Purple Banner is a decorative block that can be customized with various patterns using dyes and banner patterns. It is crafted using six purple wool and a stick, and its base color cannot be changed once crafted. Banners can be placed on the ground or walls, swaying slightly as if affected by wind.

A Purple Banner can be customized using a loom, with up to six layers of patterns applied. It can also be copied onto a blank banner of the same base color, renamed using an anvil, and used as a map marker in Java Edition. Additionally, banners can be applied to shields to transfer their pattern. Banners cannot be moved by pistons and are non-solid, allowing entities to pass through them. When placed under a note block, they produce a bass sound.
