This is a reference of the Block Editor blocks available in WordPress as of 6.4.3. There is an online resource here:

But being the visual person I am, I find it helps to see what the available blocks are. This is especially useful for those who might want to create custom templates, or do custom work on a WordPress website. Basically I’ve just spat out everything (Blocks) onto the page that comes from this:

Obviously this is based on the vanilla WordPress setup, no custom items have been added, and as of writing I’m using the WordPress twenty twenty theme. I won’t be adding any configuration for any block item, but not that some may have a lot of configuration options.
So use dev tools, inspect the code, view in different viewports, see what is getting output. Have fun!
If you’ve created your own blog post, you can see what editor blocks are being used (on the edit post page) by entering this in the dev console:
wp.data.select("core/block-editor").getBlocks()
A word of caution: some of these blocks will override items you have in important places such as site tagline for the website, site title etc. Bear this in mind when working with the blocks in your own code…
Here goes!
