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

=== Natural generation ===
A target can be found in [[ancient cities]].

== 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, [[bottles o' enchanting]], [[ender pearl]]s, [[shulker bullet]]s, [[Elytra|flying]] players<ref>{{ytl|jvtgn1jg3hc|Hermitcraft 9 Ep 44: Scarland's MEGA Entrance Build!! @ 4:42|GoodTimesWithScar|August 15, 2023|t=282}}</ref>, and [[llama spit]]. The closer a projectile is to the center of the [[block]], the stronger the redstone signal that is produced.

=== Redstone component ===
[[File:Targets redirecting redstone.png|thumb|Targets redirecting redstone toward themselves]]
When struck by most projectiles, the target emits redstone power for 4 [[redstone tick]]s (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.

{{IN|java}}, 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.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-84391||Observers don't detect target block updates}}</ref>

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

Unlike most conductive blocks, it cannot power redstone dust or other targets.
