Waves Block

It works perfectly, but at least for me it requires a lot of resources. 

On a page that I had a Cover block with a video background, the video became choppy, as well as scrolling up and down the page with a mouse scroll. 

If the performance issues get fixed this would be a 5 star plugin, and I would use it religiously, as I have not seen anything like it !

Very good, but extremely resource hungry

<h4>Gradients</h4>
<p>To use a gradient, you need to wrap the wavy divider in a group block and apply the gradient to the group block. After that, create a wavy shape and apply a color that matches your content background (e.g. white). You can then switch the direction of the divider (under settings) to give a mirrored effect. This way the gradient is applied to the group block and the wavy divider acts as a mask.</p>
<h4>Group Block</h4>
<p>If nesting the wavy divider in a group block, you may want to remove the padding and margins so that the wavy divider will not have spacing around it. To handle this, select the group block, and under “Advanced” (at the bottom of the settings area) add these two classes:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>wavy-divider-remove-margin</code></li>
<li><code>wavy-divider-remove-padding</code></li>
</ul>
<h4>Patterns</h4>
<p>Within the block inserter, under the Patterns tab, select ‘Wavy Divider’ from the dropdown menu to view some example patterns.</p>
