Overview
Lime Banner is one of the 16 variants of White Banner: same recipe, same hardness, same drops — only the look differs. The full write-up for the set is on the White Banner page.
Minecraft classifies Lime Banner as a coloured block. Lime Banner has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. 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. Mining it returns the block itself, so it is safe to relocate. It is transparent, which matters when you are managing light levels.
With a blast resistance of only 1 it will not survive an explosion. The stack limit is 16, so plan inventory space. The recipe calls for Lime Wool and Stick.
It is not used in any crafting recipe.
About the lime set
How long it takes to break
Lime Banner 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.
The drop does not depend on the tool — bare hands work as well as anything — so the table below is purely about speed.
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
Blast resistance on Lime Banner is 1, so any explosion nearby takes it out. It lets light pass and gives off no light. 16 fit in a slot. 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.
