DescriptionA yellow glow behind black bars with a Skull Charge at the centre, glowstone drawn as light trapped in a frame. Six layers and it genuinely looks like it is lit from behind. The black Skull Charge is the crack in the block, and the gradient behind it the light.

    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.
