The purpose of this suggestion is to make code cleaner, not to make anything easier.

Support, putting many if-else blocks could be chunky and I don't know where is where anymore.

Support. Maybe we could customize how many else if's would be in the block?

support, i hate nesting if else blocks
maybe add an option to set how much else ifs or if then else if then else?
if <> then {

} else if <> then {

} else {

} :: control

Support.

if <> then {

} else {

} ▼ :: control

My idea would be to give the ‘if <> then, else’ block input arrows (but vertical). Clicking the down arrow would make these:`

if <> then {

} else, if <> then  {

} else {

} ▼▲ :: control

if <> then {

} else, if <> then {

} else, if <> then {

} else {

} ▼▲ :: control
and so on.

Clicking the up arrow would reverse this.

Please bump this as it seems like a good idea.

Support. This would make code a lot shorter. However, “elif” should be renamed to “else if”, because “elif” might confuse New Scratchers.

This feature exists in JavaScript, Python and a lot of other programming languages..

if <> then {

} else if <> {

} else if <> {

} else {

} ▼▲ :: control

Elif (else-if) block

I have long abandoned this suggestion since I left Scratch.

I'm back now, and I'm proud to say that we definitely need this. If you put too many if-else blocks inside of each other, it's hard to find out where is where.

Also, yes, we should rename it to else if because this is hard to understand for some and also because elif is said to be an Arabic word or something…

Thank you for supporting when I wasn't there.

First of all, nobody calls it Elif. It's “elseif” or “else if”.
Python users do, as that's the name of the Python keyword.

What's wrong with simply stacking if/elses?

Elif (else-if) block

elif improves code efficiency, highly useful and cuts down on the insane amount of code. imo, it should work like this
if <condition :: sensing> then {
action :: custom
} {
else if <condition :: sensing> {
action :: custom
} :: control
else if <condition :: sensing> {
and repeat etc for however many conditions :: custom
} :: control
} else {
action :: custom
}   :: control
Maybe UX could design something that would signify that the second C is for elif statements only? This is all hypothetical and it's not nearly perfect but it decently portrays the idea.
