p>Minecraft has been updated to pay tribute to the popular streamer Technoblade, whose death from cancer was announced by his family last week. The splash image for Minecraft in the game's launcher now has an ox sporting a golden crown - a reference to Technoblade's Minecraft character, a royal pig-man wearing an extravagant crown.
/p>
p>The Minecraft team tweeted on Friday that the team was "heartbroken over the loss of Technoblade," writing that Technoblade "brought many joy" to the community of the game.
/p>
p>We've been trying to find the right words but we're all devastated by the loss of Technoblade. He was a huge part of our community and brought us so many joy. We will miss him deeply.

p>Technoblade was an extremely popular Minecraft streamer with more than 13 million users on YouTube? and was a part of the hit server Dream SMP. In a YouTube? video published on Thursday, Technoblade's dad read an email from the streamer and then discussed the effort that went into making this final video as he was struggling with cancer. At the time of writing, it has more than 54 million views. https://dibbleweek41.doodlekit.com/blog/entry/22663644/piper-raised-21-million-to-teach-kids-to-code-through-minecraft https://txt.fyi/-/22259/9b0a3dfe/ </p>
p>Tributes to Technoblade have poured in from other streamers and members of the Minecraft creator community. A lot of fan art was posted on Twitter in memory of Technoblade during the last days.
/p>
p>Although the Minecraft team hasn’t yet acknowledged the splash screen update, they clearly made this small change to honor. Although the original launcher image shows an ox in the same spot, it does not have Technoblade's trademark crown.
