    I created a block to display a custom data I fetch from the DB, I don't need customization (fields) for this blocks. But in the editor doesn't render de template unless there is a field and the field is filled.

    add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function ( $meta_boxes ) {
	$meta_boxes[] = [
		'title'           => 'My Block' ,
		'id'              => 'my-block' ,
		'type'            => 'block' ,
		'mode'            => 'preview' ,
		'render_callback' => function () { echo '<h1>My Block</h1>'; },
	];

	return $meta_boxes;
});

    I have set mode=preview. What am I missing?

    Hi,

    The extension MB Blocks only support rendering the block if it has at least one custom field. I will inform the development team to consider supporting this case.

    Hi !

    Do you have news on this ?
    I'm using InnerBlocks and sometime I don't need fields. I'm using MB Block to wrap code around gutenberg content.

    Thanks

    I need this feature too.
    Rendering some html-only block without triggering a custom field.

    Any news?
    Thanks!

    I would also like the block to render even if there are no custom fields. It does not make any sense to tell the user, "Click the Edit icon in the block toolbar to enter content" if there are no fields to fill out.

    My block does technically have a "field" in the list of Fields in Edit Field Group, but it is just Custom HTML that explains the block has no settings. It still renders in the editor with the "Click the Edit icon" message.

    I can think of use cases for this, is it implemented now?

    I would want this feature added as well. I have a spacer block, sometimes it takes classes but i'd like it to render on the page editor even if the user doesn't pass any data to the fields.
