Why though?
You can just go to x: (random (-240)(240)) y: (random(-180)(180))
There is already a random position option in the go to block.
It could be like this:
set x to (random v)

set y to (random v)
A textbox wouldn't work well with a dropdown.
I am not sure if this is in 3.0, but 2.0 has this:
(item (random v) of [list v])
(item (last v) of [list v])
I know, but in order to access this you have to do:
(item (join [random] []) of [list v])
so it's more of a hidden easter egg than a feature.
But it is a feature, well at least it was in 2.0 LOL

Also, I remember this being implemented in the 3.0 beta, not sure if it's in final though.
Anyways, if that isn't the case, then this could be added:
set [x position v] to random ::motion
Or sth, I have no idea LOL, there could be a sprite x/sprite y thing or whatever like this:
set x to [random x v]

set x to [Sprite1 v]

That doesnt exist…
It used to exist.
It still does, but it's tricky to do. (you have to use the
(join [] [])
block, or you have to copy the word and paste it into the input. The join block is the only option that works on all devices running Scratch, since number inputs are not treated as text on mobile devices and Scratch displays a custom-made number pad on-screen rather than the user's on-screen keyboard)
The only issue with implementing a drop-down in a text or number input is that it's hard for people on mobile devices to click it (hence the larger blocks in 3.0, since they're easier to drag on a mobile device).
Other than that, it would be really useful, especially in projects who are trying to save as much of the project.json file as possible.

The original name of “loves” was “love-its”. Technically speaking, this hasn't changed.

I semi-support, the workaround is easy, but the block would be helpful.

Um…
What about this?

set x to (pick random (1) to (10))

set y to (pick random (1) to (10))
The original poster knows, and there is already a go to random position option.

medians: I knew it would happen. I was the one who started it last year.
Fun_Cupcake_i81: Well then if you didn't want it back maybe you need to time travel to last year and fix that

Oh wait if you could time travel I think we all know exactly when you would go-
user1: That picture is from 2.0. Now he’s at my house and is my pet.
user2: But this is medians we're talking about, so “from 2.0” can mean the same thing as “from five seconds ago”.

“no support ez workaround”- someone in a hurry

semi support. its useful because you dont have to input the values of the edges (this dont make sense)
but the workaround is more useful because you can input a range or maths

You can also do sth similar for random position, which exists. Also, blocks with simple workarounds still exist:
The thing is, those are already added and won't be removed any time soon. I'm saying that since there's such a simple workaround for a new block, there is no need to add it. Also chart in OP's siggy
That does not mean it cannot be added, otherwise certain blocks would not exist in the first place.
