Scratch, in VR
#Creator's Note(before any edits): this suggestion isn't to make Scratch 3D, Scratch would still be 2D, just it would have VR support #EXTRA note from creator(edit 1 -Thursday November 26 01:04:29-): why is no one posting?
VR editor
credit on r/Scratch, and more specifically u/Ezlambry, here
*moderator who is goes to this topic, feel free to remove the link if you feel it shouldn't be there, I'm just giving credit, following the CGs here*
VR would probably be treated like mobile. A pointer would point to where you're pointing with the controller, and you could press the trigger to “click”.
no concept
no concept
When you need a keyboard, a popup would appear in order to let you type. #Creator's note (for a person to make a concept): the keyboard can look however you want, just make it use orange or blue somewhere in it.

TL;DR: Scratch VR is the a Mobile Scratch Editor.

Scratch, in VR
Scratch on VR has been officially rejected (read the part I put in bold)
1.8 3D Scratch
This block, and others, could be used with a z-axis in the project stage to make it easier to create 3D projects. But, Scratch is a language that is designed to be as easy as possible for beginners to learn. Adding 3D features would make the language more difficult for beginners to understand, and a 3D engine is not exactly the purpose of Scratch. This suggestion also includes the possibility for a virtual-reality features in Scratch, or “Scratch VR.” A lot of the same difficulties come up.
There is a similar program to Scratch that contains block programming with 3D features, called Starlogo TNG. You can also try Alice; it is not exactly like Scratch, but has some similar features.

also, I'm just talking about a VR browser support, because that's pretty fair

Doesn't really make a difference to be honest. “Extensions” are for things that would benefit Scratch but not every project will use. VR doesn't benefit Scratch because almost nobody has a VR headset.

This has been rejected. I suggest you read the list of suggestions and read it carefully.
Like seriously does anyone ever read the list of suggestions before making a suggestion?

I don't think VR would be very easy-to-use in the Scratch editor, and, according to this, only 171 Million out of 7.6 Billion people have a VR Headset, which translates to 0.225%. If you want to question the equation I used to find that, I used the good ol' (change/original), so, in this case, that would be (7,600,000,000 / 171,000,000). If only 2% of the population had a VR headset, and hardly any of those 2% use Scratch, then this seems like a lot of work for something that would only work for a few users. Sorry :/

Sorry :/yes… indead, but more than 90% of 13-16 year olds own a phone, over 50% of the 90% owns an android phone, and over 45% of those people own google cardboard or something similar. A lot of 13-16 year olds use Scratch.

This has been rejected. I suggest you read the list of suggestions and read it carefully.okay, normally I do read the TOLORS, but for some reason 3D !

doesn't mean) 2D.So does anyone really read those recjected topics? I feel lik just every post nowadays is just already recjected like 9 years ago.Wait, are you saying that I need to go through TOLORS, click every link, and read every post?
are you sure about that.not really that similar, this doesn't talk about a extension…
