I think this would make it very hard to make projects with subtitles. Also, Scratch revolves around seconds like:

wait () secs
say [] for (2) secs
glide () secs to x: (0) y: (0)
timer //in seconds

…

For those who think it would be harder to do something like

start sound [sound v] :: sound
wait (326.47) seconds :: control

remember you can just multiply the minutes by 60 and add it to the seconds.

It isn't needed, but it's useful.

I do know but this feature has existed in Scratch 2.0 but was not added in Scratch 3.0. Any ideas?

No support. The whole Scratch editor doesn't measure time by minutes. Such as

wait () secs

You cannot find a “wait () mins” block in the current editor, so you will have to multiply the minutes by 60 plus the seconds if this gets implemented. It's worse than just taking a look at the number of seconds.

For you who say something like “it would make it harder to make projects using subtitles in them,” you can make a custom block for example, like the wait block using minutes:

define wait (minutes) mins (seconds) secs
wait (((minutes) * (60)) + (seconds)) secs :: control

when green flag clicked
play sound [Monkeys Spinning Monkeys v]
wait (2) mins (5.06) secs :: custom
say [Done!]

Here are the blocks I just also wanted them to be added:

wait (5) mins (26) secs :: control

say (join [now playing - ] (music)) for (5) mins (26) secs :: looks

think (join [now playing - ] (music)) for (5) mins (26) secs :: looks

when [timer v] > (5) mins (26) secs :: events hat
say [music finish]

Why though, the seconds are more accurate and like said above many times, everything revolves around seconds

Yes, I knew that Scratch revolves around seconds, but please look at Scratch 2 Offline Editor, you can see the amount of minutes in sound lengths in the sound tab, but Scratch 3.0 has prevented it. See the Scratch 2.0 Offline Editor with the Sound Tab. You can see the amount of minutes in sound lengths. Below the Scratch 3.0 editor you will no longer be able to show the amount of minutes but in seconds, and I'm dissatisfied with that. Scratch 3.0 then ignores the minutes for sounds longer than a minute. The old format is satisfying, but my suggestion is to show the sound length in minutes and seconds by hovering the sound length in seconds. See:

Fun fact: You can show the number of minutes in sound lengths on Snap! and Scratch 1.4 (it allows hours).

Is this my 70th post?

Scratch, please bring it back, I love the minutes for the length of sounds in sounds tab. Why do Scratch 3.0 prevented us to show the number of minutes in sound lengths? I really wanted this. Please look at those screenshots below for Scratch 2.0 and 3.0. Look, we want to have the same format in Scratch 3.0.

Not every one can multiply so your no support is invalid.

How is “It worse than just taking a look at the number of seconds”?

Your statement is invalid. On average, you learn multiplication at age 7-8, and scratch's target audience is 8-16. Also, there is a multiplying block:

((...) * (...))

If someone doesn't know multiplication, they should probably be using ScratchJr.
