 * Hello all,
    I am creating my website using localhost MAMP. I notice that the 
   block editor is different from the one in WP.com. Some blocks aren’t there like
   the Hero, Masonry,Stacked, CoBlocks, CoBlock galleries and so on. Why is this
   so? Is it because at WP.org we must create these ourselves OR it is because i’m
   using a localhost so there’s limited features? Like will these block features
   be there is using a paid host??
 * If so how can we create these same features like using a Hero block for example?
   And once created, when I upload the website live, will there be any problem as
   it wasn’t an element that was part of the block editor??
 * Thank you.

 * wordpress.com using block addons available by Jetpack plugin,
    maybe some more
   addons. You can make your site more wordpress.com-like by installing Jetpack

 * but it is not recommended on localhost installs, because for full functionality
   Jetpack needs to be reachable from WordPress.com

   the only way?

   has limited features? 2. how can we create these same features like using a Hero
   block for example? (besides installing Jetpack) 3. And once created, when I upload
   the website live, will there be any problem as it wasn’t an element that was

 * 1. using local host implies those limits:
    * your host is not reachable by external
   services, some features of Jetpack may not work * Your local set up may differ
   from typical hosting, some PHP extensions may be disabled, you can revise your
   server configuration and enable them. See if _Dashboard > Tools > Site Health_
   can advise you anything.
 * Here are no other limits compared to non-local set ups.
 * 2, Here are many block libraries available as plugins.
    Example: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/peuwl-hero-block-lite/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/peuwl-hero-block-lite/)
   Please explore **search** in plugin catalog to find whatever you need.
 * 3. Shouldnt be any problem if server configurations dont differ much.
    I’d recommend
   to use _migration plugins_ to transfer your site to hosting. Such as [https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/)
