p>Minecraft has been updated to pay tribute to the popular streamer Technoblade who passed away from cancer was announced by his family this week. The Minecraft splash image that appears in the game's launcher has the pig wearing a golden crown. This is an ode to Technoblade's Minecraft character. It's a regal pig-man with a crown that is bejeweled.

p>Technoblade was an extremely popular Minecraft streamer with more than 13 million users on YouTube?, and was part of the popular server Dream SMP. In a YouTube? video that was released last Thursday, Technoblade's father read an email from the streamer and talked about the work that had gone into making this final video as he battled cancer. It has been viewed more than 54 million times at the time of writing.

p>Tributes to Technoblade have come in from other streamers and members of the Minecraft creator community. Many pieces of fanart were also shared on Twitter in honor of Technoblade over the past days.

p>The Minecraft team hasn't explicitly acknowledged the splash screen's update yet, but it's clearly pushed out this small change in tribute. The original launcher image still features the same pig in the same place, but it's missing Technoblade's trademark crown.
