Craft-free — the shield arrives with the design on it
/give @s minecraft:shield[base_color="blue",banner_patterns=[{pattern:"minecraft:diagonal_up_right",color:"white"},{pattern:"minecraft:diagonal_left",color:"white"},{pattern:"minecraft:stripe_center",color:"red"},{pattern:"minecraft:stripe_middle",color:"red"}]] 1/give wall banner (26.2)
The same pattern stack, as a placeable banner

Loom order, layer by layer
- 1. Craft a blue banner at a loom (3 wool of the matching color + 1 stick).
- 2. Open a loom with the banner, dye, and pattern ingredient.
- 3. Apply diagonal_up_right in white.
- 4. Apply diagonal_left in white.
- 5. Apply stripe_center in red.
- 6. Apply stripe_middle in red.
- 7. Apply the finished banner to a shield via crafting (banner + shield).
Banners hold a maximum of 6 layers. This design uses 4 — under the limit.

Frequently asked questions
Loom layers, shields and flag fidelity
How do you make the United Kingdom flag in Minecraft? +
Start with a blue banner, then apply 4 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 United Kingdom banner? +
This design is rated approximate — the United Kingdom flag has detail Minecraft's 16 dyes and fixed pattern shapes cannot reproduce, so this is the closest achievable version within the six-layer limit.
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.
