Technoblade
Alexander (June 1, 1999 – June 2022), known online as Technoblade (/ˈtɛk.noʊˌbleɪd/ TEK-noh-blayd), was an American YouTuber known for his Minecraft videos, livestreams, and involvement in the Dream SMP. Technoblade registered his main channel on YouTube in 2013. His videos consisted primarily of Minecraft gameplay, particularly on the minigame server Hypixel. After rising to popularity in 2019 for his performances in player versus player (PvP) events, Technoblade was invited to the Dream SMP Minecraft server in 2020, further increasing his following.
In August 2021, Technoblade announced his diagnosis with cancer. Following unsuccessful treatment attempts, Technoblade died from metastatic sarcoma in June 2022, which prompted widespread reactions across both the Minecraft and YouTube communities. Around that time, his YouTube channel had reached nearly 11 million subscribers.
Technoblade first registered and began uploading on his main YouTube channel on October 28, 2013. Its content focused mainly on the video game Minecraft, particularly gameplay on the minigame server Hypixel. In a video from 2017, Technoblade beat Minecraft on hardcore mode using a racing wheel controller. In another series of videos, beginning with "The Great Potato War", he tried to produce the highest number of potatoes in the Hypixel gamemode SkyBlock, competing against rival im_a_squid_kid.
Technoblade rose in popularity in 2019, following multiple wins in Keemstar's "Minecraft Monday" tournaments in which he defeated multiple prominent content creators in combat. Technoblade also regularly participated in the MC Championships (MCC) tournaments with other YouTubers and won two of them. According to Cale Michael of Dot Esports, Technoblade was widely regarded as among the best Minecraft content creators, especially in player versus player (PvP) events.
Technoblade became a member of the Dream SMP in 2020, a Minecraft server hosted by the YouTuber Dream, which features numerous popular Minecraft YouTubers. He began frequently creating content and livestreams on the server. Technoblade had a friendly rivalry with Dream, and they were both generally regarded as among the best Minecraft players. As part of this rivalry, MrBeast hosted a series of player versus player duels between Dream and Technoblade with a $100,000 prize, which Technoblade won.
In September 2021, Technoblade raised over $300,000 for the Sarcoma Foundation of America through a charity livestream, passing the $250,000 goal within two hours.
Around the time of his death in June 2022, Technoblade's channel had 10.8 million subscribers. It posthumously reached 15 million subscribers in August 2022, then 20 million in May 2025.
Born on June 1, 1999, Technoblade resided in San Francisco, California. In a 2018 video, he revealed he would begin attending college as an English major. However, in a later 2019 video, he announced that he dropped out of college to play Minecraft full-time. The Daily Iowan later reported that Technoblade had attended the University of Iowa to study creative writing for a year, from 2018 to 2019. He was also known to have had ADHD, and was an atheist.
