For new scratchers, there can be a “jump block”
Basically you can control the speed, how high and more
Here is the block:

jump speed: (0) y: (0)

This would be quite useful.
Example:

when [ space] key pressed
jump speed: (0) y: (0)

If there is a ceiling, then you can easily use this

when [ space] key pressed
jump speed: (5) y: (5)

when green flag clicked
forever
if <touching [ ceiling] ?> then
jump speed: (-5) y: (-5)

That script would make the player fall to the ground.
You can use this script to make a sprite fall off a block.

jump speed: (-5) y: (-5)

It will stop once you have fell to the ground unless there is a

forever

around it. There can be a repeat too.
You cannot wall jump, you can only jump with the block (or fly if you put repeat or forever)
The block can be located in “Motion”
You also won't be able to jump in the air with this block (flying)

Too many variables involved:
Speed and height you have.
Can the player wall jump?
What about if the player jumps right under a block?
What if the player jumps off of a block.
When does it stop?

Please clarify more.

Well, a negative speed would be going backwards in time. Wouldn't a negative y value just make it jump as if gravity were inverted?
Also, the only time it will jump is when it is touching the ceiling, never another time, unless you have another script.

How is this true?

Negative Y will bring the sprite down, like a Fall block.

Actually, no it won't.
If you think about it, a positive value will make it go up, and then down.
Logically, a negative value will do the opposite. It brings it down and then up.

Learning to make a basic platforming engine isn't hard, and if you don't want to there are plenty of people who have made ones available for use.

Using this “jump” block would end up confusing people, because they aren't able to see and understand how it works and what is happening. There are plenty of examples and tutorials teaching you how to make platforming engines available, and it would be much more educational and worth your while to use those

what am I supposed to do then
:(
igorbog12 has failed to make a custom block. Detecting problem…
Error 0x000f1

How would it be confusing if you just choose the speed and height?
It would be easier because sometimes people can fly (jump in the air all the time)

Because it doesn't show you how it works. You don't understand what makes it jump.

The one you put the block in.

But it doesn't show you the true code behind it. Doing it yourself means you fully understand how and why it works. You don't get these things when you have a block to do it for you.

Scratch is about learning basic code. You can learn through experimenting. If scratch has blocks like these, then starting people who do scratch won't be able to improve much because they aren't experimenting themselves.

https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/projects/153477455/ super simple version. Thank me later.

I like the block, but think it should be a blue, motion block. Not a red list block

jump speed: (0) y:(0)::motion

List blocks are more of a orange-brown than a red. Red's for undefined blocks (ones that don't exist in Scratch).

No support, I feel like this is just a custom block.

Ok

No support.
Learning a platforming engine isn't that hard, and this block doesn't do anything that is easily workaroundable.

i can't make it move
