How to Set Up the Command Blocks

Command entered in the Command Block:

Command Block A

Block Type: Repeat / Redstone: Needs Redstone
/execute as @p at @s run kill @e[type=xp_bottle]

➡️ This immediately deletes the thrown experience bottle, triggering the next command.

Command Block B

Block Type:Chain / Conditional / Redstone: Always Active
/execute as @p at @s as @e[family=mob,r=20] at @s run summon armor_stand ~~10~
➡️ This means Command Block B will only run and summon an armor stand above a mob when Command Block A successfully deletes an experience bottle.

Command Block C

Block Type:Chain / Redstone: Always Active
/effect @e[type=armor_stand] invisibility 1 1 true
➡️ This causes heart particles to appear from the arrow.

Command Block D

Block Type:Chain / Redstone: Always Active
/execute as @e[tag=target] at @s run particle minecraft:heart_particle ~~2~
➡️ This makes the armor stands invisible.

Command Block E

Block Type:Chain / Redstone: Always Active
/execute as @e[type=armor_stand] at @s run particle minecraft:mobflame_single ~~~
➡️ This makes a flame-like particle appear at the invisible armor stand’s location.
