How to Craft Orange Banner in Minecraft

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

At a Crafting Table, an Orange Banner asks for 6 Orange Wool and 1 Stick. Copy this shape: six Orange Wool in a solid 2x3 block in the top and middle rows and a single Stick in the bottom-middle cell. One go makes 1 Orange Banner. Orange Banners double as furnace fuel: 300 ticks each, so 43 of them smelt a full stack of 64.

Orange Banner Item ID and Give Command

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

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

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