Red Banner — wall-mounted — Minecraft block

Overview

Red 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.

Red Banner — wall-mounted is a coloured block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. 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 Red 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 red set

How long it takes to break

Red 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.

The Efficiency formula is level² + 1 added to tool speed — at V that is about 4 times the unenchanted rate.

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 Red Banner — wall-mounted is 1, so any explosion nearby takes it out. It lets light pass and gives off no light. It catches easily (encouragement 60, burn 20), so keep lava and open flame well away from it and from anything next to it. 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 Red 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)
