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. Shortly thereafter, Minecraft studio Mojang also paid its respects to the streamer by making a subtle but important 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've been trying to find the words but we are all heartbroken by the loss Technoblade. He was so important to our community and brought us so much joy. Just Another Wordpress Site He will be dearly missed. July 1, 2022



"We have been trying all day to find the right words, but we at Minecraft are devastated by the loss Technoblade," said the studio. "He meant so very much to our communities and brought so many 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.



It's not clear at this point whether the change will be permanent, although I expect it will be. The Minecraft community is extremely pleased by the change: The tweet about the change from the Techno Updates account has so far attracted more than 237,000 likes. Just Another Wordpress Site
