Extrnd Block Slider adds a slider block for the WordPress editor with responsive layout controls, navigation options, and accessible frontend output. It uses the Embla Carousel library for touch-friendly scrolling and does not require jQuery.
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Small frontend assets — streamlined JavaScript and CSS for frontend rendering</li>
<li>Zero jQuery — no jQuery dependency, not even transitively</li>
<li>Gutenberg native — configure everything inside the block editor, no admin pages</li>
<li>9 presets — Default, Hero, Gallery, Cards, Testimonials, Fullscreen, Logo Carousel, Coverflow, Fade</li>

<li>Slide counter — shows current/total slide count (e.g. 1 / 5)</li>
<li>Navigation colours — customise arrow background, arrow icon, dot, and active dot colours</li>
<li>Responsive breakpoints — desktop, tablet (≤ 1024 px), and mobile (≤ 768 px) slides per view</li>
<li>Settings & Styles tabs — organised into Settings (Preset, Layout, Playback) and Styles (Effects, Navigation, Colors) tabs</li>
