Target Blocks should be Block Entities

I am attempting to create a command block driven mini game of archery, but I am not able to read the current power value of a target block because it is not a block entity.  If it stored it's power similar to Comparators, it would be more versatile for command usage.

 

/execute store result score #ArcheryTarget01 Archery run data get block -62 68 -125 OutputSignal

The target block is not a block entity

 

For now I will have to chain a comparator in, but this would have much cleaner execution if I could get the power level directly from /data get block on the target block

  You can test for the block state instead:

  execute if block 12 23 34 minecraft:target[power=1] run ...
  execute if block 12 23 34 minecraft:target[power=2] run ...
  execute if block 12 23 34 minecraft:target[power=3] run ...
  ...

  "You can test for the block state instead"

  ...That's exactly what OP meant to eliminate, don't you see?

  Although this is very old suggestion, I endorse it. That or to make an easier way to get these non-entity block data, it just doesn't make sense to not be able to do so.

  just use

  execute positioned x y z if entity @e[type=arrow,distance=..1.5] run ...

  on bedrock, use

  just use

  execute positioned x y z if entity @e[type=arrow,r=1.5] run ...

  also, this would cause lag to anyone who has a lot of target blocks in their world
