Drupal Image field missing in Block types > Edit block > Manage fields

Question

I am new to Drupal and am creating a custom theme, but for some reason, the Image Field option is missing when I try to add a new field in the 'Manage Fields' section under Block types. This is a fresh install using DDEV and Drush. Are there any settings I need to enable to make image field visible, or am I missing something?

Answer 1

Select "file upload" and you will be able to select an image field.

If you want to store images as entities, maybe you want to enable the media module.
