FAQ
What tool should I use to mine a Target block?
A hoe mines it fastest, though any tool or bare hands will break it and it always drops itself.
What triggers a Target block?
Any projectile — arrows, tridents, snowballs, and more — hit its face, producing a redstone pulse whose strength depends on proximity to the bullseye.
How long does the redstone signal last?
Most projectiles activate it for 8 game ticks, while arrows and tridents extend the activation to 20 ticks.
Is the Target block flammable?
Yes, in Java Edition it can catch fire and burn since it is built around a hay bale.
