Pen should be vector, or something less pixelated.

Sometimes I want the pixellated version for Pen

And add block:

get color from x:() y:()  :: pen

You can make your own topic if you want that block. Your block idea has nothing to do with the suggestion.

Support. TurboWarp has this feature, but without it, the pen isn't a pen.

This would be useful when trying to create higher quality games in pen. Support.

If it was like this, support. Sometimes I want the pixellated version for Pen

I don’t think this is necessary, and even if this block is added it shouldn’t say “vector” and rather “high quality”.

It’s not necessary because with a higher quality pen you would me able to make smaller pen sizes, meaning you could recreate pixels quite easily. Wouldn’t this just make things harder for people who want pixel pen? Well, so far in my time on Scratch, I have never seen a project that takes advantage of low quality pen.

I defenitly support this, text engines would be very useful if this was added.

Support, most of the time bitmap pen is annoying.

Is there any technical reason behind why it is pixelated currently?

Probably faster.
Also, with some experimentation, it appears drawing lines on a canvas with Javascript is pretty grainy in of itself (I think canvas rendering is like that). idk how turbowarp bypasses that

Probably by just resizing the pen canvas to the size of the player.

Support! It's super annoying when the pen is all pixelated!

bump, and I support this too. There is a game I am making that I want to have high quality, but the vector sprites always end up as a bitmap when stamped. Really annoying, would like this to maybe be changed somehow.

Pen canvas resolution is 480x360 fixed. It mostly wouldn't be much more lag
https://turbowarp.org/ has an option for higher Scratch pen resolution (High Quality Pen)
