can i use the scratch programming language in this jam

Yes, of course. I just recommend going with something that makes it easy for people to download and play your game without having to jump through any extra hoops like downloading additional software.

Although scratch is pretty primitive, there's a way to convert scratch files to HTML so you can actually upload them on itch. You use this program called htmlifier and upload a scratch save file. This can be further uploaded to itch using the normal method. The only caveat is that the files contain ALL of Scratch's code base. Link to the Github: https://sheeptester.github.io/htmlifier/

Per usual, I've used the program before BUT download at your own risk 

If you want a scratch alternative that requires no code I'd recommend Construct 3. It still doesn't require that much code, only a few lines (that you can look up online) It uses block-based coding, although not as childish as Scratch and designed to be a real engine.

thank you for suggesting an alternative but i am in the process of learning other languages

is construct good for 3d

it’s only a 2d engine, so I’d say it’s pretty crappy for 3d
