Orange Banner — wall-mounted — Minecraft block

Overview

Orange 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.

Orange 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 Orange 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 orange set

How long it takes to break

Hardness 1 puts Orange Banner — wall-mounted at 1.5 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0.2 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.

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 adds its level squared plus one to the tool speed, so Efficiency V is about 4 times faster than the same tool unenchanted.

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

Orange Banner — wall-mounted resists blasts at 1, which is not enough to survive anything explosive nearby. Light passes through it, and it emits none 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 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 Orange 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)
