is there a reason why this block doesn’t appear in the palette?

2

The reason is likely because the block is only meant to be used internally and not by the user.

3

couldn’t that be the case for any library’s blocks? this is the first one i’ve noticed that’s hidden from that palette
not that it’s impossible, i’m just confused

4

Most of our libraries predate the feature of hiding blocks in the palette. The MQTT one is very recent.

5

is there a specific known reason why the block’s hidden or is it just like that?

6

As Brian said, the ability to hide helper blocks like this is a recent feature and I just used it to save cluttering up the palette
