Yellow Banner at a glance

Yellow Banner, a block out of crafting, sits under Utility Blocks. A slot of Yellow Banner holds 16, nine slots hold 144, and 432 fill a chest. A furnace takes Yellow Banner too: 1.5 smelts apiece, 24 per full stack.

Yellow Banner owes its colour to yellow dye. A dandelion, a golden dandelion or wildflowers each give one, and a sunflower gives two. Breaking Yellow Banner works against a hardness of 1. Reach for an axe if you want Yellow Banner fast; the wooden one already drops it. It holds up against explosions exactly as well as it does against a pickaxe, and no better. It sits between Wool and Yellow Bed in Utility Blocks, number 335 of 340 there.
