The meme on Twitch started with Twitch Plays Pokemon[0], which went viral back in 2014.

Also, for anyone reading this curious how this works and what it can do.. Check out the commands.js file in the repo (https://github.com/braydo25/TwitchControlsMinecraft/blob/mas...)

This has a list of the different command types presented for voting. Each command type has a set of options that are randomly selected each time a voting round starts.

Whatever gets the most votes at the end of a voting round, that command gets injected into the server via Spigot and runs in the minecraft world causing whatever was voted to happen.

I can’t believe that was 6 years ago already. Time flies.
