What is the target block called in Minecraft?

The Target item can be spawned in Minecraft with the below command. Cheats must be enabled before this will work.

If you are running the Essentials plugin, you will need to run /minecraft:give instead of simply /give. This is because the Essentials /give command overrides Minecraft's built-in command.

In the Java edition of Minecraft, target blocks have two different uses with redstone, shooting it with an arrow, or redirecting redstone without the use of repeaters or comparators, this is the the same for Bedrock edition, however, in the Java edition, the target blocks is solid allowing you to redirect a redstone line into it to power say a piston, or hopper, or dropper. But, in bedrock edition it does redirect the redstone, but the target block in Bedrock edition, is not considered a solid block causing its uses to be much more limited in Bedrock.

Mojang, please turn target blocks into solid blocks in Bedrock edition for, it will help with a lot of redstone contraptions, and overall give it more of a use and have more parity with Java.
