Don't call it “elif”, just because it's used in Python doesn't mean the name won't be confusing.
The block (renamed) may just work but maybe it will be too cluttering with the “+”s? It's useful but will require reorganization…

bruh they can say elif chill

Sooo
Like python with elif's?
Well, I do like it but the workaround tho

if <> then 

  

else
if <> then

end
end

Though I'm not copying and pasting tons of if thens and I think this can be useful for better organizations.
So support for the reasons I stated above.

99 levels of nesting vs long block

I don't get why you would want an elif. Just do a if, else if.

so you don't have to have numerous else and if blocks.

Because you have to drag out thousands of if else if blocks or keep duplicating them instead of just clicking a button that adds it faster. Also a lot of programming languages have else if statements.

that's basically

run ({

when  :: control hat

run all at once when <button (@greenFlag ::#2aa1c9) hold for (3) seconds ::#2aa1c9> { 
drink monster energy drink ::#c99c2a
}

But you really shouldn't have “thousands of elif” statements. Sure, its laggy. But so is 1 block. I'm voting against this because you really don't need it.

if <> {


} elif <> {


} else ::control

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?
if <...> then
    ...
else
if <...> then
    ...
else
if <...> then
    ...
else
if <...> then
    ...
else
...

this is simpler and less ‘big’

if <> then {

} else if <> then @delInput{

} else @delInput{

}@addInput:: control

Thats a pain in the butt

what happens if you have 100 else if statements

And what if you have 100 nested ifs (like you have to do now)?

The workaround can be easily done in a seconds, it won't bother anyone if you stack 100 block up each others, that's literally what Scratch is. This couldn't really do anything rather than closing the door for the more worthy blocks to be added, and it literally have the same case as the rejected forever if block.

Replace the if else block with this one

Yes, except it would look like this:

if <> then {

} else if <> then {

} else if <> then {

} else if <> then {

} else @delInput @addInput {

}::control
