Orange Banner at a glance

Utility Blocks holds Orange Banner: a block out of crafting. Carrying Orange Banner is cheap: 16 to a slot, 144 across the hotbar, 432 in a chest. A furnace takes Orange Banner too: 1.5 smelts apiece, 24 per full stack.

Orange Banner owes its colour to orange dye. An open eyeblossom, an orange tulip or a torchflower each give one. Mixing one red dye with one yellow dye makes two. On the hardness scale Orange Banner sits at 1. An explosion meets the same 1, so Orange Banner is no safer against TNT than against a tool. Speed on Orange Banner comes from an axe, but the drop comes either way. It sits between Ominous Banner and Orange Bed in Utility Blocks, number 227 of 340 there.

Building with it

An Orange Banner starts from six orange wool and a stick. On a loom it takes any of the pattern set, and orange is one of the backgrounds that still reads at distance, which is why it turns up on guild markers and shop fronts. Banners also survive being placed on a wall, so an orange one makes a cheap sign that never burns.
