Please when is 4.0 coming i'm ecxited..

we do not know.

There is no official release date.

It's planned to be released in the second half of 2026.

We're not entirely sure. Maybe early 2026, maybe it's not even called Scratch 4.0 at all.

Scratch Wiki states:
The possibility of an update under the name “Scratch 4.0” was first mentioned in November 2024 with developing new features for the update being a priority in 2025, but this does not guarantee that it will be released in 2025. What features it may contain are still unknown, and it is possible that depending on the number of new features added, it may simply be an update to 3.0 instead of 4.0.

We've received tentative confirmation through combing job listings and stuff for what KangaCoder said. Also KangaCoder might have insider info from the mentor program.

also i started school 4 days ago

ok and? is that even related to 4.0?

kinda. the user started school 4 days ago and 4 is the main version number of scratch 4.0

(Im just saying though) i guess i still make good games in 3.0

new idea change speed and pitch

If there is going to be, scratch 4.0? My opinion on the new code will be…

when stop sign is clicked

move variable [ v]

move list [ v]

turn off video [ v]

COPILOT's ANSWER:
Dreaming up Scratch 4.0 code blocks
I love this question—because it’s really about what you’re itching to create next. Let’s imagine the blocks that would unlock the projects you’ve been picturing but couldn’t quite build yet.

Core new blocks by category
Motion and physics
Velocity: set x velocity to / set y velocity to

Forces: apply force at angle for secs

Friction/drag: set friction to / set air drag to

Collisions: when I collide with / bounce with restitution

Containment: keep inside with margin

Events and control
Parameterized broadcast: broadcast with data

Event handler with data: when I receive → set to (event data)

Await and async: await then / do in parallel

Timer hats: when timer hits secs / every secs do

Debounce/throttle: throttle to every secs

Data and structures
Local variables: make variable for this script only

Dictionaries: set dict key to / get dict key / for each key in

Lists of lists: get item of list as list / deep copy list

Cloud lists/events: add to cloud list / when cloud list changes

Serialization: set to JSON of / parse JSON into

Sensing and “smart” blocks
Angle to sprite: angle to

Line of sight: has line of sight to within

Pitch detection: current pitch (Hz) / note name / confidence

Pose sensing (extension): when pose / get landmark

Color region sensing: percent of color inside region

Graphics and sound
Shaders/filters: set filter to / animate filter over secs

Vector pen 2.0: pen width follows speed / draw arc radius angle

Audio envelopes: set ADSR / play note for with instrument

Layer tags: send to layer group

Clones and performance
Clone loops: for each clone of do (runs per-clone safely)

Clone count: number of clones of

Cull offscreen: auto-delete clones offscreen

Mini scripts showing how they’d feel
1) Simple physics platformer
Code
when green flag clicked
set y velocity to 0
forever
apply force (gravity) at angle (-90) for (0.02) secs
if <key pressed?> then apply force (walkSpeed) at angle (0) for (0.02) secs
if <key pressed?> then apply force (walkSpeed) at angle (180) for (0.02) secs
if <collides with ?> then
set y velocity to 0
if <key pressed?> then apply force (jumpPower) at angle (90) for (0.1) secs
end
end
2) Multiplayer-safe lobby using cloud events
Code
when green flag clicked
broadcast with data (username)
when I receive
add (event data) to cloud list
when cloud list changes
say (join (length of ))
3) Custom blocks with return values (scripting sugar)
Code
define isOnScreen? (x) (y) -> Boolean
if <(x) > (-240) and (x) < (240) and (y) > (-180) and (y) < (180)> then
return (true)
else
return (false)
end

forever
if <isOnScreen? (x position) (y position)> then
set ghost effect to (0)
else
set ghost effect to (50)
end
end
Extensions that would supercharge projects
Machine learning lite:

Train classifier: train model with label from samples

Predict: predict label using model → confidence

Great for gesture controls, custom NPC behaviors, mood-driven music.

Networking rooms (moderated):

Rooms: join room

Maybe! But there's also no indication of these being added.

Already exists as part of the

turn video [on v]

block's functionality- the dropdown includes an “off” option.

im going to make:

move diag (up v) (right v)

I need and I want this block in 4.0

<(create clone) = ()>
<(create clone) < ()>
<(create clone) > ()>

I need and I want this block in 4.0

<(create clone of [ v]) = ()>

I want this 3d block please

go to x: (0) y: (0) z:(0)

when @stopSign clicked :: hat :: events

3D X) Y) Z) :: pen

touching color ?

set stretch by (100)% :: looks

change stretch by (10) :: looks

while <> {
} :: control

set pen color to

for each in (10) {
}:: control

() ^ of () :: reporter :: operators

perivious costume :: looks
