Learn how to make a target in Minecraft to improve your shooting skills and accuracy. Follow these step-by-step instructions to enhance your gameplay.
The Minecraft target is a great addition to role-playing games, you can use the block for training grounds or ingenious mechanisms. We will tell you how to create and use the item most effectively.
Creating a target
For crafting you will need:
- 4 units of red dust;
- 1 sheaf of hay.
Place the components on the workbench, as in our screenshot below, or using the built-in recipe book in the game. Redstone dust around the perimeter, and a haystack in the middle.
Features of work
The target reacts to different types of projectiles. Arrows and tridents produce a 1-second signal. Snowballs and eggs produce a 0.4-second signal. You can experiment and check how long the sound signal from throwing potions and fireworks lasts — you’ll have a fun and practical time.
There are also items in the game that do not activate the target – Ender Pearls and the Eye of Ender.
How to use
Get together with your friends and organize a tournament, because the target in Minecraft has a hit accuracy sensor, it affects the strength of the redstone signal.
- Target center: maximum signal.
- Edges: minimal signal.
- Hitting the center from 30+ meters gives the “Bullseye” achievement.
Unique mechanical properties
The target in Minecraft has a unique ability to attract red dust signal tangentially. This way you can create compact mechanisms, separate parts of the device with a waterproof wall, and save resources.
