Hey, y’all! So basically I made this extension on my school account a while back, and I’ve used it on quite a few Arcade projects. And I decided I wanted you guys to have access to it! So I uploaded it to GitHub and stuff and BOOM. The ✨ M O D E S ✨ extension!!! ## Blocks & Definitions * * * Instead of using a plethora of variables and functions, this extension makes levels and stages easier than ever in blocks. - **Create mode** `$mode` - **Set mode to** `$mode` - **When the current mode is changed to** `$mode` - **Other Blocks** ## Example * * * \* ![Screen Shot 2023-04-29 at 6.28.39 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/5/500c2cb27dec7ffd2e44d396607462dc07ddd2af.png) Not much, I’ll admit. But, it was fun to make. And I think some of you guys will find it useful, just like I have. I’m working on a few other concepts for extensions at the moment, so any suggestions would _for sure_ be put into consideration. Alright, I gtg now, y’all have a great day! ## Link from GitHub * * * > **[GitHub - projectsbyunique/modes: Levels and modes, made a whole lot easier.](https://github.com/projectsbyunique/modes)** > > Levels and modes, made a whole lot easier. ---

Very cool! Might use this for one of my games. ---

# Update 2.0.0: Even easier! Now you can reference modes with enumerations! Instead of having to enter the string for each block, just open the dropdown and create/use any mode. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/4/d/4d7a5bbf0f57829408d1e225c41e9ba058f2a3e2.png) I also removed the `create $mode` block, further simplifying the extension! > **[GitHub - projectsbyunique/modes: Levels and modes, made a whole lot easier.](https://github.com/projectsbyunique/modes)** > > Levels and modes, made a whole lot easier. ---

**AWESOME!** I’ll use this in my game, with credit of course. But, I don’t know why GitHub even works; how do I download it? ---

Thank you for using my extension! To download the extension, press the plus button in your toolbar (it should say ‘Extensions.’) ![IMG_8022](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/9/a/9a71fe016a110b903c4abc30820bcd2b965f4dfb.jpeg) Then, just type the URL to the extension’s GitHub page as shown: ![IMG_8023](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/4/6/46c9fc4f0412e5bbe34aa03332ce0aeb5288399a.jpeg) ---

Never mind, I figured it out. ---

Wait… isn’t this just functions? ---

Yeah, but I don’t have to scroll through a giant list of function blocks to get the one I need. I can just drag and drop, then find the mode within that block. It works well for my workflow, that’s why I mentioned that modes were just for me at one point.
