List of BlockID

Happy New Year!

I recently discovered the ability to have a project with limited toolbox by modifying the pxt.json file. This would be extremely helpful for educators that want to scaffold instruction as well as assistive tech users who will not need to navigate through extra blocks and menus with their devices. I put together a blog post explaining a bit more about it.

I am working on putting together a spreadsheet with all the namespaces and BlockIDs for various Makecode editors to make this process easier for educators. Instead of reinventing the wheel, I’m wondering if such a list exists already somewhere? I tried searching through the GitHub repo but didn’t find any clear documentation and mostly guessing at what they might be.

Any help would be most appreciated!

All the best.

Update: I asked Claude for some help with this and they obliged creating a searchable webpage listing the block names and categories. If anyone uses it and runs into missing blocks or errors please let me know and I will update. TY!
