Make a custom block to render a published content Is there way to make a custom block displays a list of published contents?

I tried... 


Create a new block type with just one field of type Reference->content.
Create a new block with recently created type.
Configure visibility -> type of content to a particular type of content on this recently created block.  
Place block in block layout.
Publish a new content.


But at the end nothing is rendered on my page.

Drupal 8 question.
The easier way to achieve this problem is by creating a view block. That only show the content that is been published. Then you going to add that view block on any region that you wish.

Here is the code for a export view block that only show content that have been published.
