📋 About This Mod
Custom banners are fun but extracting and renaming the files is not so here are the 5 base files you need to create your own custom banners.
To customize a banner open up the texture file in an image editing software and add your design to it. Since the banners use a mirrored texture you cannot add text-only shapes. See images for tips on working with the textures. You can even make ripped banners by erasing parts of the texture to leave transparent areas.
The banners should work in multiplayer but everyone needs to have the same textures to see the custom banners as the appearance is local only.
I will continue to add new base shape packs as I make more.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and straightforward—just drop in your custom textures and you're done.
- Gives you full creative control over banner designs, perfect for roleplay or themed playthroughs.
- Community-tested with 145 endorsements and over 3.7k downloads, so it's proven to work.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers the 5 basic banners—no new banner types or meshes.
- Last updated in March 2021, so it might not be compatible with the latest game patches.
