This is not a physics block. It goes to a specific part of the code, not actually jumping.

I was playing a game called Human Resource Machine (it's about coding) and it had something Scratch could have!
It's called “jump”.
When you put it into the code, you select a part of the code that it would go to. When the block is activated, it goes to that selected part of the code.

For example:

when green flag clicked
jump :: motion
if <[pigs fly] = [true]> then
stop [all v]
end
‎‎‎‎                           :: motion // this is where the jump goes to

As far as I know, this is not workaroundable (except for broadcasts but those are a pain to use if your dealing with clones), and it could be used to break out of forever loops and such. There would be an arrow going from the jump block to where it is jumping, to show where it will go.

How about

jump to end{

} :: motion

but flipped? (meaning that the closed end would be on the right side of the script and the open end on the left side)
don't ask me how dragging blocks into it would work

bump

Support! The physics behind the workaround are hard (especially for a beginner).

Support!
I don't use the operators, i use the Repeat () block and it isn't that smooth!

I think this probably belongs in Control rather than Motion…

i only made it a motion block because it was blue, just like the jump block in Human Resource Machine.

when you jump, you basically move, which is called “Motion”

it doesn't fit in the category of motion since it isn't actually moving the sprite

lol i was playing a trick on you XD

Also, no support.
This isn't a .bat file, it's a .sb3 file
No advanced stuff.

Haven't you heard of the batch programming language?
In case you're living under a rock, it's some advanced programming in Command Prompt™

Please tell me how that is relevant to anything.

“goto” is a feature that does the same thing as this so-called “Jump” block.

first of all
you say no support just because there is a similar feature in a completely different programming language??
also, going to a specific part of a script isn't advanced

Support!
Yep, without this block i'd have to spend lots of time figuring the workaround by the broadcast blocks.

NO SUPPORT.

Sorry for the big red text, but using jump/goto statements in any programming language is considered a bad practice. Instead you should use higher level control structures – in Scratch those are “repeat”, “repeat until”, custom blocks (with “stop this script” for exiting) and broadcasts. In my opinion Scratch should also add a “this loop” option to the stop block.

oh yeah finally someone suggested the annoying goto
I agree with Maximouse here, once I wanted GOTO in Python for my first code, a command line calculator, and I wanted it to be like this:

when green flag clicked
 ::motion
ask [Please choose an operation (1:Addition 2:Substraction 3:Multiplication 4:Division)] and wait
if <not <<(answer)>(0)> or <(answer)<(5)>>> then
say [Invalid operation] for (2) secs
jump::motion
end

But then I discovered it was easily workaroundable with this, and it also avoid spaghetti code:

when green flag clicked
repeat until <<(answer)>(0)> or <(answer)<(5)>>
ask [Please choose an operation (1:Addition 2:Substraction 3:Multiplication 4:Division)] and wait
if <not <<(answer)>(0)> or <(answer)<(5)>>> then
say [Invalid operation] for (2) secs
end
end

Another reason to not support is, where will each jump block jump to? How will you remember that? Like this:

jump::motion
if <(0)>(1)> then
say [What?]
::motion
end
::motion
repeat until <(variable)=(8)>
jump::motion
change [variable v] by (1)
end

Can you understand what the code does?
