Target

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

Zombie Pigmen are now known as Zombiefied Piglins, and they now have ears. Well, at least one ear...

Technical Changes in 20w09a

, , Piglins now have an IsImmuneToZombification data value that prevents them from zombifying in the overworld

Some blocks have been renamed. Turns out singular Fungus in the Nether attempted to falsely present itself as many Fungi – very sneaky!
