No, Scratch is about sharing. If you don't want anyone to be able to remix your project don't share it.

If someone copies it exacly you can report them. But even changing the colour of a backdrop is enough to count as a remix.

If someone copies and doesn't identify it as a remix you can report it. I had someone copy one of my projects once - all sprites, variables and scripts were the same which was so unlikely - and i reported it. I think they were forced to give me credit even though they still claimed they hadn't copied.

But that's what we agree to when we accept the Terms & Conditions of using Scratch.

If someone remixes your project and doesn't change anything, the project page will still show a link to the original project above the instructions/notes & credits. If someone copies your project some other way without remixing it, you should report it to the Scratch Team.

have a wonderful amazing awesome cool and great day

Scratch is about sharing so if it's an exact copy, you can report it. If it's changed, you can't. BUT people can save projects to their computer, then load it back and the remix credits won't appear so that's a whole other issue.

the robotkid828 suddenly appears!

random programmer/game developer here, probably wont be on scratch much other than the forums.

You can't, but you migth complicate the thing a bit

An example:

You try to figure out why you can't
A tip, inspect the whole programming XD

Anything that blocks remixing is banned.

As other people said, there's no way to prevent remixes, but what is the reason you want your project to not be remixed? There might be a workaround for your purpose.
