About Target

The Target is a block that turns ranged hits into redstone power. Shoot it with an arrow, hit it with a trident, or throw a snowball at it, and it emits a redstone pulse. The closer the shot lands to the centre, the stronger the pulse.

Key facts:

Outputs a redstone signal from 1 to 15 strength, depending on accuracy.
Works with arrows, tridents, snowballs, eggs, and other projectiles.
The pulse is brief, so use a pulse extender if you want a longer signal.
Great for archery minigames, target practice, and hidden redstone triggers.

How to get Target

You get the Target by crafting it. Combine one hay bale with four redstone dust, and the recipe produces one target. Redstone is common when mining, and the hay bale comes from nine wheat, so a small wheat farm covers that part. Crafting is the only way to obtain it in survival; it is not found in chests or sold by villagers.
