Minecraft is one of those games that's so popular, that it can turn its player base into stars themselves. Sadly, one such star has been the subject of a lot of fan discussion lately when YouTuber Technoblade died a few days ago after a lengthy battle with cancer. With more than 13 million subscribers on his channel at the time of writing, his departure has left behind a large hole in the community, and while many mourn the loss, the official studio has paid a fitting tribute to him. As noted by PC Gamer, Minecraft creators appears to have subtly updated the loading screen for the Java version of Minecraft. Those who are not familiar with Technoblade, who's real name is Alexander, may not notice the recent change, but those who knew him well will be able to spot that the pig in the background has been changed. Upon its head now rests a golden crown sporting several jewels. This is almost certainly a nod to the YouTuber, whose avatar consists of a pig wearing royal clothes and the aforementioned crown. The report from PC Gamer goes on to state that there's no way to know whether this is a permeant change, or just a temporary tribute. Of course, it would be nice if Technoblade remained a fixture on the loading screen forever. It should also be reiterated that the update has been for the Java edition of Minecraft rather than the Bedrock version. The change was spotted by the Twitter account Techno Updates, a profile that chronicles updates on Technoblade. Many on the thread have been leaving comments, touched by the tribute that the creators has paid to the missed YouTuber. Such stars as Technoblade may be gone, but they are certainly not forgotten. With Minecraft still one of the most played games around, despite it being more than a decade old at this point, the memories of those who have unfortunately passed away will live on in the blocky realm. Creators altering the loading screen for the game shows that even the studio itself recognizes a terrible loss in the fan base.
Tweet from Minecraft :-
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 missed dearly. 
Last words from the legend Technoblade :-
Hello everyone, Technoblade here.
If you’re watching this, I am dead. So let’s sit down and have one final chat. My real name is Alex.
I had one of my siblings call me Dave one time in a deleted video from 2016, and it was one of the most successful pranks we’ve ever done. Thousands of creepy online dudes trying to get overly personal going ‘Oh hey Dave, how’s it going?’.
Sorry for selling out so much in the past year, but thanks to everyone that bought hoodies, plushies, and channel memberships. My siblings are going to college! Well, if they choose to. I don’t want any dead bro peer pressure on them.
But that’s all from me. Thank you all for supporting my content over the years. If I had another 100 lives, I would choose to be Technoblade again every single time, as those were the happiest years of my life.
I hope you guys enjoyed my content and I made some of you laugh, and I hope you all go on and live long, prosperous and happy lives because I love you guys.
Technoblade, out.
