Welcome, here is an idea for custom banners.

I have been thinking and I was like, the current banners are cool and stuff, BUT it would be nice if you can make also custom banners. These would work on this way:

You make them on a vanilla workbench, with the normal banner recipie, however: now the type of wool used DOES matter, I mean using blue wool makes it a blue banner and using white wool will make it a white banner, these banners would be especially nice on servers, where there are multiple factions in a Lotr faction so then they can all make there own banner. Just like the vanilla ones you can add paterns and signs to a banner but this time it will be cheaper, I mean you have to use things like god apples! creeper skulls! and nether stars! for the coolest patterns, I think that you should be enabled to make those with less expensive items like flowers, tools, faction banners (like the Noldorin star, the Durin's Folk anvil, or the Gondorian tree) and by putting them in a faction crafting table (as a banner) to make them with some faction touches. I mean as an Elf or an Orc you want to keep some signs of the original banner to prevent your allies from attacking you. To prevent Mevans to code for hours to fix stuff like protecting. These banners CAN'T protect terrain, as they are most for deco, and as a sign to show where your troops are, this means that when it is finally possible to equip your units you can give this banner to a banner bearer and he will show this banner proud. But maybe a new slot would be also cool, this slot will allow you to put a banner in and then the banner will be on your back and above your head. I mean, who doesn't want to wear a banner and still be enable to kill some enemies. I hope you like it and that it won't be too hard to implement. And if you have anything to improve this suggestion tell me.
