DescriptionFive bands of rainbow fading down a white field, red at the top and light blue at the base. Cheap, cheerful and impossible to mistake for anyone else's shield in a crowded arena. Gradients stack darkest first, so apply the red before the light blue or the order inverts.

    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.
