Steps to Use a Loom

1. Place the Loom

To use a loom, first, select the loom in your hotbar. If you don't have a loom in your inventory, you can quickly make one with a crafting recipe for a loom.

Next, position your pointer (the plus sign) on the block where you want to place the loom. You should see the block become highlighted in your game window.

The game control to place the loom depends on the version of Minecraft:

• For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the block.
• For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the block.
• For Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
• For PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
• For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
• For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the block.
• For Education Edition, right click on the block.

2. Open the Loom

Next, open the loom. Your Loom menu should look something like this:

There are 3 slots in the Loom menu so that you can add a banner, a dye and a banner pattern.

3. Add a Banner

Next, place a banner in the loom. You can do this by moving a banner from your hot bar into the banner slot in the Loom menu.

In this tutorial, we are going to use a black banner as our banner.

4. Add a Dye

Next, place a dye in the loom.

In this tutorial, we are going to use cyan dye as our dye.

At this point, you can select one of the available banners in the loom (make sure you use the scroll bar to see all of the options). Or you can continue creating a fancier banner by adding a banner pattern.

5. Add a Banner Pattern

Adding a banner pattern is optional. If you want to try crafting a more intricate banner, you can place a banner pattern in the loom.

In this tutorial, we are going to use a Creeper Charge banner pattern.

6. Move the new Banner to Inventory

Once you have crafted the perfect banner, move it to your inventory.

TIP: Be sure to move the banner pattern back to your inventory as well. You can reuse the banner pattern again.

Congratulations, you just learned how to use a loom in Minecraft.
