Bray's Better Banners
by Braytonks
Bray's Better Banners adds banner patterns for the loom, including letters, numbers, punctuation and shape patterns that are easier to build.
What it does
The mod adds new banner patterns that appear in the loom's toolbelt. The set covers capital and lowercase letters, numbers and punctuation, so large lettering becomes a matter of picking patterns instead of combining shapes by hand. Letter outlines are included as well.
Players who want more variety for signs, clotheslines or flags can use the added patterns such as Houndstooth, Checkerboard, Buffalo Check and Cobblestone. Combining the new patterns in new ways produces custom designs for builds that need more depth and texture.
The server needs the mod, and the client can run it without it. Bray's Better Banners is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.20.5 – 26.3. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Use cases
Building signage
Large lettering on banners is quicker to build, since the letter patterns replace stacking many blocks of dye and pattern.
Decorating clotheslines
Textured patterns give laundry lines and banner rows more variety in shape and surface.
Who it’s for: Builders who decorate towns, shops or banners on a server and want more pattern options in the loom. Server owners can install it once, and players join without any extra mod.

What the author says
Everyone loves using Banners for writing big letters on builds but some letters are easier to achieve than others and it can sometimes be a hassle to remember how to make them! Bray's Better Banners fixes this by providing an entire collection of letters, numbers and punctuation that look much cleaner than anything…
