Settings update! Font settings for blocks
Hello!
I’ve added a settings button to the BlockLua toolbar:
If you click on it, the settings menu will show up:
You can toggle these two font options for your blocks. These options will automatically apply to every block, including the ones you have already placed.
Here’s how it looks:
Cartoon font OFF, Bigger font OFF
Cartoon font OFF, Bigger font ON
Cartoon font ON, Bigger font OFF
Cartoon font ON, Bigger font ON
I hope you like this update! Feel free to share your thoughts and ideas. Also if you encounter any bugs, please report it here!

I’ve made BlockLua’s engine highly optimized and easily scalable. Also, I have a lot of experience in plugin development. That’s all!

Optimization update and some small fixes
Yep, I’ve worked on optimizing BlockLua a bit more.
There is one major change. From now on, scripts won’t autosave after every drag. So you either have to deselect the script or press the save button.
To make this more user-friendly, I’ve changed the default save button to look like this:
But as soon as you make a change, it highlights it:
When the script gets saved, it reverts to the default look.
I fixed some tiny little bugs, they were mostly UI bugs. There should be less visual glitches.
Aaaaand… that’s all for this update!
Please report any bugs you encounter here, or if you have any ideas feel free to share in the form of a reply!
Have a great day!

If else, Quick add, Snapping glitch fixed
Let’s see the contents of this update!
If else
I’ve added two new blocks. “if (condition) then (with else)” and “else”
These blocks MUST be used together to work!
Example:
You can still use the simple “if” block of course.
Quick add
This is a useful little feature you might use to make coding faster.
Just double click on an empty space in the coding area and start typing the name of the block you want to add. If you found it, you can just grab it and drag it where you want.
Showcase:
Snapping glitch fixes
I just fixed some more visual glitches related to snapping blocks.
Thanks for reading! Please update the plugin and report any issues or tell your ideas!

Hello!
Currently I haven’t made any tutorials, but you can check out the Roblox group linked in the OP. You can find a simple uncopylocked game made with Block Lua there. Also join the Community Server and you can ask for help from the community!
Most of the blocks are self explanatory so you should be able to figure out how they work by yourself
I’m planning to make some YouTube tutorials for BlockLua

Seems pretty nice, the colors could use some work though. Reminds me of the visual scripting plugin in unity to a certain degree.
I can’t try it since I got no robux, and honestly, I’m not gonna use money to get virtual currency. But keep it up though! would love to see how it improves.

Logo redesign + price change
BlockLua got a new logo!
The plugin’s price has been changed to 150 robux.
I think the plugin’s feature set it coming together and it’s stable enough for this (still cheap) price tag!

Can’t wait to see more updates. 
Coming from a guy who finds Scratch’s blocks easier than Roblox Studio’s Luau, while at the same time finding Luau easier than most other programming languages, I think I just hit the Jackpot.
Your time (and soon, my Robux) spent on this project has not been wasted, my friend.

Thank you sooo much!
These days I’m quite busy with other things but when I’ll have free time I’ll definitely release more updates
Thanks for using my plugin ^^

I’m not using it yet, but a few trips to Pls Donate can change that.

I should probably do so eventually too since I only own EventBlocks.
Just out of interest, does the new logo suffer the same fate as EventBlocks’ new logo in Studio? I’d be willing to do one for BlockLua as well (although I don’t think BlockLua needs it as much lol).

This looks like a really neat plugin for beginners. However, I wouldn’t teach any newcoming coders with it any farther than basic functions, printing, and variables. This looks like it would be a good place to learn, then slowly transition into Lua. Good luck with this plugin, and I hope newcoming developers can be inspired by it!

I can appreciate the amount of time you must have put into this plugin @Xsticcy 
Its really well designed + a good alternative for beginners in Studio so have bought it + EventBlocks to support your efforts in helping making roblox game dev more accessible.
