Blue Banner — wall-mounted — Minecraft block

Overview

Blue Banner — wall-mounted is one of the 16 variants of White Banner — wall-mounted: same recipe, same hardness, same drops — only the look differs. The full write-up for the set is on the White Banner — wall-mounted page.

Minecraft classifies Blue Banner — wall-mounted as a coloured block. This is a Creative-mode block; Survival players will never hold one. Its hardness of 1 makes it a normal, unhurried block to mine.

You can break it by hand without losing the drop. Breaking it produces Blue Banner. Light passes through it, so it will not darken the space behind it.

It offers almost no protection from explosions (1 blast resistance). No recipe takes it as an ingredient.

About the blue set

How long it takes to break

Blue Banner — wall-mounted sits at hardness 1: 1.5 seconds per block with your fists, 0.2 with the correct netherite tool.

Iron manages 0.25 seconds and diamond 0.2, which makes iron the tier that changes how this block feels.

The drop does not depend on the tool — bare hands work as well as anything — so the table below is purely about speed.

Each Efficiency level adds level² + 1 to the tool's speed, so a level V tool clears this about 4 times faster than an unenchanted one.

Tool	No enchantment	Efficiency III	Efficiency V
Hand	1.5 s	1.5 s	1.5 s
Wooden	0.75 s	0.15 s	0.1 s
Stone	0.4 s	0.15 s	instant
Iron	0.25 s	0.1 s	instant
Diamond	0.2 s	0.1 s	instant
Netherite	0.2 s	0.1 s	instant
Golden	0.15 s	0.1 s	instant

Properties

Blue Banner — wall-mounted has a blast resistance of 1, so any explosion nearby destroys it. It lets light through and emits no light of its own. Flammable, at encouragement 60 and burn 20: build with it away from lava, and do not use it as a wall you care about. An axe is fastest here; any other class mines it at bare-hand speed, because the bonus only applies to the class the block is tagged for. Broken normally it drops Blue Banner rather than itself; Silk Touch is what returns the block, and Fortune raises the ordinary drop instead.

Required tool: Any
Flammable: Yes (60/20)
