Blocksmith redefines the way you work with Craft CMS Matrix fields. Forget long dropdown lists and experience a sleek, modern modal for block selection, enhanced by visual previews and intuitive controls. Whether you're adding a block via the "New entry" button or through the enhanced context menu, Blocksmith transforms block selection into a seamless and visually engaging experience.

Key Features:

Intuitive modal for block/entry type selection: Replaces Craft's native dropdown with a streamlined and visually enhanced modal interface, which also supports tall content types for better previews.
Context menu enhancements: Add blocks directly above existing ones with the "Add block above" option, replacing Craft's native individual entry type buttons.
Enable or Disable Previews: Option to enable or disable previews for specific Matrix fields, improving workflow in nested Matrix setups.
Flexible preview settings: Upload custom preview images directly via the Craft Asset Browser or use handle-based preview images as an alternative if preferred.
Enhanced layout and usability: Masonry.js ensures a flexible and aesthetic grid layout, even for blocks with tall content previews.
Block settings management: Easily manage block descriptions and preview images directly within the "Configure Blocks" section.
Category Management: Organize blocks into categories and quickly filter them for a streamlined selection experience.
Matrix Extended Compatibility: Matrix Extended's context menu button and button group are displayed when Blocksmith's preview modal is disabled for a Matrix field.
