10 Touching Tributes Hidden In Video Games
4. Technoblade Tribute - Minecraft
Technoblade was one of the most prominent figures in the Minecraft Youtube community. His content popularized a variety of special challenges and contests centred on the game, and it was one of the reasons Minecraft saw a resurgence in popularity in recent years.
His unexpected death due to metastatic sarcoma in June 2022 was a huge blow to not only his fans but also the Minecraft community as a whole. Technoblade received numerous tributes from his fellow streamers and content creators, as well as from the creators of Minecraft, Mojang Studios.
On July 2, 2022, the developers changed Minecraft's title screen to feature a pig wearing a crown, in reference to Technoblade's online avatar and skin in the game. The tribute was removed after a month, but afterwards, thanks to Technoblade's fans' suggestion, Mojang added a new splash text to the menu screen: "Technoblade never dies!"
It seems appropriate, given that his name and numerous donations to sarcoma-fighting charities continue to have a significant positive impact to this day.
