The Minecraft Crafting Table Meme, meaning the phrase "Standing on the Crafting Table" or "Standing on the Furnace" began in the early parts of the Dream SMP when the characters (and their creators) GeorgeNotFound and Sapnap (accidentally or "accidentally", there's disagreements) discovered that by standing on a crafting table block in Minecraft, the way the height of the block changes the character's height, it allows you to easily simulate oral sex/fellatio. The idea circulated among the Dream SMP members, with many, including Tommyinnit, Tubbo, Quackity, Skeppy, BadBoyHalo***, and a6d, reacting to it.

Now "standing on a crafting table" or "standing on a furnace" are jokingly used as euphemisms or innuendo by fans in MCYT and general Minecraft fandoms for oral sex or occasionally just "plain intercourse". Because Smokers and Blast Furnaces are "evolutions" of the normal furnace in Minecraft "standing on a smoker or blast furnace" is sometimes used as a way to hint or wink at something associated with kinky sex or something the speaker considers more extreme or intense. Occasionally other things like "enchanting tables" or other blocks are used, but these are generally the most common. A common way of saying it is "I'd stand on a crafting table for you/this person" meaning showing interest or wishing to have sex, or attraction.

Fanart by kwitchi of BadBoyHalo sitting on a crafting table, refusing to acknowledge this meme. Reactions of fans to a reupload of this image on Pinterest mostly telling BBH to get off the crafting table in reference this meme can be seen here.

.*** (There's a minor gag, because one of BadBoyHalo's traits as a character is his "uprightness" and dislike of explicit language, both swearing and sexual, of various characters trying to explain the meaning of the crafting table meme to him. Since no one has been able to explain the euphemism to him without being quieted, BadBoyHalo continues to refer to the weird ways people react to crafting tables as "some superstitions".)

Fan Reactions

An example of this meme in the wild can be found in reactions to this fanart based on a scene from a livestream featuring BadBoyHalo, Quackity, and Skeppy by PdqgbF.

Last year, I was just watching a compilation (forgot the title) and then when this showed up, I immediately exited the video and just screamed in my mind for a few minutes. After I calmed down, I tried to watch it. It went well but when it reached the part where Quackity told Bad to stand on the crafting table, I started to lose my mind and when Quackity started to move his head, I just took one peak and couldn’t handle it, so I exited the video and repeated what I did earlier again
