Description

Snout Banner Pattern is a non-craftable Minecraft item found only in the Generic chest loot of Bastion Remnant structures, at a 10.1% chance per chest. Each chest can hold one Snout Banner Pattern at a time, and the item is never renewable because Bastion Remnants generate once per world. The registry id stays minecraft:piglin_banner_pattern even though Java Edition renamed the item from "Piglin Banner Pattern" to "Snout Banner Pattern" in snapshot 20w18a.

A Snout Banner Pattern exists for one purpose: stamping the piglin snout emblem onto a banner. A player drops a blank banner, the pattern, and one dye of any color into a Loom to apply the snout emblem in that dye's color. One pattern survives each stamping, so a single pattern can decorate as many banners as the player can supply dyes for. The piglin snout pairs naturally with blackstone, gilded blackstone, and basalt for Nether-themed builds, and a player who misses a Bastion Remnant must travel to another to obtain a second copy.

Guide

How to get and use the Snout Banner Pattern in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Find a Bastion Remnant

    Travel to the Nether and locate a Bastion Remnant, the blackstone fortress that generates in Nether Wastes, Crimson Forests, Warped Forests, and Soul Sand Valleys.

  2. 2

    Loot a Generic chest

    Search the Generic chests inside the Bastion Remnant; each Generic chest carries a 10.1% chance of holding one Snout Banner Pattern.

  3. 3

    Open a Loom

    Place a Loom or right-click an existing Loom to open the 3-slot pattern interface that accepts a banner, a pattern, and a dye.

  4. 4

    Apply the snout pattern

    Drop a blank banner, the Snout Banner Pattern, and one dye into the Loom, then take the finished banner carrying the piglin snout emblem in the dye's color.

  5. 5

    Reuse the pattern

    The Snout Banner Pattern stays in the slot after each stamping, so one pattern can decorate every banner a player supplies dyes for.

Tip

The Snout Banner Pattern is never craftable and never renewable; a player who needs a second copy must loot another Bastion Remnant in the same world.

Frequently asked questions

How do I craft the Snout Banner Pattern in Minecraft?

The Snout Banner Pattern is never craftable in Minecraft Java or Bedrock Edition; no crafting recipe exists for the item in survival mode. The only survival source is the Generic chest loot of Bastion Remnant structures.
