Light Blue Banner at a glance

Light Blue Banner comes from crafting, and Utility Blocks is where it sits as a block. Stack Light Blue Banner 16 high: 144 across a hotbar, 432 in a shulker box, and 864 in a double chest. It is worth 1.5 smelts in a furnace, 24 once a full stack burns.

Light Blue Banner owes its colour to light blue dye. A blue orchid gives one. Mixing one blue dye with one white dye makes two. Light Blue Banner is a 1-hardness block. Its blast resistance repeats that 1, so Light Blue Banner offers no shelter. It is tagged for an axe, and nothing is said about which one. It sits between Lantern and Light Blue Bed in Utility Blocks, number 173 of 340 there.

Building with it

A Light Blue Banner takes six light blue wool and a stick. Because the background is pale, dark patterns show on it almost as clearly as on white, which makes it a practical base for crest designs. On a wall it also works as a marker you can spot from a boat, which is why harbours end up flying them.

In practice

A banner keeps its pattern when it is broken and replaced, and copying one onto a blank banner at a loom preserves the original. Light blue is the base for most sky and ice themed designs, and on a shield it is one of the few colours that stays readable at a distance.
