Where to Find Loom in Minecraft

Loom can turn up across All Overworld biomes (crafting) and Villages (Shepherd houses), so the search area spans more than one place depending on which method you use. Apply patterns to Banners using dyes and optional banner pattern items. Much easier than the old crafting-table method for complex banner designs. The main non-crafting route is trading with the right villager.

The most reliable way to get Loom is to craft it at a Crafting Table from String and Oak Planks, because crafting is repeatable and does not depend on luck. Before you can craft it, gather the ingredients: String (kill spiders, or break cobwebs in mineshafts) and Oak Planks (crafted from any logs). Serves as the job site block for Shepherd villagers. It stacks to 64, so a single mining or crafting session can comfortably bank a chest's worth for later projects. Worth noting on the version side: Added in 1.14 (Village & Pillage). As a utility block, Loom is the sort of thing you place once and use constantly, so most players craft an early one and add more as their base grows.

Players hunting for Loom often look for Cartography Table, Crafting Table, and Shield as well, since they share locations, recipes, or a progression path. For full stats and the crafting grid, the dedicated Loom item page has the complete breakdown.
