Remove the next backdrop option from the Switch Backdrop to block


There's an option for the switch backdrop to block, and it just switches to the next backdrop.

What my point is is that this option should be removed from the dropdown menu. This option basically copies off of the next backdrop block we already have. Below is a video demonstrating how both blocks would always do the same thing when the option is set to next backdrop


I'm not sure if this was an accidental addition, but I'm not sure about how it would be used in general. Was a specific backdrop and random or previous backdrops not enough?

I actually prefer using the switch backdrop to block as it allows more versatility when editing code later, maybe instead remove the next backdrop block? However, I believe that is there to give mew scratchers an obvious option…

Yeah, I'd have to agree on this matter. Getting rid of the next backdrop option would be less confusing. then again, if there is a glitch and you couldn't get the next backdrop block, that'd help allow the project to continue being made.

Honestly, I'm already thinking put the previous and random backdrop options as separate blocks, and then remove those from the dropdown, since we still have the next backdrop block. And not to brag for the block, but it kinda was in Scratch before the next backdrop dropdown option

The new blocks would be as below.
previous backdrop::looks
random backdrop::looks

or
[ next v] backdrop

Now that I see it, merging it into one is also a good idea.
