There’s modules everywhere in the theme and I’m not quite sure what they are.
I presume they’re excerpts from templates, but they’re not labeled this way (as blocks are).

Also, there are 25 styles of blocks when I attempt to add a new element, but only 17 block headers in the theme settings. Why?

Also, there are modules 1-19 and modules MX1-MX26. What are these?

Could you clarify the difference and how they’re used?

This is explained in the theme docs. Modules are a group of blocks. See the link to theme docs and peruse the sections to learn all this stuff. Ton of info there ??
