Overview
In Minecraft 1.21.4, White Banner is a coloured block. White Banner is made at a crafting table. Hardness 1 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed.
No specific tool is required to collect it. Broken correctly, it drops itself. Because it is transparent it does not block light.
A blast resistance of 1 means a single creeper will clear it away. It stacks only to 16. You make it with White Wool and Stick.
No recipe takes it as an ingredient.
About the white set
How long it takes to break
White 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.
Nothing here needs a minimum tier: whatever you swing, the block still drops, and the only difference is how long it takes.
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 White Banner is 1, so any explosion nearby takes it out. It lets light pass and gives off no light. Stack size is 16. It catches easily (encouragement 60, burn 20), so keep lava and open flame well away from it and from anything next to it. The fastest tool for it is an axe; any other kind of tool mines it no faster than a bare hand does, because the speed bonus only applies to the tool class the block is tagged for.
