Minecraft Adds In-Game Tribute To Popular YouTuber Technoblade

The game’s original splash screen also featured the pig in that spot, but it had no crown before. While Minecraft has not directly acknowledged the new splash screen change just yet, the game did tweet via its official handle mourning the loss of the popular creator recently.

Technoblade had amassed over 13 million followers on YouTube and was 23 when he passed away due to cancer, news that was made official by his family members via the channel. His name was Alex.

Tributes to the Technoblade had been pouring in from other streamers and members of the Minecraft creator community since the video of his family was released on July 1. Titled ‘so long nerds’, the six-and-a-half-minute video has since had over 56 million views.

Technoblade had revealed back in August last year that he was battling cancer and in a subsequent fundraising video posted in February, the creator also explained that he underwent chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and a limb salvage operation after a painful tumor developed in his right arm.

“Thank you all for supporting my content over the years,” read a farewell message by the creator, narrated by his father in the video. “If I had another hundred lives, I think I would choose to be Technoblade again every single time as those were the happiest years of my life,” it added.
