Minecraft:Target

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

Obtaining

Breaking

Targets can be mined using any Minecraft:tool or by hand, but using a Minecraft:hoe is the fastest way to break it. Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

In 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 projectiles. 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:

Targets redirecting redstone toward themselves

When struck by most projectiles, the target emits redstone power for Template:Convert. Minecraft:Arrows and Minecraft:tridents instead cause the target to emit power for Template:Convert, similar to stone buttons. 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.

Template:IN, the target changes its power state when hit, meaning that an Minecraft:observer can detect if the target has been hit and has produced a redstone signal.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Being a power source, a target redirects adjacent redstone wires to point to itself. As targets are also conductive, this property can be used to compact redstone circuits.
