Adding new pattern

There are two ways of adding new pattern, either by creating new item that will hold new patterns or patching existing "pattern holder" (look into assets/flags/itemtypes/bannerpattern.json).

Step 1: Draw texture

For example, assets/flags/blocktypes/banner.json needs two 32x32 grayscale textures.

Other banners might require more, less or different sizes of textures.

In this tutorial we add examplepattern pattern.

Step 2 (Variant 1): JSON patching

First we need to add those grayscale textures to temporary folder

somemod/textures/block/banner/grayscales/pattern/examplepattern/grayscale-top.png
somemod/textures/block/banner/grayscales/pattern/examplepattern/grayscale-bot.png

Then we add two textures for banner itself

[
    {
        "op": "addmerge",
        "path": "/attributes/textures/topsymbol-examplepattern",
        "file": "flags:blocktypes/banner.json",
        "value": { "base": "somemod:block/banner/grayscales/pattern/examplepattern/{color}-top" }
    },
    {
        "op": "addmerge",
        "path": "/attributes/textures/botsymbol-examplepattern",
        "file": "flags:blocktypes/banner.json",
        "value": { "base": "somemod:block/banner/grayscales/pattern/examplepattern/{color}-bot" }
    }
]
