2. Add Items to make a Brown Banner

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a brown banner, place 6 brown wool and 1 stick in the 3×3 crafting grid.

When making a brown banner, it is important that the brown wool and stick are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 3 brown wool. In the second row, there should be 3 brown wool. In the third row, there should be 1 stick in the middle box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a brown banner.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the brown banner will appear in the box to the right.

3. Move the Brown Banner to Inventory

Once you have crafted a brown banner, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
