A target is a 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

[edit | edit source]

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

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]

In each ancient city, a single target can be found integrated into circuitry within a secret room at the city center.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Targets emit a redstone signal when hit by projectiles. The closer a projectile is to the center of the block, the stronger the redstone signal that is produced.

The following projectiles can activate a target block:

Redstone component

[edit | edit source]
Targets redirecting redstone toward themselves

When struck by most projectiles, the target emits redstone power for 8 game ticks (0.4 seconds). Arrows and tridents instead cause the target to emit power for 20 game ticks (1 second), 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.

In Java Edition, the target changes its power state when hit, meaning that an observer can detect if the target has been hit and has produced a redstone signal.[2]

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.
