I would like to be able to use /setblock
to make a blue banner in Minecraft 1.12.
So far I have the following command in progress:
/setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:standing_banner 4
But I've tried adding 4
, Damage:4
, Base:4
, etc to the end, but the banner is always black.
How do I make it blue?
I understand that in 1.13 and above, different banner backgrounds have different colours, for example, blue_banner
. But in 1.12 this functionality has not been added yet. How can I achieve the same in 1.12?

This answer is for 1.12 and older versions.
Your attempt using
Base:4
is the closest to the correct way. However, this is attempting to set a data value. This only sets the direction of the standing banner, not the background colour.You need to move the
Base:4
to the area where NBT tags are stored, in the{}
s after the data value and old block handling.Here's a refresher of the possible values for the banner, for yours and the viewers' conveniences.
