@mpoelzl this actually isn’t possible to do from an extension. The pause until block is [special](https://forum.makecode.com/t/richards-arcade-tips-3-the-pause-until-block/28794) and can only be enabled by turning it on in the [pxtarget.json of pxt-microbit](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-microbit/blob/master/pxtarget.json). With that being said, I’m actually surprised that we didn’t already enable this in the micro:bit editor; I don’t think we ever discussed it on the team so this might have just been an oversight on our part…

You should open an issue for it here:

> **[GitHub - microsoft/pxt-microbit: A Blocks / JavaScript code editor for the...](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-microbit/)**
>
> A Blocks / JavaScript code editor for the micro:bit built on Microsoft MakeCode

I personally don’t see an issue with adding it to the default toolbox, but I’m sure there will be some discussion over what category to put it in.
