Scratch achievements8.7
Some form of digital currency which allows you to “buy” Scratch features (with real or fake money) would not really benefit the educational value of Scratch; after all, there is not really anything that you can buy. While there could be features that are only unlockable via digital currency, this does not really contribute to Scratch's purpose of being a programming language available for everyone. However, you can make digital currency in your own projects, if you like. A very good detailed analysis for why digital currency should not be on Scratch can be found on this post.

By my interpretation, that part is talking about achievements for Scratch, not for projects, and I don't think the arguments against adding achievements to Scratch as a whole apply to adding an achievement system to projects.There was something from that saying that achievements are rejected.8.7 is rejecting any form of digital currency, not achievements themselves. This suggestion doesn't contain any mention of currency.project-specific achievement, and it won’t show for anyone else. You can add project-specific achievements in the editor.Ok, but does it save to your profile like roblox? While it is project-specific, you are asking scratch to implant this feature, which has been rejected already. You must code your own project achievements. I used Roblox as a reference. The achievement would pop up below the project when one gets the

Wrong. If this post were to be about adding achievements to your project by coding them yourself, that is allowed but asking scratch to implant it is rejected.
Digital currency or Scratch achievementsThat's about achievements for Scratch itself, this is about adding a system so you can make achievements for your project without needing to program them. There's a difference. 8.7

Some other users have suggested Scratch achievements such as “Created 50 projects” with the idea that this would give users motivation to keep using Scratch. However, this sort of idea does not really fit in with the purpose of Scratch. Some users may use their achievements to determine that they are “better” than other users. However, you are allowed to make achievements in your own games, if you like.

Why not just make these yourself with a cloud variable? Not to mention this is way too niche, no support.

The cloud variable length is 256, so the usernames will likely disappear from the variable after a while. Why not just make these yourself with a cloud variable? Not to mention this is way too niche, no support.

Right I forgot about that. Still I don't see a good enough reason for this to be implemented.The cloud variable length is 256, so the usernames will likely disappear from the variable after a while.

If Scratch adds premade things for everything it'll lose its charm. Scratch is meant to be a coding website where you code everything yourself.
