English term or phrase: one place a block on top of another block

"I call that one, Symphony in E. A new composition to celebrate my newest discovery! This time, I observed one place a block on top of another block. Rudimentary, yes. But a sign of undeniable intelligence! I hope I’m not imagining things. Goodness knows, it’s happened before. I -- better eat something. I’m positively lightheaded with excitement!"

I can't really understand the fragment - please advise!
It's from Minecraft, where the whole world consists of blocks.
Yet it's not clear to me what this guy (a very intelligent builder and researcher) means.
