How to make the flag of Faroe Islands as a banner in Minecraft

The flag of the Faroe Islands is an offset cross, representing Christianity. It is similar in design to other Nordic flags – a tradition set by the Dannebrog of Denmark, of which the Faroe Islands are an autonomous territory.

The flag is called Merkið, which means “the banner” or “the mark”. It resembles the flags of neighbouring Norway and Iceland.

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 Red Dye
• 4x Blue 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 white red wool in the crafting table.
• Bring the white banner in to the loom.
• Add blue dye. Pick the Pale design. Do that twice.
• Add blue dye. Pick the Fess design. Do that twice as well.
• Add red dye. Pick the Cross design. Do that twice as well.

That’s the finished Faroese flag as a banner all done! So now we want to put the Faroese 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 Faroese 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 Faroese banners next to a shield in the crafting table and now you have a Faroese shield! This only works in Java edition however! At least for now.
