Description

Mojang Banner Pattern is a rare decorative item that unlocks the stylized old Mojang logo emblem on banners. The pattern is crafted, not looted: one Paper plus one Enchanted Golden Apple on the crafting grid yields one pattern, with the same recipe in Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. The catch is the apple — enchanted golden apples have been uncraftable since Java 1.9 and Bedrock 1.2.10 and only appear in structure chests: a 22.5% chance in ominous vaults of Trial Chambers, 8.6% in Ancient City chests, and about 3.6% in Woodland Mansions. The Mojang Banner Pattern stacks to just 1 and is effectively non-renewable; it arrived in Java 1.14 and Bedrock 1.10.0, and its rarity has been Rare since Java 1.21.2 and Bedrock 1.21.30.

To use it, open a Loom with a Banner, any Dye, and the Mojang Banner Pattern: the Loom applies the logo layer in the chosen dye color and returns the pattern item intact, so a single copy decorates unlimited banners. Finished banners hang on walls or stand on floors in both editions, and dipping a banner into a Cauldron of water washes off the topmost layer, letting you redesign without losing materials. Crafting the Mojang Banner Pattern once means keeping a lifetime prestige-decoration tool.

Guide

How to craft and use the Mojang Banner Pattern in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Craft the pattern

    Combine one Paper and one Enchanted Golden Apple on the crafting grid to craft the Mojang Banner Pattern — the same recipe in Java Edition and Bedrock Edition.

  2. 2

    Source the Enchanted Golden Apple

    The apple cannot be crafted and only appears in structure chests: ominous vaults in Trial Chambers hold one at a 22.5% chance, Ancient City chests at 8.6%, and Woodland Mansions at about 3.6%.

  3. 3

    Apply it in a Loom

    Open a Loom, place a Banner, any Dye, and the Mojang Banner Pattern in the three slots, pick the emblem preview, and take the finished banner.

  4. 4

    Reuse the same copy

    The Loom does not consume the Mojang Banner Pattern — it returns the item after every use, so one copy decorates unlimited banners in any dye color.

  5. 5

    Display or wash off

    Hang the banner on a wall or stand it on the floor in either edition. To redesign, dip it in a Cauldron with water — each dip removes the topmost layer.

One stack slot

The Mojang Banner Pattern does not stack (maximum 1 per slot), and since the Loom never consumes it, there is no point crafting spare copies.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get the Mojang Banner Pattern?

Craft it from one Paper and one Enchanted Golden Apple on the crafting grid — the same recipe in Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. It does not spawn in mansion chests; the apple is the part found in loot.

Is the Mojang Banner Pattern renewable?

Effectively no: enchanted golden apples cannot be crafted and come only from structure chests, so every pattern costs one whole apple.

Does the Mojang Banner Pattern stack?

No. The Mojang Banner Pattern is non-stackable — a maximum of one item per inventory slot.

Is the pattern consumed in the Loom?

No. The Loom returns the Mojang Banner Pattern after every use, so one copy decorates unlimited banners.

What does the Mojang Banner Pattern add to a banner?

The stylized shape of the old Mojang logo, applied in whatever dye color you choose in the Loom.

Can I remove the emblem from a banner?

Yes. Use the banner on a Cauldron filled with water — each interaction removes the topmost layer without losing the banner.
