Overview

Gray Banner is a block in the Utility Blocks category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it. Up to 16 Gray Banner stack together in a single inventory slot. It doubles as furnace fuel, good for 1.5 smelts before it is used up.

Gray Banner owes its colour to gray dye. A closed eyeblossom gives one. Mixing one black dye with one white dye makes two. Hardness 1 is what Gray Banner is worth in the block data. Blast resistance on Gray Banner is that same 1. The tool tag on Gray Banner is an axe, with no tier requirement behind it.
