   # The patterns don't need to be uppercased. you can type them lowercased along with the colors.
   # Patterns have to be laid out in a specific order, otherwise it won't look right.
   # This also applies to the Items section.
 DisplayPatterns:
   - "base:white"
   - "gradient_up:light_gray"
   - "straight_cross:light_blue"
   - "flower:light_blue"

Item: option​

If you wish to give players a banner or shield with the colors and patterns on them then they work just like any other item in the Items: section.

Example​

Items:
  - "Item:shield, base:white, gradient_up:light_gray, straight_cross:light_blue, flower:light_blue"

RGB Example:​

This is for if you wish to use a custom color instead of preset ones by Minecraft.

Example​

1:
 DisplayName: '<bold><green>Fancy Shield</bold>'
 DisplayItem: 'shield'
 Patterns:
  - 'half_horizontal:255,0,0'
Items:
  - 'Item:shield, half_horizontal:255,0,0'

*Note 255,0,0 is red in RGB.
