The Scumbag Minecraft meme is a digital spin-off of the legendary Scumbag Steve internet phenomenon. It typically features an iconic Minecraft grass block or Steve character wearing the infamous brown-and-white flat-brimmed hat. The meme is primarily used to highlight the frustrating, illogical, or 'troll' mechanics of the game, such as floating gravel, hyper-accurate skeleton archers, or the sheer misfortune of finding a creeper behind your front door. Emerging in the early 2010s across Reddit and gaming forums, it remains a favorite for players who want to vent about the game's quirks in a lighthearted way.
