How to make the flag of Wales as a banner in Minecraft

The Flag of Wales (Y Ddraig Goch, meaning ‘the red dragon’) consists of a red dragon passant on a green and white field. As with many heraldic charges, the exact representation of the dragon is not standardised and many renderings exist. The flag is not represented in the Union Flag. (Source: Wikipedia)

There are only a few steps to make it in to a banner in Minecraft. After that you can put it on an item frame and even on a shield.

You need:

  • A Loom (2x string and 2x planks)
  • Min 1x white banner (six white wool + one stick)
  • 2x Green Dye
  • 2x Red Dye
  • 1-2 Thing Banner Pattern or 2x extra red dye 1x Shield (for Java edition only)

How to make it:

  • Make a loom. Put two strings and two planks together in the crafting table.
  • Make white banners using 1 stick and six white wool in the crafting table.

Alternative 1

  • In the loom, add the white banner, add the green dye and pick the Per Pale Inverted  Design.
  • Add green dye again and pick the Per Pale Inverted Design once more.
  • Add the Thing pattern and red dye. (Do it twice if you have two Thing patterns).

Alternative 2

  • In the loom, add the white banner, add the green dye and pick the Per Pale Inverted  Design.
  • Add red dye and pick the Lozenge design. Do that twice.

That’s the finished Welsh flag as a banner all done! So now we want to put the Welsh banner on our shield, but first we want a couple more of these banners so we can decorate the village with them.

  • Put the finished Welsh banner in the crafting table. Add more white banners next to it. That’s how you copy or duplicate the banners.
  • Now put one of these Welsh banners next to a shield in the crafting table and now you have a Welsh shield! This only works in Java edition however! At least for now.
