[Mis à jour le 5 juillet 2022 à 12h37] The death of the Technoblade streamer has resonated deep within the hearts of the Minecraft gaming and streamer community. Tributes to the young 23-year-old American streamer are multiplying, lamenting the significant loss of a member of their community who had to battle for more than a year against arm cancer.

Mojang also wanted to pay tribute to the young Youtuber by making a change as discreet as it is important in the Java version of his Minecraft game.

Minecraft mourns the loss of Technoblade

It was through a Youtube video titled “So long nerds” that the world learned of Technoblade’s passing on July 1st. We can see his father there reading a letter from the young Youtuber addressed to his fans, a touching message of farewell and thanks to a solid community that has long supported him. The Youtuber apologizes for having marketed his image so much, thanking the many fans who bought his derivative products and who allowed him to offer the possibility to his brothers and sisters to go to university. There follow a few photos of the young man who had never revealed his own identity. A letter of a few minutes and a strong message that did not escape Mojang.

“We tried to find the right words, but all of us at Mojang are devastated by the loss of Technoblade. He was so important to our community and brought so much to it. He will be greatly missed.”

The Minecraft developer has indeed introduced a new element in the java version of its Minecraft game, in the form of a pig wearing a crown positioned in the background of the game’s loading screen. subtle and strong taking up the flagship signature of the young man. It is not yet known whether this change in the background of the game will be permanent, but it may well be that the tribute to the Youtuber remains permanently in the cubic game. Gamers and streamers around the world greeted this momentous tribute with just under 500,000 likes and 4,000 responses of support and condolences. A great action for a talented and appreciated streamer who will be missed by all.

Version 1.19 The Wild arrived this Tuesday in Minecraft, the opportunity for us to give you a complete overview of its new features. Among these, we mainly find the addition of two new biomes, which bring us new blocks, but also new animals:

• Mangroves, which are a complete overhaul of the swamp biome. The latter will therefore have two variants where you can discover new blocks, including mangrove wood and mud in particular, but also many new animals, such as tadpolesthem fireflies and the frogs.

• The caves of the depths, where growths capable of detecting sounds grow. This dangerous place will be the lair of a terrifying new monster: the Guardian. Blind but incredibly powerful, he is one of the greatest dangers in Minecraft, a constant threat that adds a little spice to explorations of the great depths. A welcome addition, which may remind Minecraft veterans of the terror of the first nights spent in the game.

Of course, we can also find new blocks in the game, such as mud and mud bricks, while the deep caves biome contains very special blocks, sculks. These are relatively invasive, come in three variations, and can be used with redstone. They can also be used as motion detectors, but be careful, if you put your foot in the wrong place on these blocks, you could attract the attention of a Guardian. But that’s not all, a new animal is entering the game, it’s the Allay, a winged creature capable of carrying large quantities of blocks. The Allay is the creature that received the most votes from the public during Minecraft Live 2021.

During Minecraft Live 2021, one of the big announcements was the inclusion of Minecraft in Xbox Game Pass. Nothing surprising, you might say, given the close ties that unite the cubic game and Microsoft, but a small event all the same since this offer does not only concern the Bedrock edition, but also the Java edition. The addition of crossplay and cross-save features also ensured the success of this offer on PC and console. As a reminder, the Xbox Game Pass is Microsoft’s paid video game subscription service, offering its subscribers a titanic catalog of games, in free access.
