Banner Flags
by Gurkis
Banner Flags lets players place banners horizontally as flags on fences, walls and other pole-like blocks, in eight directions.
What it does
A flag can be placed on a fence, a wall or a glass pane, and several flags may share the same block. Crouching next to a flag pole while holding a diamond enlarges the flag, and the diamond is returned when the flag is broken. A stick flips the flag, and holding a stick in the offhand rotates it. A feather makes the flag wave.
An optional data pack command adds a short delay when placing banners, which keeps players from placing them inside protected areas. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.18 – 26.3 and snapshot builds. The server must run the mod, while a player may skip it and still join. Banner Flags is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. The author lists an issue tracker as the public link.
