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|redstone dust]] towards it.

== Obtaining ==

=== Natural generation ===

A target can be found in [[Ancient City|ancient cities]].

=== Breaking ===

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

== Usage ==

Targets emit a [[redstone]] signal when hit by most projectiles. This includes [[arrow]]s, [[trident]]s, [[egg]]s, [[snowball]]s, [[splash potion]]s, [[fire charge]]s fired by a [[dispenser]], [[firework rocket]]s, [[lingering potion]]s, [[Bottle o' Enchanting|bottles o' enchanting]], [[ender pearl]]s, shulker bullets, and [[llama spit]]. The closer a projectile is to the center of the [[block]], the stronger the redstone signal that is produced.

=== Redstone component ===
When struck by most projectiles, the target emits redstone power for 4 [[Tick#Redstone tick|redstone ticks]] (0.4 seconds). [[Arrow]]s and [[trident]]s instead cause the target to emit power for 10 redstone ticks (1 second), similar to 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.

The target also provides a block update when hit, meaning that an [[observer]] can detect if the target has been hit and has produced a redstone signal.{{only|je}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-84391}}</ref>

When used as part of a redstone circuit, a target has the unique property that, though being an [[opacity|opaque]] block that is not a mechanism component, still can redirect adjacent [[redstone dust]] to point to itself.
