Banner Extract
Banner Extract lets players pull the pattern off a banner or shield by dunking it in a cauldron, so the design can be reused.
What it does
Dunking a banner or shield into a cauldron removes its pattern and returns the pattern item. The banner can then be used again as a plain base. Both the server and every player need the mod for the feature to work in multiplayer. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 only, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Pattern extraction
Dunking a patterned banner in a cauldron removes its design and returns the pattern item.
Shield support
Shields with a banner pattern can be dunked in a cauldron the same way, recovering the pattern.
Cauldron interaction
The extraction runs on the vanilla cauldron, so no new block or crafting station is needed.

How it compares
Shield Banner Fix is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.16.5 – 26.3, under All rights reserved and not open source, and it needs the client but not the server. Potion Cauldrons is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is also client and server and not open source, so it covers cauldron use but not pattern removal.

What the author says
This simple mod allows you to extract banners from shields by dunking them in a cauldron. Make sure the cauldron has some water in it, then right click the cauldron with your shield. It's set up to work with modded shields but hasn't been tested yet.
