During a livestream on April 11, 2025, Twitch streamer Blaire “QTCinderella” expressed her appreciation for the tribute to Technoblade in the recently released A Minecraft Movie. For those unfamiliar, Technoblade was a celebrated Minecraft YouTuber who tragically passed away in June 2022 following a battle with cancer.
While recounting her experience for her viewers, QTCinderella shared her emotional response to the poignant scene that pays homage to Technoblade:
“There is a Technoblade reference in it and it is so wholesome and sweet, like it melted my heart and it made me feel so warm and happy inside. It’s like… it’s so sweet. Essentially, there’s like villagers and there’s a… um, there’s a pig that walks by with a crown, which you know, Technoblade’s character… used to be like a pig wearing a crown. And someone goes ‘What is that, guys? Is he the king?’ and Jack Black goes, ‘No. He’s a legend.’ And it was just like… melt my freaking heart.”
Describing the heartfelt nature of the tribute, QTCinderella noted:
“It was very… it made me like… tear up. It was just like… oh my god. It was a very beautiful moment. I am really happy they did that.”
Behind the Scenes: How the Technoblade Tribute Came to Be
As QTCinderella detailed the impact of the Technoblade scene, her audience revealed that the idea to include this tribute stemmed from actor Sebastian Hansen. Reacting to this revelation, she remarked:
“The kid actor (Sebastian Hansen) made them do it? That’s so cool. It was… it was such a really nice tribute. When I got home and I said to Lud (Ludwig Ahgren), ‘It makes me so sad’ because Tech… that would have been so cool for Techno to like experience, you know? It just makes me so sad but it was really beautiful. I’m happy they included that.”
Jared Hess, the director of A Minecraft Movie, chimed in on how this touching tribute found its way into the film. He expressed:
“One of my favorite Easter eggs came from Sebastian, who plays Henry. When we were prepping the film, he was like, ‘Look, there’s this amazing Minecraft player named Technoblade who passed away, and I would love to be able to honor him somehow in the film.’ We were like, ‘Oh my goodness, of course.’ So we spoke with our design team, and there’s a really, really sweet, special nod to Technoblade in the film that is really cool.”
Released on April 4, 2025, A Minecraft Movie quickly became a blockbuster, grossing over $310 million during its opening weekend. This achievement secured its position as the highest-grossing opening weekend for a film based on a video game.
The star-studded cast includes Emma Myers, Jack Black, Jason Momoa, and Sebastian Hansen, alongside cameo appearances from popular YouTubers such as DanTDM, Aphmau, LDShadowLady, and Mumbo Jumbo.
