In Minecraft, arguably the most famous sandbox game of all time, you can build great temples and monuments out of small bricks. On the internet, arguably the most massive forum for human culture ever created, you can build thriving subcultures and communities out of small memes. Like the cubes of pixelated dirt and stone that support a Minecraft player's loftiest dreamings, memes are infinitely malleable, stackable and recontextualizable.

Over the years, many have been drawn to Minecraft because the game offers open range to the imagination. It's attracted a passionate and devoted fan following that posts memes about the frustrations and joys of the game on Reddit's /r/MinecraftMemes. Whether it's griping about Mojang, the company that makes Minecraft, or sharing the delightful quirks of gameplay, this thriving community is all about sharing and building something together. Which is what everyone most loves to do online. Just watch out for the exploding creepers that can pop out at any moment.
