BlockMeister – Block Pattern Builder

With BlockMeister creating custom block patterns becomes easy. The patterns can be designed just like you design a blog post or a page with the block editor.
You can assign any (custom) category or keywords. By doing so, your patterns are categorized in a way that makes sense to your users and keywords make it easier to find a pattern. Your custom patterns will be available from the block patterns tab in the inserter panel.

Announcement: transition to core pattern editor

The WordPress team has released WordPress 6.3 on August 8, 2023. That release came with features to create and manage custom patterns out of the box. WP 6.4 will add category support. BlockMeister is currently being rewritten to support and enhance the core pattern editor. This promises a smooth transition for existing users of BlockMeister, while keeping extra features like keywords, settings and future new features.

Note: BlockMeister v4 will require WP 6.4 and will probably be released later this year.
