Overview
Red Banner is a block in the Utility Blocks category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it. Up to 16 Red Banner stack together in a single inventory slot. It doubles as furnace fuel, good for 1.5 smelts before it is used up.
Red Banner owes its colour to red dye. A beetroot, a poppy or a red tulip each give one, and a rose bush gives two. Hardness 1 is what Red Banner is worth in the block data. Its blast resistance repeats that 1, so Red Banner offers no shelter. The game files it under an axe, without a minimum tier attached to Red Banner.
