How to Craft Cyan Banner in Minecraft

Cyan Banner in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own block model. Decoration. Minecraft has used the name Cyan Banner since 1.8.

With a Crafting Table placed, 6 Cyan Wool and 1 Stick are what a Cyan Banner needs. Place them as six Cyan Wool in a solid 2x3 block in the top and middle rows and a single Stick in the bottom-middle cell. Done once, that is 1 Cyan Banner. Fuel value is 300 ticks, putting 43 Cyan Banners behind a full stack of 64.

Cyan Banner Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Cyan Banner is minecraft:cyan_banner. In commands the namespace may be left off, so cyan_banner works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p cyan_banner
Give a full stack of 16
/give @p cyan_banner 16
Give it to a named player
/give Steve cyan_banner 1

Cheats have to be on for Cyan Banner to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.

Overview
