p>Minecraft has been updated with a tribute to the streamer Technoblade, whose death from cancer was announced by his family last week. The Minecraft splash image that appears in the game's launcher has the pig wearing a golden crown. This is a tribute to Technoblade's Minecraft character. It's a royal pig with a bejeweled crown.

/p>

p>The tweet posted on Friday by the Minecraft team said that they were "heartbroken" by the death of Technoblade and that Technoblade "brought such joy to the gaming community."

/p>

p>We've been trying to find the right words, but all of us here at Minecraft are grieving over the loss of Technoblade. He meant so much to our community and brought so many smiles. He will be deeply missed.

/p>

p>Technoblade was a hugely popular Minecraft streamer, with more than 13 million subscribers on YouTube, and was part of the hit server Dream SMP. In a YouTube clip that was published on Thursday, Technoblade's dad read an email from the streamer and then discussed the effort put into the final video, as he was struggling with cancer. It was viewed more than 54 million times at the time of writing.

p>Technoblade has been the focus of numerous tributes from streamers and other members of the Minecraft creator community. A lot of fan art was also posted to Twitter in honor of Technoblade during the last days.

p>Although the Minecraft team hasn't yet acknowledged the splash screen update, they clearly made this small change as a tribute. The original launcher image still features the same pig in the same position, but it lacks Technoblade's signature crown. https://fantailor0.doodlekit.com/blog/entry/22641374/minecraft-is-bringing-story-mode-to-ios </p>
