This bug is specific to people reporting that the texture of banners are higher quality than the shields.
MC-87658 specifies the center offset of the Middle Circle, the Flower and the Curly Border.
Just posting this to clarify for reporters.
The attachment Banner_Bug_20210211-1538.png should be removed, it is not relevant to this report (was about another bug)
This is still a thing in 1.19 Pre-release 2. I really think it would be great if this could be given more priority after being unresolved for 7 years.
It absolutely can easily be fixed regardless of those things; porting happens all the time, and all that needs to match is uv mapping; whether pixel size is different from the base shield texture means nothing.
Simply copy pasting the banner pattern textures and moving them to the appropriate area in the texture mapping so UV is the same fixes this.
Unfortunately, this error is difficult to fix because the resource went to Minecraft Bedrock with the same error and because the shield has fewer pixels than the banner.
With that in mind, a poster was created in the ideas area to get to Minecraft called “Power of combining banners with helmets”. Showing ideas, thoughts and situations that can help this feature reach the game. Anyone who wants to support can vote on the official Minecraft website where this poster was made:
Note: There is a solution for this error but this poster tries to bring another solution, because this error was reported a long time ago and unfortunately it has not yet been corrected.
Could you post screenshots of the 'strange pattern' so that it is more easily viewable to others
EDIT: Can confirm, they are more pixelated.
