- 3. Apply stripe_center in red.
- 4. Apply stripe_bottom in yellow.
- 5. Apply the finished banner to a shield via crafting (banner + shield).

Frequently asked questions
Loom layers, shields and flag fidelity
How do you make the Germany flag in Minecraft? +
Start with a black banner, then apply 2 pattern layers at a loom in the order listed above. The finished banner can be worn on a shield by combining the two in a crafting grid. If you have cheats enabled, the /give command on this page skips the loom entirely.
How accurate is this Germany banner? +
This design is rated high fidelity — it uses 2 of the six available layers and reads as the Germany flag at any distance.
Does this work in Bedrock Edition? +
The loom steps work identically in Bedrock, so you can build the banner by hand from the layer list. The /give command shown here uses Java Edition component syntax and will not run on Bedrock, which uses a different command format for banner patterns.
