More Banner Features
by DomiIRL
Players who want banners on more than walls and standing poles can use More Banner Features, a Fabric mod that attaches banners to horses, boats and other entities.
What it does
Banners can be placed on a boat, a horse, a mule, a donkey, a strider and a villager. Each entity shows the banner it carries, so a server can mark its vehicles and mounts with the same designs players use on blocks.
Players can wear a banner as a cape or as a hat. Equipping a chestplate and a helmet together with banners is also supported, and banners can be hung below blocks or fixed to minecarts. Trinkets and Trinkets Canary add a slot for the cosmetic items when installed.
The mod needs Fabric API on Fabric. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and the optional Accessories, Mod Menu, Trinkets and Trinkets Canary integrations are detected when present. Files are published for Fabric only, for 19 release versions, 1.17 – 26.3, under All rights reserved, and the source code and issue tracker are public. The latest file is 2.3 for 26.3, dated 2026-10-01.
