How to Set Up the Command Blocks

Command entered in the Command Block:

Command Block A1

Block Type: Repeat / Redstone: Needs Redstone
/execute as @e[type=arrow] at @s run tag@e[family=mob,r=3,c=1] add target

➡️ This makes the armor stands completely invisible for 10 seconds.

Command Block A2

Block Type:Chain / Conditional / Redstone: Always Active
/kill @e[type=arrow]
➡️ This ensures that Command Block A2 only runs and deletes the arrow when Command Block A1 successfully tags a mob with “target.”

Command Block B

Block Type: Repeat / Redstone: Needs Redstone
/execute as @e[type=arrow] at @s run particle minecraft:heart_particle ~~~
➡️ This causes heart particles to appear from the arrow.

Command Block C1

Block Type: Repeat / Redstone: Needs Redstone
/execute as @e[tag=target] at @s run particle minecraft:heart_particle ~~2~
➡️ This makes heart particles appear over the head of the mob that was hit by the arrow and received the “target” tag.

Command Block C2

Block Type:Chain / Redstone: Always Active
/execute as @e[tag=target] at @s run tp ^^^0.2 facing @p
➡️ This makes the mob that was hit by the arrow and received the “target” tag start moving toward the player.
