The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

You mean something like this https://forkgen.tech/

If you want to do it yourself, you'll need to do something like this,

Quote

    You need a new genesis block.
    You need a different address byte (e.g. bitcoin uses 0).
    You need to change the default port and rpc port.
    You need a way for clients to find one another. You can run a DNS seed.
    You need to change the "backup client list" which is a bunch of 32 bit integers which represent IP addresses.
    You need somebody to mine initially, because otherwise transactions won't confirm.
    You need to alter the default datadir directory.
    You need to change the magic number in the protocol header, otherwise your client might connect to the Litecoin network by accident, wasting bandwidth.
    You need to change the alert keys, otherwise the Litecoin devs can send alerts onto your network.
    Add a transaction to the UTXDB which is your premine transaction

Not exactly what you're looking for, but if you just want to make your own altcoin or something similar, you can do/follow some of these guides.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=225690.0
https://themerkle.com/altcoins-dying-make-one-hour/
https://vcoin-project.github.io/cloning-litecoin/

There's tons of guides out there how to make your own altcoin.

this thread is surreal....

someone that seems having no knowledge of anything about crypto is asking for a guide to copy and paste a fork on bitcoin blockchain...for what?

Internet is amazing!
