You can manipulate $post in your block and then use the standard post loop:

$posts = get_posts(array('post_type' => 'YOUR_POSTYPE', 'posts_per_page' => 3 ));

and then

if( $posts ): ?>
    <?php foreach( $posts as $post): // variable must be called $post (IMPORTANT) ?>
        <?php setup_postdata($post); ?>
        
        // Your code

    <?php endforeach; ?>
    <?php wp_reset_postdata(); // IMPORTANT - reset the $post object so the rest of the page works correctly ?>
<?php endif; ?>

If you want to give the user the option to change, let’s say the ammount of posts, then you can set the value of a field as variable in your array:

$number_of_posts = get_field('your field');
$posts = get_posts(array('post_type' => 'YOUR_POSTYPE', 'posts_per_page' => $number_of_posts ));
