ContentBlocks is a powerful content manager for MODX allowing editors to create modular, multi-column content.
ContentBlocks has been a cornerstone of modmore since its first release in 2014. Not just our most popular extra, but a redefinition of how users approach MODX, offering fresh functionality and inspiring innovation.
However, even great tools need to evolve. Over the years, we’ve been working on a complete overhaul of ContentBlocks to bring it to the next level. The vision for ContentBlocks 2 was first unveiled at our 10-year celebration in Berlin in 2023, and in 2024, we were showcasing our progress at meetups and private workshops. 2025 is the year we want to bring it to life.
ContentBlocks 2 is a complete rebuild. Taking the lessons and things that work well in v1, modernising them, and then adding the missing pieces we identified over the last decade and adding the strict typing you deserve.
Three main pillars of ContentBlocks 2 include:
There's a lot more we could say and write, but we'd rather show you. So here is a video, recorded in February 2025, showing you a bit of ContentBlocks as it is coming together, discussing the roadmap, and the crowdfunder you will find below.
Development is currently starting back up after a sprint of client work and other priorities, working towards an initial alpha release around June 2025.
We're hoping to finish ContentBlocks 2.0 this year. You can learn more about the exact current status in our roadmap here.
To bring ContentBlocks 2 to completion, we're looking for extra support in the form of funding.
Additional funding will allow us to dedicate more time and resources to this project. It enables us to bring in extra help, accelerate development, and reduce the need to take on external consulting projects that pay the bills--but divert our focus away from ContentBlocks.
If you’d like to support the development of ContentBlocks 2, we’ve
created several sponsor packages to make it easy to contribute. Every
bit of support helps us get ContentBlocks 2 closer to release this year.
Sponsors are invited to a private Slack channel (through Slack Connect or as a Guest) where we will post the developer videos and keep you informed about the progress.
Some perks are focused on the Launch Party. We know roughly when and where that will be, and what the schedule will look like, but we won't start formally organizing that until closer to the release, so we can time it right for when ContentBlocks 2.0 is actually ready. We can tell you that it will take place centrally in the Netherlands, on a Friday night, featuring a few talks and live lounge music. VIP Tickets are only available through sponsoring the 2.0 development and cover a VIP dinner before the party plus your drinks. Sponsors will get a save-the-date as soon as we confirm the date.
For support of €1500 or more, we're happy to discuss a monthly payment plan instead of a lump sum. Drop us an email.
Help us fund ContentBlocks 2.0 to dedicate more time and resources to it. Funding enables us to bring in extra help, accelerate development, and reduce the need to take on external consulting projects that divert our focus.

Sterc
In 2025, Sterc celebrates its 20th anniversary. Throughout all these years, we've been working with MODX, and our partnership with modmore has been essential to us. That's why we’re proud to fund 20% of ContentBlocks 2. Hope to see you at the launch party! ;-)
1: in-person launch party date, location, and other specifics are yet to be determined. VIP tickets include dinner and drinks. Travel/lodging not included. VIP tickets are transferable up to 2 weeks before the event. VIP tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded if you are unable to attend.
2: number of licenses you will be able to unlock the v2 upgrade for, free of charge, upon release. The 2.0 upgrade fee and brackets are to be determined (will definitely be different from how we handled the Redactor v3 upgrade); but we guarantee sponsors get the best possible deal.
3: GitHub access is subject to a NDA, read-only, and provided at modmore's discretion. GitHub access may be revoked at any time with no refund. GitHub access expires after the 2.0 stable release. Developers interested in actively contributing development time may apply.
4: for the weekend of the Launch Party, we book and arrange a private group accommodation for you and your team (up to 8 people, 5 bedrooms) with full service pack (made beds, towels, etc). We'll talk to you before booking to confirm details. We also arrange a shuttle bus to pick you up from the group accommodation and bring you to the launch party venue for dinner, and back. We stock the fridge for you upon your arrival with a variety of drinks, snacks, and breakfast supplies. Travel, dinner, and other activities not included. Terms apply.
