Building with it

The Ominous Banner is the flag a raid captain carries, and it is the one banner you cannot build on a loom: its pattern comes ready-made on the mob. Take it from a captain, place it in your base, and it works as a trophy rather than a crafting ingredient, since the design cannot be copied onto another banner by hand.
