by Snuzzle

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.5 – 1.21.11

What it does

Banner Text adds banner patterns made of letters, numbers and symbols, so a banner can display text. Credit for the galactic pattern set goes to goldstargloww, and the shield pattern pack was added by StellarWind22. A Cyrillic-character version is also available. The mod is server required, and players may add it on the client, which is optional. Builds cover 1.20.5 – 1.21.11 and a data pack option exists as well. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Only 1.20.5 and newer snapshots work, and a resource pack is required. Before updating the data pack or the mod, make a backup of the world first.

Key features

  1. Letter and number patterns

    Banners can be styled with letters, numbers and symbols, giving them custom text-like designs.

  2. Themed pattern packs

    Galactic and shield pattern sets extend the banner options, and a Cyrillic character version is included.

  3. Data pack option

    The same patterns are available through a data pack for servers that prefer that route.
