== 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.

* {{EntityLink|Dragon Fireball}}
* {{EntityLink|Egg}}
* {{EntityLink|Ender Pearl}}
