Scratch 3D support

Is it possible to add a 3D extension? Basically adding blocks like…
X = ()
Y = ()
Z = ()

Change Xpos by ()
Change Ypos by ()
Change Zpos by ()

And then change the sprite editor in 3D mode so that the vector lets you move around different 3D shapes and then bitmap becomes a 3D voxel editor.Since it would still be running at 640x480 I wouldn't see much issues in performance and I think it would be awesome if Scratch Team added it!

No, it's rejected:

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 virtual-reality features in Scratch, or “Scratch VR.” A lot of the same difficulties come up.

For those who are interested, it may be worth checking out Beetle Blocks. It is a block-based programming language that serves as a 3D editor similar to Scratch projects. There is another 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.

Right you are — I'll close this as rejected.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I was a Scratch Team member from May 10th 2019 to October 29th 2021.
