Overview
Purple Banner is a block in the Utility Blocks category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it. Up to 16 Purple Banner stack together in a single inventory slot. It doubles as furnace fuel, good for 1.5 smelts before it is used up.
Purple Banner owes its colour to purple dye. It has no plant of its own: mixing one blue dye with one red dye makes two. On the hardness scale Purple Banner sits at 1. Reach for an axe if you want Purple Banner fast; the wooden one already drops it. There is no second figure for Purple Banner; explosions meet 1 too.
