DescriptionA white cross fading into black on a dark field, a knight's shield that looks like it has already been through something. The two gradient layers go on late, which is what dirties the white without covering it.

    How to Apply This Banner to a Shield

    In Minecraft Java Edition, craft the underlying banner using the loom recipe above. Then, place a blank wooden shield and the crafted banner together in any crafting grid. The shield will inherit the banner's pattern.

    To summon the decorated shield directly using commands, select your Minecraft version in the command panel above and click Copy Command.
