which block is used the least (excluding extension blocks and hacked blocks)

cs2861142

These are a few of my guesses for the least-used scratch blocks across the board. Of course, as an experienced scratcher, I know that more advanced scratchers probably won't use blocks like the glide or say blocks, but new scratchers will (so it stays off the list).

switch backdrop to [ v] and wait

broadcast [ v] and wait

when [ v] > (10)

<color [#620be8] is touching [#3cc19a] ?>

set pen shade to ()

That's my guess.

Well, they removed it so it’s probably used less now. Also, that’s now an extension.
Would this include removed blocks if they’re still technically in Scratch?

Maybe this?

([Abs v] of (9))

That block is actually used pretty often. Many projects, such as 3D engines, are filled with them.

Can't argue this one.
Animations?

This one probably:
(tempo)
And this one too:
when backdrop switches to [ v]
I've used the backdrop one. It's actually useful
You could just put the code with when you switch the backdrop or if there's a button, you can put it in the code for the button.

(I think it's this:
(() ^ (0) :: operators)
)

I don't get it. Or use broadcasts.

I'm just gonna put this one out there:

think [Some people use the "think _ secs" block, but the plain think block by itself is pretty darn rare!]

Or else I'm going to have to agree it's backdrop & wait.

Fun fact, this actually reminds me of a project I made about unused blocks back before I knew what modulus was (lol).

Using that specific option

No

Lionwarriorspets

maybe this

(costume #)

or this

insert [] at (1 v) of [list v]

Both of those are very commonly used.

([ln v] of (0))
I've never seen it used before though.

([ln v] of ([e ^ v] of (9))) // = 9

i think i've seen it used in some hashing algorithm once, so it does have some use

i'm surprised nobody has mentioned this block

for each [i v] in (10) {} :: control

it exists in scratch's code, but it's not available in the editor
it's very useful though, and i've used it quite a lot
never seen a project containing it though

Isn't that a TurboWarp block? I've used it quite a bit

Its in the editor, just hidden from the pallete

idk if we should count the experimental blocks like the while <> block, maybe we should?
edit: oh the title was changed to say no unused blocks

Yea…

if on edge, bounce

switch backdrop to [ v] and wait

set drag mode [draggable v]::sensing

() mod ()
but I want to know the truth

as the title said, this question does not include extension blocks or hacked blocks (blocks hidden from the palette)

I would say

when [loudness v] > () ::control hat

But you can use it to make custom when conditions
So I’ll say it’s actually

(loudness)

Because I’ve never seen this used in a project once, I’ve seen every block but this one be used

set rotation style [ v]

Could also be it

I barely see peeps use this.

“Complex?”
How is rounding a decimal complex?
It’s not that at all def

Did they make that an actual block now LOL
