The y position block is a reporter block that reports the current y position of the sprite. It originates from Scratch. The default y position for paint sprites or blank sprites is 28, while other new sprites start at a random position. In the default project, the Penguin sprite is at (0, 0).

Workaround

This block can be worked around by using a variable to save the y position when the set y to () or change y by () blocks are used:

define set y to (number1)
set [y pos v] to (number1)
set y to (number1)
define change y by (number1)
set y to ((number1) + (y pos))::custom

However, this workaround does not account for the y position limit if offscreen, or "Remove Fencing" is disabled.
