Your're letting the reverse logical style of mod_rewrite and .htaccess
color your perception.

In Nginx things operate in a forward logical way:

1. Define which extensions you want to allow, e.g.:

location ~* \.(?:jpe?g|png|ico|gif|css|js|) {
# serve the files
}

location ~* (which extensions are going to be blocked) {
return 444;
}

Mind you that relying solely on the file extension is a rather weak
way of filtering files. You can tamper the file magic number quite
easily.
