This is an alternative, it does the same thing as the other version I posted but when I create a Card block, I’m still getting the Carousel block appearing below the Card block in the editor, they appear together as if they were all one block

However, if I add the Carousel block, it is just the Carousel which is expected. I have scoured the Internet and have yet to find out how to create multiple ACF blocks.

Seems like you’d just register a new block and it should work but I’m having issues when adding the Card block and it including the Carousel block along with it.

add_action('acf/init', 'my_acf_blocks_init');
function my_acf_blocks_init() {

  // Check function exists.
  if( function_exists('acf_register_block_type') ) {

  	// register a Carousel block
  	acf_register_block_type(array(
  		'name'				    => 'carousel',
  		'title'			 	    => __('Carousel'),
  		'description'		  => __('Show images in a carousel'),
  		'render_template'	=> 'blocks/carousel.php',
  		'category'			  => 'common',
  		'icon'				    => 'slides',
  		'keywords'			  => array( 'carousel', 'gallery' ),
      'mode'            => 'edit'
  	));
  	
  	// register a Card block
  	acf_register_block_type(array(
  		'name'				    => 'card',
  		'title'			 	    => __('Card'),
  		'description'		  => __('Card with photo and info'),
  		'render_template'	=> 'blocks/card.php',
  		'category'			  => 'common',
  		'icon'				    => 'id',
  		'keywords'			  => array( 'card', 'team' ),
      'mode'            => 'edit'
  	));
  }
}
