Dark humor, unmatched Minecraft skill, a shiny golden bell for primes, and a signature royal-themed pig skin are the trademark features of one-of-a-kind creator Technoblade. The name Technoblade is a staple in the Minecraft scene and he inspired many with his unique personality, engaging content, and impressive skillset.
On June 30, 2022, Technoblade’s family uploaded a video titled “so long nerds” revealing the creator had lost his battle with cancer. The video also shared a special message for fans that the Minecraft star wrote before his passing.
Technoblade was widely renowned for his impressive Minecraft player-versus-player skills and joined the scene in 2013. Since then, the creator amassed over 10 million subscribers on YouTube, won several Minecraft Mondays and MC Championships, and overall created a legacy as “The Blade” whose skills marked him as a formidable force unlike any other.

The book will be available for players to sign for a month and then will be printed and sent to Technoblade’s family.
