So I was wanting to try to make an archery competition that programmatically tracks scores and winners with moving target (using a mechanical piston), but I realized when a target block is part of a contraption it no longer works as a target. So that is something that would be nice to have if possible.

Also, since you probably might not want to include that or it is a low priority, how would you recommend I attempt to make that change for my own server? I am new to Minecraft modding (though experienced in Java) and excessively tired, so my brain is having issues figuring out what exactly in the code is disabling the blocks normal features so I can essentially stop it from overwriting or rewrite those features myself. My assumption is it has something to do with collision detection/handling

Going to close this cause I realized there was a Discord group I could post this in that is better suited than issues in GitHub.
