Minecraft Adds Tribute to Technoblade Following the Death of Streamer

<h1> Minecraft Adds Tribute to Technoblade Following the Death of Streamer</h1> <html><body> Minecraft has been updated with a tribute to the streamer Technoblade, whose death from cancer was announced by his family last week. <a href="https://www.bonfire.im/">Minecraft</a> The splash image for Minecraft in the game's launcher now has a pig wearing a golden crown - a reference to Technoblade's Minecraft character and a royal pig-man sporting an extravagant crown. The tweet on Friday from the Minecraft team revealed that they were "heartbroken" by Technoblade's death and that Technoblade "brought such joy to the gaming community." We have been trying to find the words but we all here at Minecraft are grieving over the loss of Technoblade. He was a great friend to our community and brought us so many joy. He will be deeply missed. Technoblade was a popular Minecraft streamer with more than 13 million subscribers on YouTube. Technoblade was also part of the popular server Dream SMP. In a YouTube video published last Thursday, Technoblade's dad read a message from Technoblade and talked about the work that had gone into making this final video as he was struggling with cancer. The video has been watched more than 54 million times at the time of writing. Technoblade has been the focus of many tributes from streamers and other members of the Minecraft creator community. In the time since, countless pieces of fanart have been posted to Twitter to mark the occasion, too. The Minecraft team hasn't explicitly acknowledged the splash screen updated yet, but they've clearly pushed out this small change in tribute. The original version of the launcher image features a pig in the same position, but it doesn't have Technoblade's signature crown. Next Up In Tech </body></html> </h1>
