One of the most beloved Minecraft youtubers, Technoblade died when he was 23 on June 30th from cancer. It was a sad moment when fans heard the news from his family. But everyone believed that Technoblade’s memory will live on.

Technoblade’s family posted a video, called “So Long Nerds” to share Technoblade’s goodbye message. It started with, “Hello everyone, Technoblade here. If you’re watching this, I am dead. So let’s have one final chat. My real name is Alex…”.

In the letter he said that he was very grateful to have all of his fans sport (incorrect word usage). He also wrote, “If I had another hundred lives, I think I would choose to be Technoblade again every single time, as those were the happiest years of my life,”.

Technoblade’s death affected many people worldwide. The Hypixel SkyBlock was a Minecraft server that Technoblade went on very often to have the Great Potato War. This was the competition for the most potatoes farmed. He and a player named “im_a_squid_kid” fought for the number one place in Hypixel by farming the most potatoes.

Technoblade also did many other things on Hypixel, like being the mayor. When people on Hypixel SkyBlock heard the unfortunate news, they all gathered around virtually and said goodbye to Technoblade.

The Minecraft community is also very sad to lose on the most loved Minecraft players ever. They might even add a splash text (the yellow text players see on the home screen) saying “Technoblade never dies!”. They say that if Technoblade’s family approves, the new splash text will come in the next update.

Technoblade’s death is a very unfortunate thing, but his spirit lives on. He will be remembered and fans and friends of Technoblade will always know, his memory will always live on.
