BannerRetrieval

by Ceedrich

BannerRetrieval lets players take banner shields back off a banner or a shield cauldron, instead of leaving them in place.

FabricServer-side onlyApache License 2.0Open source1.20.4 – 26.1.2

What it does

Players can remove the shield pattern from a banner or from a banner placed in a shield cauldron, which the vanilla game does not allow. The change is made on the server, so only the server needs the mod and players join without installing it. Fabric API is required, and More Shield Variants is optional, with the two working together. Builds exist for Fabric on 1.20.4 – 26.1.2, and the latest file targets 26.1.2.

Key features

  1. Remove banner shields

    A banner's shield pattern can be taken off the banner, so the banner can be reused for other designs.

  2. Shield cauldron removal

    Banners sitting in a shield cauldron can have their shields removed as well.

  3. Works with More Shield Variants

    The mod is compatible with More Shield Variants, so shield patterns from that mod can be removed too.
