Massive Fan Petition Sees Mojang Studios Honor Technoblade With Another Incredible Minecraft Gesture
Follow Us
Technoblade aka Alex was an extremely popular Minecraft YouTuber. He succumbed to Sarcoma, a type of bone cancer, last week after a year-long battle. His father took to his YouTube channel to let his fans know of the incident. Since then, Technoblade’s fandom had been trying to create memories for the pro-Minecrafter in his favorite game.
While a number of creators, including his friendly rival Dream and his favorite server, Hypixel, built structures to honor Technoblade, fans wanted Mojang Studios to add an official touch too. As it happens, Mojang Studios had already added Technoblade’s signature ‘pig with a crown’ character to the launcher’s home screen. But that didn’t seem enough a tribute for a Minecraft icon like Alex.

Many fans had more ideas for remembering Technoblade!
Hopefully they also add the pig which wears a crown when we name it Technoblade.

Would've been cool if they would've made a pig with his crown as a rare mob
— ALTER MC (@Alter___MC) July 6, 2022
they should add an easter egg where naming a pig “technoblade” gives it a crown and maybe even makes it immortal or something.

Most of Techno’s fandom were simply grateful and happy!
Thank you Mojang, tysm pic.twitter.com/2ex04wucPf
