

Cyan Banner owes its colour to cyan dye. A pitcher plant gives two. Mixing one blue dye with one green dye makes two. Cyan Banner is a 1-hardness block. Use an axe on Cyan Banner to speed it up; no particular tier is required. For Cyan Banner the blast resistance is not separate: it is 1 as well. It sits between Cut Copper and Cyan Bed in Utility Blocks, number 99 of 340 there.

Building with it

A Cyan Banner costs six cyan wool, from a pitcher plant or a blue-and-green mix. The colour matches ocean builds and prismarine, so cyan banners tend to end up on docks and underwater bases. Like every banner it can be washed clean in a cauldron if a pattern goes wrong.
