There is a Scratch blocks library (not actual Scratch) that was made by the Scratch foundation on GitHub. I looked at the wiki, but it didn’t help. Can someone explain this to me?

it's basically the programming interface for Scratch. scratch 3 is broken up into scratch-vm (the thing that runs the actual code), scratch-blocks (the blocks themselves, which can run on its own but is pretty useless without vm/an alternative) scratch-gui (the thing that puts everything together) and a bunch of other parts that don't matter to this discussion.

I know what it is, I just don't know how to use it.

How do you want to use it?

I want to use it to create blocks, that look like scratch blocks.

Oh, it's on the forums. Just do this in a forum post:
Example:
This BBCode snippet:
produces:

when green flag clicked // hello world
move (10) steps :: looks
cursed block <touching [mouse pointer v]?> [text] (123) [dropdown v] :: #00ff00 cap

Hope this helps!

Thanks, but that's just on the forums. I meant that I wanted to use it outside of the scratch website.

1. That's an entirely different library (the one for creating images of blocks is this)
2. The website for the aforementioned library is here.

I am talking about this library (which was created by the scratch foundation):
https://github.com/scratchfoundation/scratch-blocks
However, you're talking about a library that isn't associated with scratch (which I totally understand how to use).

That's not what that library does. It's basically just the block editor, not a tool for creating images of blocks, nor does it provide one.
The forums, as well as the wiki, use the other library I linked to render their block images.

Since scratch-blocks is based on Google's Blockly library, the Blockly documentation is useful for understanding how to use scratch-blocks. You can find the Blockly documentation at https://developers.google.com/blockly/guides/get-started/web.

If that doesn't help you or you want more help, please explain exactly what you are trying to do with scratch-blocks so we can actually help you.

This doesn't help us know what you want to do with scratch-blocks. Do you want to create blocks that are just displayed on a web page (although, for that you don't want to use scratch-blocks)? Do you want to create blocks that you can drag around and connect (like you can in the Scratch editor)? Do you want to make a mod of Scratch with additional blocks?

I want to create blocks that can be dragged and connected.
