Notes

...

Since 4.3+

Blocks are not required to be included in a route and is no longer the advised way to create a block. While old methods are still supported in 4.3, they will be depreciated in the future. The change in how blocks work in 4.3 is to give clients the ability to re-position your blocks from the AdminCP.
