-Variable and List folders

This is to more organize the Scratch variables and lists, especially helping with huge projects.

-Improved Backpack

If you have experience with the Scratch backpack, boy, it is glitchy. We could make it faster, better UI, and able to hold more of a variety of things.

-Custom CSS for profile pages

Easy customization for creativity on your own profile, making it look however you want.

-JS code in projects for advanced users

I am leaning more towards not having this, because it wouldn't even be scratch anymore lol, but yes, it is a consideration.

-Improved editor interface, specifically with less blinding colours

I usually create my projects at night, and I don't want to be blinded. Also, the Scratch editor interface can be a pain, and I kinda want to tweak it.

-Custom themes, including the high demanded Dark Mode

Hand and hand with last example, I am thinking obviously dark mode, but then some things like high contrast, low contrast, dark modern, light modern, blue, and also customary colours in the “advanced settings”

-(Maybe) A secondary editor for 3D projects, which uses a different engine and different blocks than 2D projects

I'm contemplating removing this, though we could create a different website for something like this.

-Support for importing and exporting .exe's

Importing and exporting these types of files could be a real game changer, but I am worried people would just import something they obviously didn't make. So maybe just exporting?

-Support for .sb2 file types and keeping support for .sb3

I'd hope to have this for the real website too, because sb2 and sb3 are practically the same thing, except a completely different block-base.

-Xbox and ps4+ps5 controller support

Being able to connect any controller to the project would be crazy. Imagine sharing your computer screen to your television and playing scratch projects you made on your playstation 5 controller.

-Optimization for larger-scale projects

Have you ever seen that one Windows 10 emulator? They literally ran out of storage for the Scratch project, so they had to stop. I'm pretty sure scratch allows 100MB of storage per project, but we could make this 500MB or something.

-Custom screen resolutions for projects

This exists in TurboWarp. It's not really an important thing, but it would be a nice addition.

-Support for more audio file types

Scratch only supports .MP3 and .WAV, and newer things like M4A or FLAC would be also a thing some might need.

-A way to control specific clones

I can't fathom how annoying it is that I can't control specific clones. We could assign a # to each clone and make a block that is a grouper thingy and says something about what the clone does if ?? happens.

Javascript Block: When used in a project, it will call for a custom JS script and run it in the project. When placing the block, it's structured a bit like {use script }
*Another variant is available that waits for the script to complete

-SuperFX Block: SuperFX was used on the SNES to render advanced effects on sprites. When placing the block, it's structured a bit like {use SuperFX
*The block will have different parameters depending on the effect.

-Smooth Glide Block: Just like the normal glide block, it uses a smoother transition effect. When placing the block, it's structured a bit like {smooth glide (…) seconds to (x) (y)}

-Clone Variables: Add and edit variables given to specific clones. When placing the block, it's structured a bit like: {set to }

-Record Block: Records audio given by the player. When placing the block, it's structured a bit like {record audio }
*There is another block that lets you use recorded audio. When placing the block, it's structured a bit like {play recorded sound }

-(Maybe) Link Block: Projects using this block would be sent to a moderator for approval before being shared. It would be used to open different websites in your browser. You can also decide if you want it to open in a new tab or window. When placing the block, it's structured a bit like {open link (input link) }

Github (editor code)
please note that practically nothing has been done to the github, so don't expect like anything.

I'd be willing to work on it. I know JavaScript, CSS, and HTML, and I'm learning TypeScript. I already know a little bit of Python, but I'd be willing to learn more for your project. I have made a TurboWarp mod before (TurboWarp is based off Scratch.)

Considering most of the users on Scratch are under 13, if you want young Scratchers to contribute, you'd have to host the code on a platform which doesn't require you to be over 13, like Codeberg.

Also, Scratch is migrating to a single repository, so you may want to mod that instead to future-proof your mod.

Finally, I have an idea. What if you added the ability to run your project on a web server and make it output a website, like in my mod? You don't have to provide a web hosting service, the users can just run it on their own servers.

Thank you for contributing! I think it would be way easier and such a time saver if we used the mono-repo, so I think we are going with that. With the users under 13, since we are adding many features, I think it should be for all ages. I mean, we are adding a javascript editor, and then we are still keeping the normal blocks.

So, since Scratch is mostly kids under 13, you probably want to host it on Codeberg or a different platform with no age requirement.

are you sure you want to open up 500mb-per-project to users? There's a reason the st doesn't do that, you might want to put restrictions on it

We could add more based on how big your project is, so that you don't run into any roadblocks while making a big project. But maybe not 500 MB to start with

1. Moving Animation Extension - Makes it easier to animate characters. You first point to where its movements were supposed to go, then you can move the dots you pointed into an animation. You can choose to either make it a stop-motion like animation, or you can make it a smoother one.
   

• Playable Downloads - Makes the files so that lets you play the file without needing to open up the scratch editor to load one.
  

• More Text-to-Speech Options - Brings more fun to the Text-to-Speech extension, like speed, pitch, effects, GoAnimate/Vyond (Lots of them), TikTok, and more of those Amazon Voices, and availability to download those Text-to-Speech text with the “Save Speech as Sound” block.
  

• We could also add much more extensions like Website Loader (Loads websites, obviously.), Music (Updated) (Adds more things to the Music extension.), Variable Customizer (PenguinMod Inspired) (Lets you customize variable headsets.), Detector (An AI that detects what is on screen.), Game Improvement (Makes games easier to complex.), and more…
