A '''target''' is a [[Minecraft:block]] that produces a temporary redstone signal when hit by a [[Minecraft:projectile]]. Unlike most other conductive blocks, it also redirects adjacent [[Minecraft:redstone dust]] toward it.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Targets can be [[Minecraft:breaking|mined]] using any [[Minecraft:tool]] or by hand, but using a [[Minecraft:hoe]] is the fastest way to break it.

=== Natural generation ===
In [[Minecraft:ancient cities]], a single target can be found integrated into circuitry within a secret room at the city center.

== Usage ==
Targets emit a [[Minecraft:redstone]] signal when hit by [[Minecraft:projectile]]s. The closer a projectile is to the center of the [[Minecraft:block]], the stronger the redstone signal that is produced.

The following projectiles can activate a target block:
* {{EntityLink|Arrow}}
* {{EntityLink|Bottle o' Enchanting}}
* {{EntityLink|Dragon Fireball}}
* {{EntityLink|Egg}}
* {{EntityLink|Ender Pearl}}
* {{EntityLink|Fireball}}
* {{EntityLink|Firework Rocket}} (including when boosting a [[Minecraft:gliding]] player)<ref>{{ytl|jvtgn1jg3hc|Hermitcraft 9 Ep 44: Scarland's MEGA Entrance Build!! @ 4:42|GoodTimesWithScar|August 15, 2023|t=282}}</ref>
* {{EntityLink|Fishing Bobber}}
* {{EntityLink|Lingering Potion}}
* {{EntityLink|Llama Spit}}
* {{EntityLink|Shulker Bullet}}
* {{EntityLink|Snowball}}
* {{EntityLink|Small Fireball}}
* {{EntityLink|Splash Potion}}
* {{EntityLink|Trident}}
* {{EntityLink|Wind Charge}}
* {{EntityLink|Wither Skull}}

=== Redstone component ===
[[File:Targets redirecting redstone.png|thumb|Targets redirecting redstone toward themselves]]
When struck by most projectiles, the target emits redstone power for {{convert|8|gt|s}}. [[Minecraft:Arrow]]s and [[Minecraft:trident]]s instead cause the target to emit power for {{convert|20|gt|s}}, similar to [[Minecraft:stone button]]s. A target can be hit with any of the projectiles mentioned above.

The strength of the signal depends on how close the projectile is to the center of the block, from 1 to 15.

{{IN|java}}, the target changes its <code>power</code> state when hit, meaning that an [[Minecraft:observer]] can detect if the target has been hit and has produced a redstone signal.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-84391||Observers don't detect target block updates}}</ref>

Being a power source, a target redirects adjacent [[Minecraft:redstone wire]]s to point to itself. As targets are also [[Minecraft:conductive]], this property can be used to compact redstone circuits.
