Light Blue Banner — wall-mounted

Overview

Light 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.

Light Blue Banner — wall-mounted is a coloured block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. It is available only in Creative mode or through commands. At a hardness of 1 it takes a moment to break but never slows a build down.

Any tool works, and so do bare hands. What you actually collect is Light Blue Banner. It is transparent, which matters when you are managing light levels.

With a blast resistance of only 1 it will not survive an explosion. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.

About the light blue set

How long it takes to break

At a hardness of 1, Light Blue Banner — wall-mounted takes 1.5 seconds to punch out and 0.2 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.

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

No particular tool tier is required: any tool, or none at all, still yields the drop, so the table below is about speed rather than about whether you get anything.

Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, which makes Efficiency V roughly 4 times faster than the plain tool.

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

Light 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. Fire spreads to it readily (encouragement 60, burn 20), so keep it away from lava and away from anything you would rather not lose. An axe is the fastest choice here. A tool of the wrong class is no better than your fist — the speed bonus is tied to the block's own tool tag. Broken normally it drops Light 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)
