Build a target game that lights up and rings when someone hits it.

  • New skill Putting redstone pieces together into a game
  • Level 1 · The Village
  • Difficulty Beginner
  • Mode Creative
  • Time 40–60 min
  • Ages 13+

What you’ll build

Design your own target game. You'll build an arena with a target at one end, then wire it to a lamp and a note block so a hit lights up and rings. Test it with a bow, write the rules and challenge a family member while you keep score.

Finish line: Your game lights up or rings on a hit, and a family member plays it using your rules.

Bonus challenge: Add a second target that's harder to hit, worth bonus points.

You’ll need

  • Target blocks
  • Redstone dust
  • Redstone lamps
  • Note blocks
  • Bow and arrows
  • A family member to play

You choose

  • Game rules (shots and points)
  • What happens on a hit (lamp, bell or both)
  • My arena's name

Stuck?

  • Lamp flickers but bell is silent? Keep the space above the note block empty and check the dust points into it.
  • Hits near the edge send a weaker signal, so keep the lamp and note block close to the target.
  • Keep players behind the shooting line, and never aim at pets or animals.
