In this article, we will discuss the target block and provide detailed information about it. You will learn what the target block is, how to obtain it, its uses, and the achievements you can unlock by using it. It is important to read this guide carefully as we will also provide tips and tricks for a better understanding of the blocks and their mechanisms.
What is Target block
A target block is a special block that is used for redstone mechanism or for activities that involve hitting or interacting with specific blocks in projectiles like, ice, arrow, etc.
How To Get Target Block
To obtain a target block, crafting is the only option as it is not naturally generated in the game. To craft a target block, we need certain items. I have listed the requirements for crafting a target block and provided the easiest recipe to do so.
Target Block Minecraft Recipe
To craft target blocks in Minecraft we need some items and the items are
- 1 Haybales
- 4 Redstone or Redstone dust
Finding these items relatively easy. We can locate hay bales in village wheat farms, or we can craft them ourselves by placing nine wheat on a crafting table filling all 9 blocks, and creating a hay bale. Redstone, on the other hand, can only be obtained through mining. Despite this, both items are readily available, so let’s move on to the crafting recipe.
To make a target block in Minecraft, follow these steps:
- Place a hay bale in the center of the crafting table.
- put four redstones around the hay bales shown in the image.
- collect target block to inventory
Once we have done this, then we will get our target block.

Minecraft target block achievement
In Minecraft, achievements are milestones in the game that don’t provide any tangible rewards, but completing them is one of the best parts of the game. One such achievement is called “Bullseye,” which involves hitting a target block. In this text, I will focus solely on the “Bullseye” achievement and discuss its details.
To complete the Bullseye achievement, you need to hit the red square target block located at the center of the target block. I have provided a video tutorial that will guide you through the process of completing this achievement with ease. Simply follow the steps in the video, and you will be able to complete the achievement.
