The Y scroll block's appearance in Scratch 3.0.

The Y Scroll block was a Sensing block and a Reporter block in the alpha version of Scratch 2.0. The block reported how far up the stage was scrolled. If it had been scrolled down, a negative number was returned. It was removed late in the alpha.

When the block was originally introduced, it was a motion block. This lasted for two version before the block was changed to a Sensing block in v154. When obsolete blocks were added in 3.0 for compatibility as hidden blocks, the block was re-introduced as a motion block rather than a Sensing block.

Example Uses
