“Use the /tp Command’s “facing” Option to Move in a Specific Direction! ”

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 unless blocks ~1~1~1 ~-1~-1~-1 ~~~ masked run tag @s add landing

➡️ This causes the “landing” tag to be applied to an arrow when it gets close to a wall or the ground.

Command Block A2

Block Type:Chain / Conditional / Redstone: Always Active
/tag @p add move
➡️ This means the player will get the “move” tag only when the arrow hits.

Command Block B

Block Type: Repeat / Redstone: Needs Redstone
/execute as @p[tag=move] at @s run tp @s ^^0.1^1 facing @e[type=arrow,tag=landing]
➡️ This makes the player automatically move toward the arrow once it has landed.

Command Block C1

Block Type: Repeat / Redstone: Needs Redstone
/execute as @p at @s unless entity @e[type=arrow] run tag @p remove move

➡️ This automatically removes the “move” tag from the player if the arrow is picked up or disappears.

Command Block C2

Block Type:Chain / Conditional / Redstone: Always Active
/kill @e[type=arrow,tag=landing]
➡️ This means the arrow with the “landing” tag will be deleted when the player’s “move” tag is removed.

Command Block B
