New Features in 20w09a

Target Block

Because let’s face it, your aim could use some practice

• The closer you hit to the center, the larger the redstone signal!
• Test your skills with a variety of projectiles, including eggs, snowballs, tridents, and more!
• You will need one hay block and four redstone for this recipe

Zombified Piglin
