on my end:

the current stage of development is teaking tye colors.css file to find out what variable does what

Due to me being very lazy, all blocks will be implemented as an extension called “Additions”.

MagicCrayon9342

SUCCESS!!
extension

added

RocketBlocks needs an icon and a logo that fits it's style. Unfortunately, I simply am not very artistic. So if you want to make a logo and submit it, feel free!

My latest commits to RocketBlocks have now been built and deployed, the only change from this commit is that you can now import custom extensions via a URL. I ‘borrowed’ some code from E羊icques to snag this extension. You go to extensions and the second extension will be ‘Choose an extension’ you click that paste the URL (theres tons of extensions) and it'll be imported and ready to use.

update: you can also load extensions with the ?extension url parameter and u can add more than one extension via the URL as well just like TW

new stuff!

note: all new/custom features of RocketBlocks must be enabled by enabling the Additions extension

A new ‘isRocket’ boolean block that lets a Scratch program determine if its being ran in RocketBlocks or not. The typical use will be in an if statement.

how it works:

the read-only boolean value of this block is set to ‘true’ so in if statements it will output ‘true’ this is because if a mod doesn't have this block the if statement wont run at all.

Here's a preview of the logo I made:

There are variations for light and dark theme. You may need to credit Font Awesome somewhere on the page because I used their rocket icon.
If you like it, I'll just send the logo in a Scratch project. You can right-click the costume and click Export to download it.

RocketBlocks now uses it's own cloud variable server!

On any standard Scratch mod, there is typically a logo in the menu bar. But in ShredMod, TurboWarp, and RocketBlocks it isn't present. How do I add it back?

In src/components/menu-bar/menu-bar.jsx, you will find the following code:

{this.props.onClickLogo ? (
    <div className={classNames(styles.menuBarItem)}>
        <img
            alt="Scratch"
            className={classNames(styles.scratchLogo, {
                [styles.clickable]: typeof this.props.onClickLogo !== 'undefined'
            })}
            draggable={false}
            src={this.props.logo}
            onClick={this.props.onClickLogo}
        />
    </div>
) : null}

Remove the onClickLogo condition:

<div className={classNames(styles.menuBarItem)}>
    <img
        alt="Scratch"
        className={classNames(styles.scratchLogo, {
            [styles.clickable]: typeof this.props.onClickLogo !== 'undefined'
        })}
        draggable={false}
        src={this.props.logo}
        onClick={this.props.onClickLogo}
    />
</div>

You can then replace src/components/menu-bar/scratch-logo.svg with your mod's logo.

You seriously had to host on .jdev.eu.org and not on github pages?

He's using a different domain name with CNAME but it's still being hosted on GitHub Pages.

But yeah I don't understand why he'd use .jdev.eu.org as the domain.

I could register a new eu.org domain but rocket blocks isn't a project that's going to be used so there's zero point.
