B.E.R.T.
B.E.R.T. lifts the 64-block rendering limit that Minecraft applies to banners, so large banner designs can be displayed in full on a Forge client for 1.20.1.
What it does
Vanilla Minecraft stops drawing a banner pattern once it exceeds 64 blocks. The mod removes that cap on the client, which lets very tall or wide banner builds show every block. The change happens only where the banners are drawn, so the world data and crafting stay as they are.
The mod is client-side only, so a player who wants large banners displayed installs it alone and servers do not need it. It is published for Forge only, with a single build, 1.0 for 1.20.1, released on 2026-05-29. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Banners beyond 64 blocks
Banner rendering is no longer capped at the vanilla 64-block limit, so tall designs are drawn completely.
Adjustable render limit
A slider in the mod menu sets how far the banner drawing reaches, with each change applied to the chunks in view.
Mod menu settings
The options sit in the Mods screen, under B.E.R.T., and changes are saved when the player clicks Done.
Return to the game
After adjusting the slider, the player returns to the game to see the banners redrawn with the new limit.

Use cases
Large banner builds
Builders who make banner murals or tall banner towers can show the whole design without it cutting off at 64 blocks.
Who it’s for: Players and builders on Forge 1.20.1 who decorate with large banner designs and want them rendered in full on their own client.
How it compares
HandPosition is client-side only and published for 1.20.1 under the MIT License, but it changes the position of the held hand rather than banners. Shield Banner Fix works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.16.5 – 26.3 and is client required with the server optional, under All rights reserved, so it covers shield banners instead. Banner Patch is client-side only for 1.12.2 and open source under the MIT License.
