scratch 4.0 isn't coming out

4.0 is not coming out anytime soon and 3D is rejected.
The Official List of Rejected Suggestions wrote:

1.7 3D Scratch
A 3D Scratch interface, involving a z-axis in the project stage, could make it easier to create 3D projects. However, Scratch is a language that is designed to be as easy as possible for beginners to learn. The purpose of Scratch is to teach beginners basic programming concepts, which is best accomplished with a 2D interface. Adding a 3D interface could make Scratch more difficult to learn and teach. This includes having a separate website for 3D Scratch. This suggestion also includes the possibility for virtual-reality “Scratch VR” features, where a lot of the same difficulties come up; for more information, see this post.


For those who are interested, it may be worth checking out Beetle Blocks or CreatiCode. They are block-based programming languages similar to the Scratch editor, but with 3D features. There is another similar program to Scratch that contains block programming with 3D features, called Starlogo TNG.

Buddy, the Scratch Team just quietly announced 4.0 is coming in 2025 with AI features and a “reimagined community”.

Scratch 4.0 doesn't have to be 3D.
