Brown Banner — wall-mounted — Minecraft block

Overview

Brown 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.

Brown Banner — wall-mounted counts as a coloured block in Minecraft 1.21.4. It cannot be obtained in Survival — it exists for Creative mode and commands. Hardness 1 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed.

No specific tool is required to collect it. Instead of dropping itself it yields Brown Banner. Because it is transparent it does not block light.

A blast resistance of 1 means a single creeper will clear it away. It is not used in any crafting recipe.

About the brown set

How long it takes to break

Brown Banner — wall-mounted has a hardness of 1. By hand that is 1.5 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0.2 seconds.

Iron takes 0.25 seconds against diamond's 0.2, so the upgrade worth making for this block is the one to iron.

There is no tier requirement to worry about. Any tool, or none, returns the drop; the numbers below just say how fast.

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

Brown 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. Fire takes to it quickly — encouragement 60, burn 20 — which makes it a poor neighbour for lava or a lit campfire. 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 Brown 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)
