Technoblade's iconic crown pig is now a part of the game that he adored.
Technoblade's passing Minecraft YouTuber Technoblade (opens in new tab) last week after a year-long battle with cancer has prompted an outpouring of condolences from fellow streamers and Minecraft content creators. Shortly thereafter, Minecraft studio Mojang also paid tribute to the streamer by making a subtle but important modification 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 however, we all here at Minecraft are heartbroken over the loss of Technoblade. He meant so much to our community and brought us so many joy. He will be greatly missed. just another mini blog July 1 2022
"We have been trying to find the words however, we all here at Minecraft are grieving over the loss of Technoblade," the studio wrote. "He was a huge part of our community and brought so many joy. He will be missed dearly."
A short time later, Minecraft fans began noticing an even more distinctive and long-lasting tribute to Technoblade on the Minecraft Java Edition loading page: A previously nondescript pig in the background of the scene is now sporting a crown, a quiet but unmistakable reference to Technoblade's famous crowned character and YouTube (opens in new tab) icon.
Although it's not certain whether the change will last at the moment I am sure it will. The Minecraft community is extremely pleased by the new design The announcement on Twitter from Techno Updates Techno Updates account has already gathered more than 237,000 likes.
