# Targeting \ud83c\udfaf<\/p>\n
## Execute commands on the actual player who triggered them.<\/p>\n
## Overview<\/p>\n
Targeting introduces a new selector, @t, designed to solve one of Minecraft\u2019s long-standing limitations: reliably identifying the player who activated a redstone-triggered command.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
## Key Feature:
\n@t Selector
\nTargets the player responsible for triggering the command block, whether via:
\nButton press
\nLever toggle
\nPressure plate
\nAny redstone interaction linked to a command block<\/p>\n
## Why This Matters?<\/p>\n
Without Targeting, mapmakers and server developers often rely on:<\/p>\n
– Proximity-based selectors (@p)
\n– Complex scoreboards
\n– Detection loops<\/p>\n
These approaches are unreliable, inefficient, or unnecessarily complex.<\/p>\n
@t provides precision, simplicity, and performance in a single selector.<\/p>\n
Example Usage
\nScenario: Teleport the player who pressed a button<\/p>\n
Command Block Command:<\/p>\n
\/tp @t 100 100 100<\/p>\n
What Happens:<\/p>\n
Player presses a button connected to the command block
\nThe command executes
\nOnly that specific player is teleported to (100, 100, 100)
