Refield
by evanbones
Refield is a Fabric and NeoForge port for 1.21.1 that extends banners with new patterns, layer limits and placement options.
What it does
Refield reworks banners for decoration builds. Banners can be placed on the bottom, side or hanging-sign positions, connect with hanging signs for creative layouts, and render the player's head when worn in the helmet slot. The default stack size rises to 64, and the layer limit and most other changes can be adjusted in the in-game settings.
The mod is a multiloader port of the 1.21.4 Fabric version and keeps close parity with it, with some changes made for 1.21. The tooltip shows only the most recent 8 layers to avoid a very long list, and the mod also fixes MC-217525. Refield needs YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) to provide its configuration screen. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, both for 1.21.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Expanded banner patterns
A banner system adds new patterns and lifts the vanilla limits on how many layers a banner can hold.
Placement on multiple sides
Banners can be placed on the bottom, side or hanging-sign positions, and they connect with hanging signs.
Player head rendering
Banners worn in the helmet slot render the wearer's head, as vanilla banners do in their own form.
Adjustable settings
Stack size, layer limits and related options are set in an in-game screen built on YACL, and Supplementaries flags are supported when that mod is present.

Use cases
Building with banners
Builders can stack more layers and place banners in more positions to decorate walls, hanging rows and signs.
Who it’s for: Players and builders who decorate with banners, and server owners who want a shared banner setup, since the mod must run on both sides.
How it compares
Better Banners Mod covers the same Fabric and NeoForge loaders and is also client and server, under the MIT License, but its files cover 1.21 – 1.21.11 rather than only 1.21.1. Custom Server Banners is Fabric-only for 1.21.11 and is client-side only, so players can join without installing it. More banner layers is open source under the MIT License, but its files target 1.18 – 1.19.3, which predates Refield's version.
