Until recently, if you wanted to host an archery competition in Minecraft, you had two options. The first was to shoot at live prey – either hostile mobs from a spawner, or passive mobs (noooo not the sheep!).
The second was to use a button, which activates when shot. But buttons are tiny, so the whole thing was really hard. That’s why, at Minecon Live 2019, we introduced a solution. The target block, which will be making its way into the game in update 1.16 – the Nether Update.
