Mojang Pays Tribute To Technoblade On The Minecraft Loading Screen The death of Minecraft YouTuber Technoblade (opens in new tab) last week after a year-long struggle with cancer drew an outpouring of tributes from fellow streamers and Minecraft content creators. Mojang, the Minecraft studio, also paid respects to Technoblade by making a subtle but significant change to the Minecraft Java Edition loading screen. Mojang tweeted its own tribute to Technoblade on July 1, when his death was first announced. We have been trying to find the words, but all of us here at Minecraft are heartbroken over the loss of Technoblade. He meant so much to our community and brought so much joy. He will be deeply missed. July 1, 2022 "We have been trying hard to find the words but all of us at Minecraft are heartbroken about the loss Technoblade," wrote the studio. "He meant so many things to our community and brought us so much joy. He will be deeply missed." Soon after, Minecraft users noticed a more distinctive and lasting tribute to Technoblade in the Minecraft Java Edition loading page. A previously undescript pig is now wearing the crown. This is a quiet, but noticeable nod towards Technoblade's famous crowned pig avatar as well as the YouTube (opens in new window) icon. Although it is not clear if the change will be permanent at this time, I believe it will. The change is very welcome by the Minecraft community: The Techno Updates Twitter account posted the news about the change. It has attracted over 237,000 likes. My cms
