How to install Minecraft Data Packs

Ever since banners were added I've wanted to place them horizontally like flags. Now I have made it possible using this data pack!

FEATURES:

- Place flag in 4 directions

- Displays the banner you actually placed

- Break the block it is placed on to remove it and get your banner back

- Place multiple on the same block!

- Works on multiplayer & survival friendly!

SUPPORTED BLOCKS:

- fences
- walls
- glass panes
- iron bars
- lightning rod
- chain
- bamboo stem

HOW TO USE:

Crouch + click a banner on one of the supported blocks to place your banner as a flag! Break the block it is placed on to remove it.

Break it from the front, because on the back is where the invisible armor stands are located and they won't let you hit the block.

UPDATING:

If you updated from v1.2 or lower to v1.3 or higher then you will need to run the command /function bannerflags:update_flags to update the flags previously placed around you and other players to no longer have a hitbox!

UNINSTALLATION:

If you don't end up liking the pack here are the ways you can remove the flags:

- manually breaking each block that a flag has been placed on so you get the banners back.

or

- writing /function bannerflags:removeall (you wont get your banners back though)


If you already removed the pack then you can use these commands, but you won't get your banners back:

/execute at @e run kill @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand,tag=Flag]


/execute at @e run kill @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand,tag=Flag2]


SUMMARY:

They can be used well for decoration & direction pointers.

If you have any questions or suggestions you can write here or DM me on Discord Gurkis#5195

🚩Banner Flags Update 3.1: [1.20-21.6]


- Added banner waving animation that you can turn on by crouching with a feather in hand next to a flag.


- Added banner swapping, just crouch with a banner in hand next to a flag to swap out the banner.


- Added action bar messages when doing actions.






I backported the update way back to 1.20, so for anyone still on older versions, you can enjoy the new features and improvements like waving, diagonal banners, etc.


Thanks for all the support! 💚

hi, i found a problem, the background in the advancements panel, is not loaded correctly, here is a screenshot, you should change the path and make the image read directly in the folder: "textures/gui/advancements/backgrounds/name image.png " you could put the name of an image already present in the folder, so as not to have problems in the future

Tested in vanilla with no resource packs or anything, works fine for me. I do have a texture path already there thanks :) Issue might be your resource pack?

The problem is not my data pack, the command line that is in the data pack refers to a custom path that does not always work for all texture packs, I recommend putting a standard path as suggested before that refers to the default path of Minecraft. Then do as you think, greetings.

P.S
another suggestion, instead of the head in the tag, you could put a flag and it's cuter than the head ;)

I wanted to put a unique texture path there, so I did. It should just work for you anyway, since it should just look in the default minecraft resource pack. I haven't had issues with that even while using lots of resource packs.



The icon is the head because that's my skin, its unique and all my datapacks show up in that tab, not just Banner Flags.



Its sad that its not working for you but I can't make the experience worse for everyone else just because of one person.

Do as you like, the path you chose is not the default one from MC, I suggest you use the default one as suggested, not all texture packs work, regards.
