Targeting

Targeting

Execute commands on the actual player who triggered them.

Overview

Targeting introduces a new selector, @t, designed to solve one of Minecraft’s long-standing limitations: reliably identifying the player who activated a redstone-triggered command.

In vanilla behavior, command blocks triggered by buttons, pressure plates, or other redstone inputs lack direct context about who caused the activation. This mod bridges that gap by dynamically binding the triggering player to command execution.

Key Feature:

@t Selector
Targets the player responsible for triggering the command block, whether via:
Button press
Lever toggle
Pressure plate
Any redstone interaction linked to a command block

Why This Matters?

Without Targeting, mapmakers and server developers often rely on:

• Proximity-based selectors (@p)
• Complex scoreboards
• Detection loops

These approaches are unreliable, inefficient, or unnecessarily complex.

@t provides precision, simplicity, and performance in a single selector.

Example Usage
Scenario: Teleport the player who pressed a button

Command Block Command:

/tp @t 100 100 100

What Happens:

Player presses a button connected to the command block
The command executes
Only that specific player is teleported to (100, 100, 100)
Comparison
Selector Behavior
@p Nearest player (can be incorrect)
@a All players
@s Command executor (not useful in redstone context)
@t Player who triggered the command
