The sound comes from Minecraft, the sandbox game first released by Mojang in 2011. Short block noises from the game became widely recognisable through YouTube gameplay, animations, livestreams and meme edits. Even people who do not actively play Minecraft often know the sound immediately because it is tied to building, mining and inventory interactions seen across gaming culture. Its staying power comes from that instant recognition and from how easily such a tiny audio cue fits into short-form edits, reaction clips and comedic transitions.
