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

You need 6 Green Wool and 1 Stick, plus a Crafting Table to assemble them on. Laid out, that is six Green Wool in a solid 2x3 block in the top and middle rows and a single Stick in the bottom-middle cell. Expect 1 Green Banner from every craft. Fuel value is 300 ticks, putting 43 Green Banners behind a full stack of 64.

Green Banner Item ID and Give Command

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

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

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

Overview
