List of Features Most Likely Coming in Scratch 3.0

Features Planned for Scratch 3
Blocks, extensions, and more


I’ve seen a few users suggesting features or blocks for Scratch 3.0 that are probably already going to be added. Hopefully this list can help prevent this.

I hate how Internet Explorer will not be supported.
I thought Scratch was for everyone, but it turns out its not for internet explorer users.

It’s pretty outdated, and it’s easy to just use another browser

You should probably not use lightblue as your heading color, becuase it is very hard to read! Maybe bold would work better?

go to [front v] ::looks

go [forward v] () layers ::looks // this and the previous give better control to what layer the sprite is on
May want to note that these have both “front” and “back” as options.

Another new feature is being able to use the erasor in vector mode. There's also better control over making curves in vector mode.

There's a few other blocks you've missed:
(costume [name v]::looks)
delete all of [list v]::list // was just added, but might change in the future
when video motion > (10)::extension hat
The pen transparency blocks are in a dropdown:
change pen [transparency v] by (10)::extension

set pen [transparency v] to (50)::extension

No, I'm not sure why people keep saying there's a pause button in Scratch 3.0.

This is a handy thing! However, I never count a feature as a sure-thing until I see it on the final release. Features are still in flux. So it might be good to add some qualifier words here and there: “probably”, “expected to”, etc.

I think we should wait until they add it to the preview.
