Mojang pays tribute to Technoblade with an Easter egg
Popular Minecraft Youtuber Technoblade passed away after his yearlong battle with stage four cancer last week. His passing was announced by his family in an emotional video posted on his channel titled, “so long nerds,” which shows his father reading his final words to the Minecraft community.
Technoblade started creating Minecraft content 8 years ago and became one of the staple personalities within the community. Techno gained millions of subscribers over the years, primarily because of the humor in his content and his Minecraft tournaments against other Minecraft Youtubers. As his popularity rose, he became part of Dream SMP and had a friendly rivalry with Dream.
Following his death, Youtubers Techno has collaborated with, his fans, his community, and even Mojang shared their condolences. Mojang, Minecraft’s developers, left an easter egg honoring Technoblade’s legacy over the years.
