   Example from Block Editor Handbook:

   register_block_pattern_category(
       'hero',
       array( 'label' => __( 'Hero', 'wpdocs-my-plugin' ) )

   These categories already exist in core as of 5.5.1:

   • buttons
   • columns
   • gallery
   • header
   • text

   • Now also available featured and query

   Another way to register custom block category with init hook

    function wpdocs_block_pattern_category() {
   	register_block_pattern_category( 'wpdocs-patterns', array(
   		'label' => __( 'My Patterns', 'text-domain' )
   	) );
   }
   
   add_action( 'init', 'wpdocs_block_pattern_category' );

   From Block editor handbook: register_block_pattern_category() should be called from a handler attached to the init hook.
