Additional Banners
by Darkhax
Additional Banners, a Darkhax adventure mod, adds banner patterns that can be crafted from common items or obtained from the wandering trader.
What it does
Each new pattern is made by a shapeless recipe that combines paper, shears and a stencil item. The shears are not consumed, but the crafting step costs them some durability. Some patterns cannot be crafted and appear only in the wandering trader's stock.
The patterns use familiar sources: grass block, jack o' lantern, red mushroom, kelp, any boat, snowball, shield and ink sac. Because they are ordinary banner patterns, they can be applied in a loom like vanilla ones, which lets builders decorate base interiors and exteriors with more variety.
The mod needs Bookshelf and Fabric API. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and it is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 38 release versions, 1.8 – 26.3.
Key features
Crafted banner patterns
Several patterns are made with a simple material list, so no special resource is needed.
Trader-only patterns
Some patterns are not craftable and can be bought only from the wandering trader.
Tool wear on crafting
The shears keep their place in the recipe but lose durability with each craft instead of being consumed.
Varied pattern themes
Patterns cover nature, food, vehicles and gear, from grass and kelp to boats and shields.

How it compares
GD CraftsEnhanced is open source under the MIT License, for 1.20 – 26.2 on all four loaders, and is needed on the server, with the client optional. MoreLeads is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, for 1.16.3 – 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and runs on the server alone. Additional Banners is the only one of these that needs both sides to run.
